ネイティブの文化では、どの様にして同僚や上司や部下と上手く付き合っているのでしょうか？　このシリーズでは、職場での挨拶の仕方から会議の進め方まで状況別に具体例を用いてレッスンを進めて行きます。文化の差が大きい日本とアメリカの場合、この差を渡米前に学ぶ事はとても大切です。例えば、ある日本人駐在員は、赴任時に上司が不在の為、職場での紹介が遅れました。周りのアメリカ人達は、「彼は誰？」「どうして挨拶しないの？」などと職場に緊張感が走りました。なぜでしょうか？　それはアメリカでは、目と目が合えば新しく移動して来た社員の方から自己紹介をしていくからです。そうすると相手もこちらの存在を理解し、歓迎してくれます。紹介されるまで黙っている日本人に対し、積極的に自己紹介をするアメリカ人。文化が違うのです。English Vitaminが提供する英会話習得は、常に文化と一体です。アメリカでの実生活では、２０％くらいの言語処理能力と残り８０％は、相手国の文化の理解、つまりアメリカ文化に合わせた適応能力が必要となります。彼らの習慣、信念、価値観、思考回路を学び、それを受け入れなければあなたのアメリカでの生活は、寂しく惨めな思いをすることになるかもしれません。この事実を明確に理解し、渡米すれば、きっと、あなたの精神的な不安を和らげ、充実したアメリカ生活へ溶け込むことができるでしょう。
