To build good relationships with people from other cultures, it is important to learn how to communicate with them properly. You can also make things easier by learning about their cultures and practising tolerance (包容). Before starting a trip or meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic "do's and don'ts" of that culture. The following are three useful tips.
Be upfront (直接的) about difficulties in communication. If you cannot understand someone or think that he or she did not understand you, say something about it. Avoid being rude, but patiently explain the problem. It is usually better to be upfront than to let a problem in communication go unaddressed (不予解决), since there may otherwise be bigger problems later.
Be respectful and tolerant. Each culture has its own values and beliefs. Signs of these may appear when you communicate with people from other cultures. Basic communication, however, is not a situation for you to judge people based on these differences. Instead, respect them for what they are, and tolerate them.
Be patient. Communicating with people from other cultures can be rewarding, but also has its difficulties. Don't expect that everything will come out quite right or be fully understood. Be patient with others, and ask them to be patient with you.

为了与来自其他文化背景的人建立良好的关系，学习如何正确地与他们沟通是很重要的。你也可以通过了解他们的文化和实践宽容来使事情变得更容易。在开始旅行或与来自另一种文化的人会面之前，试着花时间学习一下该文化的基本“该做和不该做”。以下是三个有用的建议。
坦诚面对沟通上的困难。如果你不能理解某人，或者认为他或她不理解你，那就说出来。避免粗鲁，但耐心地解释问题。通常情况下，在沟通中遇到问题时，最好提前解决，否则以后可能会出现更大的问题。
尊重和宽容。每种文化都有自己的价值观和信仰。当你与来自其他文化的人交流时，这些迹象可能会出现。然而，在基本的交流中，你不能根据这些差异来判断别人。相反，尊重他们，容忍他们。
要有耐心。与来自其他文化背景的人交流是有益的，但也有困难。不要期望每件事都能完全正确或被完全理解。对别人有耐心，也要求别人对你有耐心。
