Book Description

The key to communication, says linguistic anthropologist Michael Agar, is understanding the context and culture of conversation. In Language Shock, Agar reveals how deeply our language and cultural values intertwine to define who we are and how we relate to one another. From paying an electric bill in Austria to opening a bank account in Mexico to handling a parking ticket in the United States, he shows how routine tasks become lessons in the subtleties of conversation when we venture outside our cultural sphere. With humorous, insightful stories from his extensive travels, Agar engages us in a lively study of "languaculture" and enriches our view of the world.

I'm exploring new genres and authors I wouldn't have considered otherwise. I love how ListenBook extracts artwork and metadata from audio files, adding a visual touch to my listening experience. 🎧 Making housework more enjoyable – audiobooks turn mundane chores into moments of discovery. 🧹📚 The best app for audiobooks. Downloading and organizing files is super easy with ListenBook. The subtle background music at key moments enhanced the experience without being distracting. More audiobooks should use this technique when appropriate!

💼 Making work hours fly by with captivating stories – a true work-life balance! 💻📖 🎉 Finding the perfect audiobook is a breeze with this app's robust search and recommendation features. My reading list has never been better! 📚💫 ListenBook has become an essential part of my day, enhancing my commute and allowing me to enjoy audiobooks like never before. ListenBook has become my constant companion. It's like having a personal audiobook assistant. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.
