It is necessary to learn how to communicate with people from other cultures to build good relationships with them． Here are some rules．
Learn about the culture first． （1） Before meeting with someone from another culture， try to take time to learn the basic "dos and don'ts" of that culture．
（2） Each culture has its own values， beliefs and prejudices． You shouldn't judge people based on these differences． Instead， respect them for what they are． You may even learn something new．
Speak clearly and slowly． Don't shout at others． Raising your voice doesn't make you easier to understand． （3） Communication difficulties lie in cultural differences， not because of intelligence．
