- Before we can begin learning the basic greetings and other beginner language topics, we must first learn how to interact and interpret culture.
- There are three components of culture we need to be cognizant of when interpreting culture's role and relationship with Spanish: Practices, Products and Perspectives.
- What does each term mean?
- Yes exactly!
- Practices are patterns of social interactions. Such as behaviors. They represent the knowledge of what to do and where. Can you think of an example of a practice?
- Would an example be traditions related to holidays? Such as saying a prayer before eating dinner?
- Products are the tangible or intangible creations of a particular culture. Some tangible products are paintings, a piece of literature and chopsticks. Can you think of intangible products?
- Yes they would! Good job!
- Would a dance or music be considered an intangible product?
- Perspectives represent a culture's view of the world. They are the philosophical perspectives, meanings, attitudes, values, beliefs, ideas that underlie the cultural practices and products of a society.
- Oh okay! So an example of a perspective would be the importance of family!
