Explicit understanding refers to knowledge that can easily be transmitted from the source to the recipient. Explicit knowledge can most commonly be found in manuals and documents, which provide clear, immediately usable information. Tacit understanding, on the other hand, refers to the difficulty of comprehending certain information when it is delivered orally or written down. This commonly refers to actions such as speaking a language or playing an instrument, which require continuous interaction and practice. Understanding the difference between tacit and explicit knowledge is important in the field of [[Cultural Diplomacy]] as it shows that raw information is often not sufficient with regard to understanding other [[Culture|cultures]].
