Some people claim that travelling to other countries is the best way to learn about different cultures, while others believe people can learn just as much about other cultures through books, films and the Internet. Although both points of view have their advantages, I think that travelling to other countries gives you more expirence and real understanding their cultures.
One major advantage of travelling to other countries is the opportunity to see the real residents of this country. It helps to know how people are living here, their style of speaking and about thier mentality. For example, Italians usually gesture while they are speaking. It means that they are emotional people. As a result, people can get the real facts about the culture of this country.
On the other hand, books,films and the Internet can also provide information about cultures of other countries. People can get the information about cultures of countries through the online streaming platforms for free. There are a lot of bloggers who record videos about different countries and tell many interesting facts. It might be a good option, however, only the real residents can tell you any facts about the country, culture and the traditions of this country. In addition, there may be a lot of myths on the Internet that can create negative stereoptypes about the country.
In conclusion, online platforms are a good option, but I believe that the travelling is the best way to learn about cultures for people who genuinely want to understand another culture.
