Sketch 1

Communication breakdown = cultural differences

In Viet Nam it is typical to deny the compliments you receive. This is a way to show your modesty. However, in western cultures, people who give compliments often expect you to take about them, and denial of compliments, especially if it is repeated, may be rude and make the other person feel uncomfortable. In this situation, Lien may just politely thank her teacher.

Sketch 2

Communication breakdown = cultural differences

In the USA, holding up one thumb and index finger to maker a circle means OK, good, excellent, while in France, this gesture means something not so good, event worthless.

Sketch 3

Communication breakdown = language barrier

When the people in Ha Noi and some other provinces in northern Viet Nam say ‘dĩa’ they mean a fork, while this word means a palate for the people in southern Viet Nam.
