Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the importance of understanding cultural and communication boundaries when teaching a foreign language. This topic is extremely relevant to the field of translation and interpretation as it provides us insight into the challenges that we encounter in trying to convey a message that has its cultural specificity. We aim to solve one of the most difficult aspects of rendering a message into a target language to someone who is learning it. We also wish to facilitate foreign language teaching by means of better understanding some cultural concepts on our part. We have investigated innovative methods, and we have conducted multiple surveys for us to gain more perspective on the matter. We have gathered key findings that we will make use of in our new approach to teaching foreign languages.
