Episode 21: Navigating Hot and Cold Climate Culture with Sarah Lanier

Learning the culture of your host country is just as important as learning the language. Without ever intending it, we can cause hurt feelings to abound when our culture collides with another — especially when we try to project our social rules into the relationship. This is why we’re so thankful Sarah Lanier took the time to write about these differences in her book, Foreign to Familiar. In this episode we talk with her about hot climate and cold climate cultures and how knowing the difference between the two can completely change how you approach friendships in your host country.
