Learning about new cultures from around the world is priceless. We have a better chance of treating one another with sensitivity and respect if we learn about each other. Knowing about different cultures can also help reduce misunderstandings and fear. It can also help us all build new friendships. Plus, we can see things in different ways too, through discovering new cultures.  When you learn about cultures, you are learning about people. Not just their language, but their lives, history, passions, struggles and triumphs. This is what I love most about learning about different cultures.

Learn about the way people from different cultures think through doing these things. Read their books. Watch their movies and TV shows. But the best way to learn about different cultures is to talk to people from these cultures. Visit them. See them. See things from their point of view. So don't just rely on info by someone who is not from the culture they're discussing. Talk to someone from that culture.
