The purpose of this communication/texte is to describe and explain why the mastery of social theory and abstract knowledge, together with a small experience of social research, are insufficient for young beginners of ethnographic research, able to be more effective in their activities. Through out this communication it is going to be demonstrated there are some social interaction misleads in the field of research that are originated in the lack of a know-how on the field. The considerations I will do about learning knowledge that enables the correct usage of Etnography are based in my experience of mentoring and supervision of professional etnographies for the past 10 years with social researchers with some research experience (all of them with post-graduations in Social Sciences) although lacking knowledge on the ethnography method as well as practical and theoretical Anthropology that would give the background for a field research of that nature. Due to time limitations in this communication I will only make some remarks about this accumulated experience.
