Have you ever had problems communicating with people from different cultures? Have you ever felt that your English is good, but you're still not getting your message across? Speaking a language isn't just about getting the words right – especially when you're dealing with people from all over the world.

We talk about: - what English as a lingua franca is; - who can communicate better in English: native speakers or non-native speakers (the answer will surprise you); - how to be polite in English; - an interesting case of misunderstandings between catering ladies from India and baggage handlers at Heathrow Airport; - how communication skills can save lives; - whether teachers are prescriptivists or descriptivists; - how giving grammar reasons and not grammar rules can be better teaching; - how language can show us our similarities and differences.
