中文摘要：文化是一个集体的概念。简单地说，文化是指一个社会的整个生活方式。语言和文化密不可分。语言是文化的一部分，文化影响语言。你不可能在不了解语言的情况下了解文化，你也不可能在不了解文化的情况下了解语言。文化错误比语言错误更糟糕，因此，要学习一门语言，首先要了解它的文化。

本文主要采用理论研究的方法来研究文化因素对不同语言的影响，从而达到对不同语言学习的帮助。本文共分四章。第一章是全文的绪论，介绍了本文的研究问题和目的。第二章主要是讲语言的不同群体以及学习不同语言的重要性和原则。第三章介绍了不同的文化以及由此产生的不同习俗。第四章介绍文化与语言的关系以及在不同文化背景下学习不同语言的影响并给出建议。
