How language and cultural understanding play a role in strengthening relationships between couples from different backgrounds

While speaking to Briefly News, psychologist and relationship expert Penny Holburn said if a person does not understand the cultural norms of a culture and doesn’t understand language usage.

"It is very easy to use language or behave in ways that are offensive to someone from another culture. We are all shaped by the language we use. Language can mean different things in different cultures. Similarly, behaviours can mean different things in different cultures, and what is acceptable in one culture can be incredibly rude in another," Penny explained.

The psychologist and relationship expert said that not understanding language and cultural norms can cause huge "misunderstandings" between two or more people of different languages or cultures.

"Sometimes the words or behaviour is unknowingly deeply offensive to another person. You have to find out as much as you can about the language and culture of another person. It will help smooth the relationship. This even applies to work relationships."
