Culture Shock

Understanding what culture shock is and how it comes about will help you identify it more easily and make your international move a little easier.

The online Oxford Dictionary     1    (define) culture shock as disorientation experienced when someone is suddenly in an unfamiliar culture or way of life. This is a good summary. Let’s break it down a bit further.     2    you move to a new country, everything is unfamiliar: weather, landscape, language, food, dress, social roles, values, customs, and communication—basically, everything you’ re used to is no longer in place.

You’ll find that the day unfolds differently,     3    business is conducted in a way that may be hard to understand, and that the stores are opened and closed at hours you could never predict. The smells, sounds, and tastes are unusual, and you can’t communicate with the locals—not even     4     (buy) a loaf of bread. This is a culture shock, and like any form of shock, there is a definite and almost certain reaction.

How to Help Yourself

There are several things you can do to help yourself     5    the stages of culture shock. First, fight the urge to retreat(=leave)and instead join a club, try out for a sports team, volunteer, or take a language class. Meeting new people and forcing yourself     6    (become) part of the community will help you through the re-integration stage.

Also, it’s important when you’ re settling into your new home country to ensure your home space     7    (feel) good and comfortable.     8    (settle) into a new home is the same in a foreign country     9    it is in your own country. Take the time you need to feel good in your space.

Get out. Walk around your new neighborhood. Be seen. Smile. Visit the same coffee shop or bookstore or market. You’ll soon be recognized.

Go on tours. Be a tourist in your new town. Get to know your city,     10    history and culture. This will help ease you into the independence stage.
