I lived in Europe for three years. At first I struggled with the language and found people were not particularly friendly. As time went by I learned basic communication techniques and ultimately became fluent in German, spoke a bit of French and Spanish. The people became more and more friendly as time went by. I think so.
Effective communication requires more than talent.
It is an art. David Rohlander is a highly recognized international speaker, consultant and author.
