It is often said “when in Rome, do as the Romans do”. Do you think people should adapt and accept the culture of the country they visit? Do you think it is possible to learn a culture without learning the language?

Some people believe that learning a
language

 will help in understanding the
culture

 of a particular country.
However
Linking Words
, I believe there are two sides to
this
Linking Words
 coin, which need to be addressed. The
first
Linking Words
 side is that not all traditions and cultures are
language
Use synonyms
-based. It comes down to the individual interest, if they want to learn they will learn. So no guarantee learning a
language
Use synonyms
 will give you a better understanding of a particular
culture
Use synonyms
.
For instance
Linking Words
, many foreigners have a better understanding of Hindu mythology as compared to Indians, even though it is
this
Linking Words
 very mythology
that is
Linking Words
 part of our
culture
Use synonyms
.
This
Linking Words
 is mainly because there are many computer and mobile applications that can translate any
language

 with the click of a button, thereby allowing a person to get familiar with a particular
culture
Use synonyms
 in their native
language
Use synonyms
. The other side of the coin to be considered is the human element of it. If you know the local
language
Use synonyms
, it is much easier to engage fellow locals and begin to understand the
culture
Use synonyms
 and traditions from their point of you and not only that, you would be able to join them as they partake in the traditions. Reading material content on tradition is one thing, but living and embracing it is another, which I feel can only be done by learning the
language
Use synonyms
 of the country. To sum it all up, I think it is naive to say that you can learn about a
culture
Use synonyms
 or tradition without knowing about the
language
Use synonyms
 because the “human component” always plays an important role. As always, only if something is interesting will one have the motivation to learn it.
