Last week we ran a roundtable with Global LT teachers to discuss intercultural communication in language learning. It was amazing to hear personal and professional stories.

If you would like to learn more about how to work and communicate with a particular culture, don't hesitate to contact us. Global LT provides customized cross-cultural and ex-pats programs. The goal is to learn how to become an efficient communicator whether you start living or working in a new culture, move with your spouse, or have international teams to work with.
