It is true that the greater the difference in culture between two people, the greater the potential for misunderstanding and mistrust. To avoid culture shock and misunderstanding, foreigners should know more about the country. If foreigners would like to come to Indonesia, they should know about Indonesia’s culture that values tradition, punctuality, and communication styles,…

barriers themselves. According to Joynt and Warner, culture diversity makes communication difficult as the mindset of people of different cultures are different, the language, signs and symbols are different.

Language forms a pathway through human heritage and history, and a keystone of culture and self-identity. Thus, linguists are proposing that we should care about saving and preserving languages for various reasons.
