Cross Cultural Training
In today’s multicultural business world, speaking your clients’ language is only the first step toward success. In order to succeed in the global marketplace, understanding your client’s cultural point of view is more important than ever. inlingua’s Cross-Cultural Training programs are designed to give you the cultural insight and understanding needed for social and business success--in any society.
For example, knowing English means more than just “hello” and “good-bye.” Did you know that in English-speaking societies, sitting too close to your client can be misinterpreted as aggression or, perhaps worse, as an overt sign of personal familiarity? After completing inlingua’s American Culture Training Course, you’ll know when to leave one empty seat between you and your client.
Studying Chinese for an important business trip to Beijing? Be sure that when your client compliments you on how well you speak Chinese, you carefully refuse the compliment. The different between “thank you, I’ve been studying Chinese at inlingua” (socially unacceptable) and “no, my Chinese is terrible--I can hardly speak a word” (polite and refined) can make the difference between landing that important client or going back home empty-handed. inlingua's Chinese Cultural Training Course will keep you from falling into the cultural traps that can pose a formidable barrier to understanding and good will.
Regardless of the language or society in which you need to interact, inlingua’s Cross-Cultural Training Programs are designed to provide you with the critically important information you need to succeed in today’s highly multicultural business, social, and academic worlds.
