How hard/easy etc - good resources?

I have a new customer and being able to speak some would be most beneficial.

does your customer speak english? may be there are other ways of connecting with him/her.

Yes they do and one of my POC's is really good the other isn't as much. I just want to be able to show them IGAS about their business too. Just would like to be able to laugh at the same jokes you know?

risky ! be careful

a sales manager told me , never ask a customer where they are from , the customer says "idaho" and you confuse Idaho with Iowa and make a joke about cow tipping.
and you created a distance just by asking. ( have you ever seen a car salesman asking that?)

showing interests in korean food is the safest bet and its harmless. sharing american cultural things like old cars ,elvis and 'rat pack ' , mobs , Holyrood might be good ideas to explore.
