Are you interested in meeting new people from across the globe? Have you ever wondered, what makes us different and what makes us similar? What is culture? What is language? Cross cultural-communication is the science dedicated to studying why humans are so very different across our planet and yet can be friends and work towards a common humanity and shared goals. Come and learn the foundations of language, politeness, and expressions of friendship. Learn how to not offend our fellow humans, and spread Chinese warmth to fellow partners in business and science. This class will be useful to all of those who have an interest in taking their knowledge and expertise to new and exciting places internationally.

Classes are weekly and judged by a final research project, in which you will present a country or culture of the world to your classmates, and tell us what makes them both different and similar to the Chinese.
