communicating with different cultural groups

The question to be addressed is, do I have a difficult time communicating with people from different cultural groups.

What someone does in their private time and with their life does not concern me. I treat ALL people with kindness and the same level of consideration. Who someone is and the culture of a person does not determine how they deserve to be treated.
What I do have learned during my time in Belgium is that I have a difficult time communicating with people who speak a different language and little to no English. There is no way to have an effective conversation that way.
Its difficult because we can't understand each other in order to accomplish whatever it is to be accomplished.

Body Language and Facial Expressions

Show:
Love Thy Neighbor
S06E118
19 min segment.

This episode starts with two women appearing to be lurking at the front door of someones home. They are smiling and talking and laughing. They appear to be friends based on their interaction how close they get to each other etc. The ring the doorbell rush in the house and the situation seems tense. One woman has a bat the other has a brick they are talking to a man who is holding his hands up. The women are no longer smiling, they are pointing and looking angry. The man is looking confused.

The non-verbal expressions are that of a tense situation. Two women confronting a man about a serious issue. 
I was close:

The two older women are confronting the man who has gotten a woman that they know and love pregnant. They are under the impression that he knows that she is pregnant and is not willing to accept the responsibility. When it turns out that he had no idea she was pregnant.
Had I been watching the show with the sound the only thing that would have been different would have been that I would have known exactly what was going on.

Body language and facial expressions are things that I try to pick up on easily and quickly because they tell us a lot. They tell us more than the words we say. Just like women often say I am fine, with their arms folded and looking discontent.
What I learned, rather what was confirmed, was that body language is essential to understanding how someone feels, what they are thinking, and what they are feeling.

Competent Communication

There isn't a single person that I know that demonstrates competent communication. Everyone that I know is a work in progress. There are things that people in my inner circle do as part of their progress, but when reviewing the assignment no particular person came to mind.
