This also has to do with the differences between a high-context language (Portuguese) and a low-context language (English). Portuguese is my first language, and I can remember that I needed a lot feedback from native English speakers in order to fine tune my speech -- let alone writing -- so they could actually get it.

- Dwolb 10y agoThat's really interesting - I hadn't heard of this difference between languages. Thanks for sharing. Do you feel differences in context-type of a language means persuasion techniques differ as well?
- rodolphoarruda 10y agoI am not an expert on persuasion techniques, but if you take the same "logical leaps" situation you described in your comment and put it into the context of a business negotiation, chances are the other party may not feel confident enough to do business or simply to agree with you in some conditions because they don't get your line of thought.
