Language courses can help you address cultural differences with New Years celebrations

- Language courses and workers from the Philippines 🇵🇭

Many cultures believe that circles are significant. Symbolizing unity, enlightenment and perfection, circles are thought to bring good luck. This translates into eating 12 round foods (think grapes, oranges, etc) to symbolize each month, and even wearing polka dots to work to bring good luck. Language courses that emphasize cultural diversity can help your staff be sensitive to these ideals during this time.

- Brazilian workers 🇧🇷 and language courses

It is known throughout the world that white is the color of purity, cleanliness and peace. Brazilian workers might be wearing white more than usual. This is because the color is thought to bring good luck into the New Year.

- Language courses and German workers 🇩🇪

In places like Germany, Poland, Scandinavia and other countries eat fish on New Year's Eve. They believe that fish symbolizes fertility, and a bountiful life. Small oily fish like pickled herring or salmon is often served at parties. Corporate language courses that emphasize cultural diversity can help your workers be more sensitive to these beliefs... especially at lunch time.
