In this episode of Between Cultures, we talk about what it’s like to adapt to a new culture and navigate the subtle meanings behind people’s mannerisms, slang, and language. We share experiences of figuring out authenticity, from the friendliness of Americans that can suddenly turn distant to the blunt honesty of Israelis that can feel rude at first but also genuine. We discuss how cultural gaps show up in school, work, and daily life, from job interviews to army slang, and how living in multicultural spaces forces us to blend different languages, expressions, and behaviors while staying true to ourselves.
