First lessons cummunicative skills as a European teacher
Normaly i'm not the kind of person who is interested in cultures and anthropology. But during the first two courses i was a little baffled about how we look at other cultures and how we look at our own culture. If we (I) speak about some cultures from over sea we speak about ' the others' or 'other cultures' and we somehow can't manage to look at them without comparing the cultures and asking wich one is better.But i've learned that it isn't about being the better culture but first of all about understanding your own culture. We may think that other cultures are weird but they probably look the same way at our culture. So we must try to look at our culture the way other cultures do. Only then we can start to look at other cultures.
