language and culture

To communicate with the foreign people we have to know their language.The most important thing that effects the language is culture.Culture and the language are interconnected.So we can`t use the one without the other...
I want to give an example for this: I lived in Tajikistan for 4 years and at the beginning I learnt the Tajik really quick but it was difficult for me to communicate with the people because everything was different especially the culture.Later when i got used to culture i started to use the language much more better and communicate with the people easier.
I suggest everybody to travel some other countries.But before travelling you should learn the language and the culture of that country if you don`t want to have some communication problems at the beginnings :P

yes, you pointed out some important thing here ;)

you can learn some language with some individual efforts, you can improve your foreign language, but if you go abroad you may not see exactly what you expect about the language you've learned. Also our Italian prof. said the same things about Italian as you know... Anyway, to sum up shortly, language needs knowledge and study but culture needs experience ;)
