Cultural awareness

As well as having an excellent knowledge of your foreign languages and your mother tongue, you must also have good cultural knowledge. Sometimes a speaker will use culturally-specific words, expressions or phrases, which your listeners wont understand if you give a literal interpretation. You may have to add extra information to help your listeners out. Watch Lynsey and Lee give their views on this topic.
