Thank you so much Mrs. Koutlaki. I easily understood what you say about Persian culture and cultural differences. now Im working on my thesis. this is about "A corpus-based study of the concept of ehteram in Persian with its implications for intercultural communication". Professor Farzad Sharifian introduced this new area to me. now Im a novice researcher in the field of cultural linguistics, but Its my dream to work or write a paper with you as an expert in this field.

I love this piece. It goes to the essence of what can turn out to be highly uncomfortable situations when there is a discord between peoples operating according to different cultural norms. It rings very true to me especially because I have experienced most of those said cultures.

Keep up the great writing Sofia!
