1. Avoid mindsets!
Changing midsets...
The task: Produce as many paper tubes as possible based on the given sample.
Round 1: Nobody can talk. Round 2: Only one person talks. Round 3: All of you can talk.
2. Listen and observe!
3. Be aware!
Crisis • Changes in eating habits and sleeping habits • Homesickness; calling home much more often than usual • Being hostile/complaining all the time about the host
country/culture • Irritability, sadness, depression • Frequent frustration; being easily angered • Self doubts; sense of failure • Recurrent illness • Withdrawing from friends or other people and/or
activities.
Adjustment: • Realize that what you are going through is
normal. • Keep in touch with your home country. • Take care of yourself. Eat well, exercise,
and get enough sleep! • Talk to someone. • Have fun and relax! • Improve your language skills.
The power of vulnerability
Let’s see some examples…
Starting a conversation: In the UK it is considered impolite to ask someone about their age, religion, political views or how much money they earn.
Formal addressing: Italians are more formal in addressing new acquaintances and col leagues. Using an informal greeting like 'ciao' to someone you’ve just met will be interpreted as rudeness.
Manners: People are incredibly direct. They won’t be afraid to ask you about money or to correct you when they think you are doing something wrong.
Homeless speak English: It’s surprising how many Hungarian students don’t speak English but you can find homeless people having fluent English conversations any time.
How to communicate
Understand relativism
Some things are relative to some particular frame or reference, such as a language or a culture. Understand that people from other cultures might have entirely differently value systems than yours, but still not be explicitly wrong.
Give proper personal space:
Different cultures have different norms regarding what personal space is public (in which other humans can stand and converse with you) and private (reserved only for your dear ones).
Know relationship differences:
Many foreigners think American relationships are superficial (with a brief "Hi, Jim", and never a backward glance). Americans might think relationships in other cultures are too sentimental. So, know that if a person strikes you as too voluble or withdrawn, it may be considered normal in his culture.
Ask:
There is no better tool for effective communication. If something strikes you as funny or inappropriate, if you feel the other person is neglecting you or is offended, simply ask him what you can do to remedy the problem. Grievances are like silence- broken when they are spoken out.
! Put yourself out there to appreciate what you have
in here.
