The number of people who learn the language of the target language while learning the language. You can say that a person with the perfect language can fully understand the language culture.

Language and culture can not be separated. Learning a language can make a learner a "key" of the culture of the person who speaks the language. Languages ​​should be taught from a cultural point of view, as students can openly observe the world and understand other cultures at a deeper level. If you teach language and culture at the same time, bilingual immersion students can acquire a stronger bilingual identity. Students usually teach academic content in two languages ​​so that there is not much time to teach cultural practices. However, enthusiasm that motivates language learning is related to the corresponding culture. If the bilingual course can not connect students to culture, even if you improve your language study, students will eventually quit school. Therefore, parents, teachers, school districts must incorporate cultural practices on every aspect of the bilingual curriculum.

Each language has a color embedded in culture. Of course, these will vary not only by language and language, but also by country. Therefore, the culture of the country is expressed in words. Sometimes culture is harder to master than the language itself. Of course there are national cultures, but there are also many changes in each country. Even in my own country, when we go to unfamiliar places and situations, we can all recognize it. To learn languages, learners need to experience the culture from which they originate. Even though globalization affects every corner of the planet, there are cultures that are unique to each country and region. If you do not understand this, it will be harder to learn the language.
