cultural mistakes and linguistic ones

Do you think cultural mistakes are worse than linguistic ones? why or why not? If you are a teacher, how will you do to help your students to avoid cultural mistakes?
  

Top answer

Mistakes of all kinds can be small or large ones, so I wouldn't single out cultural mistakes as more heinous. Recognition of cultural faux pas arises in the classroom, and I draw attention to them then. Many textbooks have 'cultural notes' sections in each unit which touch on the more common causes of embarrassment or physical injury.
