Getting deeper into a culture. What do you think is the best way to get to know a culture?
Please, choose between 1-3 ways and explain why so.

Here's a short list to help you out, if you can't think of anything:
- visit the place
-learn the language
-meet people from the place (in your country, their country or elsewhere)
-get to know "their" history
-read about "them" from traveling or such books
-"their" youtube or similar postings
-music
-"their" international and domestic politics
-learning about "them" at school
-something else

I personally believe in experiencing the culture, one wishes to learn about, 'on the spot' with at least some basics learned from 'their' language. The use of language reveals some thinking patterns and general attitudes and the 'being on the spot' forces one into a situation where there's no avoiding the other culture... which can be a bit too much to some people, though.
