As more expats approach the Romanian business environment wishing to really understand the differences, the cross-cultural awareness is paramount.
Mastering another language allows us to transfer to another mindset. Language is never only about words, it is about transferring feelings and accepting a different context. Multicultural success is nearly always, directly connected to multilinguism.
It is also known that if you master two languages, you pick up other languages more easily. Having the language also allows you to participate in a culture rather than being a passive observer.
It is really this openness to new experiences which is a form of emotional and cultural intelligence.
