Pick one culture you would like to learn more about. Here are some things you can do, but you’re not limited to this list.

• Learn the language. (Using the website- Duolingo you can learn 5 common words or phrases.)

• Start with the 5 F’s- Flags, Fashion, Food, Faces (influential people), and Festivals, but let’s NOT stop there.

• Go beyond the 5 F’s. Look at the Cultural Iceberg that is attached.
