Learning vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are obviously difficult tasks, but I think something else can be just as challenging. Context and culture. Words and grammar are not the only way that we communicate. The world isn’t always direct and clear. In fact, some cultures and parts of the world rely extensively on context to communicate meanings. Today, we are going to discuss culture and context in language learning. We’ll discuss low-context cultures, high-context cultures, and how this affects English learning and English usage!
