Fun Fact Friday!

A small gesture can be interpreted very differently across cultures.

Did you know that Bill Gates once sparked a major online debate in South Korea over a simple handshake?

During a 2013 meeting with then-President Park Geun-hye, Gates shook her hand while keeping his other hand in his pocket. In South Korea, some viewed the gesture as overly casual or disrespectful, while others saw it simply as a cultural difference or Gates’s personal habit.

In Korean culture, respect for age, position, and social relationships has traditionally influenced etiquette and interpersonal communication.

In global business, cultural awareness is not optional. It shapes communication, trust, and teamwork.

Your meeting with an international partner can look very different when your team understands the cultural expectations behind the conversation.

Hosting international interns is one practical way to help teams strengthen cross-cultural awareness while also gaining fresh perspectives and global talent.

If your organization is interested in learning more about hosting international interns, contact us at [email protected].

We recently visited Park Crossing High School, the only high school in Montgomery currently offering Mandarin instruction! It was wonderful to see students exploring a language that opens doors to new cultures and opportunities.

During our visit, we joined Ms. Teresina Vazquez, World Languages and Seal of Biliteracy Education Specialist at ALSDE, to promote the Seal of Biliteracy and celebrate the value of learning another language.

Thank you to Park Crossing for welcoming us! 🌍📚

🧐Time to get to the bottom of it! 🔍

Today’s Lesson: Chinese Slang

Slang: 打破砂鍋問到底 (dǎpò shāguō wèn dàodǐ) 🥘

In Taiwan, we say “打破砂鍋問到底,” meaning “break the pot to ask till the bottom.” The equivalent of “get to the bottom of it.”

Example: He kept asking questions and 打破砂鍋問到底— he needs to know everything! 🔍

🤔 Are you the type to 打破砂鍋問到底 or are you a person who goes with the flow?
Comment 🍲 for “need to know” or 🧘‍♂️ for “go with the flow.”

FUN FACT: ORIGAMI HAS GONE TO SPACE!

Think origami is just paper cranes?

Think again. 👀

The same folding principles used in origami have inspired engineers to design solar arrays for spacecraft that can be folded into a compact space for launch—and then unfold into enormous structures once they reach space. 🚀☀️

In one NASA/JPL research project, an origami-inspired solar-array design could expand from about 8.9 feet to an incredible 82 feet across!
https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/solar-power-origami-style/

That’s the power of a fold. 🤯

Origami is where art, mathematics, creativity, and engineering come together—and you don’t need to be a NASA engineer to experience it yourself!

✨ Korean Word of the Week: 추석
*(chu-seok)*

Have you ever heard of *Korean Thanksgiving*? 🌕🍂

In Korean, one of the most important traditional holidays is called 「추석」.

**Meaning:**

추석 = **Chuseok / Korean harvest festival / Korean Thanksgiving**

「추석」 is one of Korea’s most important traditional holidays.

It is celebrated in the **fall**, usually when the moon is full and bright. During 추석, many families travel to their hometowns, gather together, prepare special food, and spend meaningful time with loved ones. 🏡💛

People often enjoy traditional foods such as **송편** (songpyeon, half-moon rice cakes), seasonal fruits, and other festive dishes. 추석 is also a time to give thanks for the harvest and remember family traditions. 🌾🍇🍐

In other words, **추석** is a holiday that brings together **family, food, gratitude, and tradition**.

**Example:**

**Families gather together during Chuseok.**

추석에는 가족들이 함께 모여요.

For many people, 추석 is a special time to eat delicious food, admire the full moon, and enjoy being with family. 🌕👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

**Question:**

여러분은 **추석에 무엇을 해보고 싶나요?**

**What would you like to do during Chuseok?**

A) Try 송편 for the first time 🥮

B) Wear 한복 and take pictures 👘📸

C) Enjoy the full moon with family or friends 🌕

D) Tell us more in the comments 💬
