Best advice for intercultural communication?
• Study English• Study English hard• Study English like crazy
![Page 3: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
English is the “global” language
• It’s your best chance• So study like crazy!• Even if you eventually live in a country where
they people don’t speak English …• …learning English now will help you learn
another language later• Language is probably the most difficult part of
any foreign culture
![Page 4: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Language is the best tool in intercultural communication
• But it’s not the only consideration• What other things do you need to think
about?

A kind of overload
![Page 9: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

![Page 17: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

![Page 18: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nothing but good
![Page 19: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Everything is romantic
![Page 20: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Everything is wonderful
![Page 21: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Everything is so exciting …
![Page 22: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
And it IS really exciting
![Page 23: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
My experience in Japan
• So many new things• Nice, polite hosts• People speak English• Hosts genuinely enjoy visitors who find
everything exciting• So new visitors are popular• So people are even nicer …
![Page 24: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
So there are certain dangers
![Page 25: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Be aware that this happens
![Page 26: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Like with a real marriage …
• … maybe you shouldn’t start a family too early• … your feelings may change later• … even so, you SHOULD enjoy it• Why not?
![Page 27: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Probably only lasts a few weeks
![Page 28: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Next stage: anxiety
![Page 29: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Novelty wears off
![Page 30: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Negotiation with reality
![Page 31: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Compare the old and the new (maybe the new doesn’t seem so good)
• The rhythms of the new culture may not suit you
• You start to realize that you are not communicating so well
![Page 32: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Just about everyone experiences this phase
![Page 33: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Comedown to anxiety
![Page 34: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
You may feel real negativity
![Page 35: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Real anxiety
![Page 36: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Real miscommunication
![Page 37: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Real dislike
![Page 38: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
But it’s all pretty normal
![Page 39: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
From too high to too low
![Page 40: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Everything is fantastic!!
![Page 41: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
No, everything is awful!!
![Page 42: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Before …
• The locals are so nice• They are so polite• Everyone speaks English!• Great!!
![Page 43: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
After
• They are insincere• They only want to practice English• They are stopping me learning
![Page 44: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Before
• Everyone likes you because you’re excited• Everything is new, magical, and exciting
![Page 45: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
After
• No one likes you because you’re cynical• And boring• And everything seems like it DOESN’T FIT• And you feel like YOU DON’T FIT
![Page 46: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
So you need to keep an open mind
![Page 47: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Realize that everyone has these feelings
![Page 48: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Don’t lose opportunities by being too negative
![Page 49: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
It’s just another phase
![Page 50: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Don’t worry
![Page 51: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Be happy
![Page 52: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
But it IS difficult
![Page 53: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Everyone becomes a LITTLE negative
![Page 54: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
It’s just normal
![Page 55: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
It’s frustrating
![Page 56: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
You feel powerless
![Page 57: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
And after a while …
![Page 58: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
… you start to come back
![Page 59: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
… and feel better
![Page 60: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
You stop feeling so hostile …
![Page 61: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
… and feel a bit more at home
![Page 62: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Maybe your language skills aren’t perfect
![Page 63: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Maybe you’ll never have native speaker pronunciation
![Page 64: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
But you can accept it
![Page 65: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Maybe there are some things you STILL don’t like …
![Page 66: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
But it’s OK
![Page 67: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
You can accept it
![Page 68: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)

• Some people don’t change completely• Keep some parts of the old culture• Try to keep the positive parts
![Page 70: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
• Some people don’t really change at all• Surrounded by foreigners• Remain in the old culture
![Page 71: Culture shock](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5881b7231a28abdd348b6815/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
