6 Tips for Communication Tip 1: Arrange meeting appointments properly. For example, you can say, “I’d like to make an appointment with Mr. Lee.” Second tip: Show goodwill and hospitality to your interlocutor. You can say to your interlocutor, “I’ll arrange everything.” Third tip: Avoid interruptions during the communication. Fourth tip: Behave appropriately. Fifth tip: Admit your mistakes at the right time. A sentence full of apology, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault,” usually earns the other person’s forgiveness. Sixth tip: Complaining isn’t being unreasonable. Getting angry doesn’t solve any problems; instead, when you’re angry, calmly but firmly tell the other person, “I have a complaint to make,” and then explain what happened. Eight Rules of Etiquette: Rule 1: Do not ask about age. Westerners' ages are kept secret. Especially after the age of 24, one will never talk about their age. Second precept: Do not ask for wealth. A person’s income and the valuables they carry are related to their abilities, status, and reputation. Third rule: Do not ask about marriage. This is personal privacy. It’s not a pleasant thing to have an adult foreign guest admit that they are still unmarried. Fourth rule: Do not ask for the address. Westerners believe that by giving someone your address, you are inviting them to visit your home. Westerners don’t like to invite people over to their homes casually. The fifth precept: Do not inquire about past experiences. This is the other party’s ‘secret cards’, as well as trade secrets; Westerners do not easily let others see their cards. The foreign guests considered it an unfriendly interrogation and an interference in others’ private lives. Sixth precept: Do not inquire about beliefs. Both Zhengzhi’s views and religious beliefs are highly serious. Seventh precept: Do not inquire about whereabouts. Pig Bajie: I don’t care about eating.
Body language is also important at critical moments! :lol
"Pig Bajie: “I’m not asking about food.” I’d like to ask gently, why can’t we ask about food? For example: “Have you eaten?” Do you want to eat with me? ”
Do in Rome as Rome does!
Actually, it’s not always the same; sometimes foreigners will take the initiative to ask you if you’re married What is your income?
Then there’s nothing to start a conversation with, right?
I’ve learned it now; it turns out there are so many details to consider
Where was this copied from? I’ve never thought about asking foreigners what their beliefs are At least none of those I asked felt that I was impolite, and usually we would discuss it as well
It’s not generalized, right? Not all foreigners are like this, are they? For example, in Chinese culture, would he get angry if he didn’t eat? No way... I’m just saying that talking about the weather is something that every foreigner has no problem with.
