Language is Culture

Do Canadians have trouble understanding you? Do Canadians confuse you?
Why? Communication is more than words. In this course, we study cultural
similarities and differences. We look at gestures, body language, intonation
and conversation styles. You can communicate better in English if you
are culturally aware.
