What if the world's greatest misunderstandings were never about language, but about meaning?
In Lost in Translation, Found in Language, explore the hidden currents beneath global conversations. From humorous cross-cultural slip-ups to the profound intricacies of pragmatics, idioms, tone, and nonverbal cues, this insightful and engaging book demystifies what really gets "lost in translation"—and what can be found when we truly learn to listen.
With a blend of personal anecdotes, cultural analysis, and practical tools, this guide is essential for anyone navigating the increasingly interconnected world—whether you're a globetrotter, multilingual professional, teacher, student, or simply curious about how communication bridges (or breaks) cultures. You'll learn how language shapes thought, how culture crafts context, and why empathy might be the most important skill of all.
Perfect for readers of Erin Meyer's The Culture Map or Deborah Tannen's You Just Don't Understand, this book offers a fresh, accessible take on the global language puzzle—and how to solve it, one conversation at a time.
