I think that this is some of the best training out there for getting actual SKILL at learning a culture. Once you go through this course, you know exactly what to start doing when you arrive in your host culture.
Other programs might have as much theory, but I haven’t seen any that are as intensely practical. Every outgoing missionary would benefit from this course.
