Culture Studies must be considered seriously; there is a vital need for it since the problem of intercultural understanding is so great. There must be a place for it in academic studies even if this is difficult due to its interdisciplinary character. It is difficult to define since it constitutes itself in the interaction of the learner with the foreign culture: a culture can be described but it has to be experienced. Students can study literature, linguistics and language, but must also study the element that connects these: the economic, sociological, political, historical and cultural background that explains them.
