It's always a good idea to study the language of a foreign country before you travel there. But speaking with someone from another country can involve more than just words in a different language. People in different countries can have very different customs when they speak.

People in Indonesia always want to be agreeable and polite, and this means that they don't like to say no. In their native language (Bahasa Indonesia), there many ways to say yes. But twelve of these yes words actually mean no!Australians are also friendly people, but they value directness. Australians prefer a clear, direct response, even if it is not the one they wanted.

The French appreciate the "art" of conversation, which can include arguing as a form of entertainment. In this case, speakers may interrupt each other frequently. This is considered active participation in the conversation by both people. It is better than one person "lecturing" the other.

As in many Latin American countries, titles are very important in Costa Rica. People's titles can indicate their profession, such as Doctor (doctor) or Ingeniero (engineer). Licenciado is used when talking to someone with a college degree. If someone doesn't have a professional title, the words Señor (Mr.), Señora (Mrs.) or Señorita (Miss) are appropriate.

a. say no in a direct way. d. receive a direct answer.b. refer to a person’s profession. e. argue for entertainment.c. can also mean no.
