One of the most important things you can do when communicating with people who have a different culture than you is to really take the time and effort to learn about their culture. Research their customs, values and traditions, and make sure to be respectful at all times. Ask questions in a polite and non-intrusive way so as to understand their perspective. Show an openness to learn, but be aware of the different norms of communication. In some cultures, expressing one’s true opinion openly may be considered rude, so be mindful of this. Above all else, be patient, understanding and accept that people may have different points of view due to the cultural differences.
