Body language: The symbol for okay in the U.S. means zero in France and a vulgarity in Brazil.
Translation limitations: The Japanese concept of indebtedness has no direct English equivalent.
Lack of language training: Many non-Hispanics do not speak Spanish in areas of the U.S. with a high Hispanic population.
