Summary/Abstract: Foreign language learning means more than grammar, vocabulary or set phrases that could be used in different situations. Foreign language learning is foreign culture learning. Learning culture is a must because it helps avoid the stereotypes and enables students to take control of their own learning as well as to achieve autonomy by evaluating and questioning the wider context within which the learning of the target language is embedded.
