Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Cultural blunders and language mistakes are understandable and forgivable. If you are guilty of a blunder, simply apologize and move on.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Become aware of your own biases. Successful intercultural communication requires more than just an understanding of the other party's culture; you need to understand your own culture and the way it shapes your communication habits. Be careful about applying the Golden Rule. The problem with the Golden Rule is that other people don't always want to be treated the same way you want to be treated, particularly across cultural boundaries. The best approach: Treat people the way they want to be treated. Exercise tolerance, flexibility, and respect. Practice patience and maintain a sense of humor. A sense of humor is a helpful asset as well, allowing people to move past awkward and embarrassing moments. When you make a mistake, simply apologize and, if appropriate, ask the other person to explain the accepted way; then move on.
