Abstract

This article explores the importance of effective communication in cross-cultural interactions and examines the common barriers that can arise due to cultural differences. It highlights the ways in which misunderstandings related to language, nonverbal communication, and cultural assumptions can hinder dialogue. By offering practical strategies such as active listening, cultural awareness, and communication flexibility the article provides readers with tools to navigate and overcome these challenges. It emphasizes the role of empathy, open-mindedness, and adaptability in building stronger, more respectful relationships across diverse cultural settings.
