Молодежь о проблемах изучения иностранных языков в современном мире

Little Robin Redbreast jumped upon a wall,

Pussy cat jumped after him, and almost got a fall;

Little Robin chirped and sang, and what did pussy say?

Pussy cat said, Mew, and Robin flew away.

The options of these codes are similar in English and Russian languages, but the cultural myths are different. For example, the English connect the bird’s red breast with the red uniform of the British postmen, who are called “robins” because of uniforms’ bright color. In the 19

century the picture of a robin-postman was printed on postage stamps and Christmas cards.

In Russia a postman, who delivers the Christmas and New Year greetings, is traditionally represented by a bullfinch.

Interpreters should look for the necessary language means to represent differences in the cultural biomorphic codes.

Intercultural communications relates to cultural competence. Interacting with people of different backgrounds is important in the modern day world and understanding the cultural context, background, and upbringing of the people around you, can allow a better relationship to develop.

Intercultural communication is laden with difficulties. Even with the progressive globalization of the modern world, language continues to be a barrier to effective communication. If you have ever studied a foreign language or spoken with someone for whom English is a second language, you are aware that many speech patterns and common expressions simply do not translate well.

Although nonverbal intercultural communication is less frequently explored, it is still extremely important. From hand gestures to bowing, nonverbal communication is crucial in every culture. Understanding the common issues associated with intercultural communication can lead to more effective communication with people from different cultures.

Knowing how to speak two languages is not the same thing as knowing how to translate.
