What are the best ways to deal with culture shock? Nowadays the travelling and studying abroad are getting more famous and popular among modern people. Being abroad they face up with different problems such as adoption to the foreign language, money, culture difference, infrastructure of the city and etc. Among the scientists all this aspects of life as well as known like the "culture shock", which influence on the person´s behavior totally in the foreign country. It´s not easy to cope with it, but I suppose that there are exist some ways to deal with this problem. First of all, person should prepare himself for foreign trip before travelling. In this term he has to collect information from the Internet about new country, including different tasks such as city´s map, money´s system, traditional rules and habits, style of living etc. Lets see my experience. Before travelling to Spain, unfortunately I hadn´t seen these things, that is why my trip was a little bit crazy and uncommon=) In my opinion these actions could save the person and give to him more confidence. Secondly, I suggest attending foreign languages’ courses for improving communicating and grammar skills. In fact, only 32% of travelers feel confidence speaking with natives on the free way. As a result language trainers could keep inside confidence and self-sufficient. When I went to Spain for the first time, I didnt feel something bad. Just went to the information center and asked some questions. Of course, the level of my spanish was awfull I guess=) But its better than nothing. Finally, I recommend for travelers who have already settled in the other country to get communication with natives in friendly and positively way. The better places for this are cafes, restaurants, park´s bench etc. I suppose that it´s the best method to avoid the culture shock impact in foreign country in several reasons. From the one hand, optimistic and open-minded person always attracts attention among people which around him wherever he or she stays. Form the other hand, in discussion we can learn about country´s culture and tradition differences more than in others sources and origins. In conclusion I would like to say that every point is good in term of avoiding the culture shock. The tastes are differ that´s why every person may choose the first one which he or she likes. But I think the ways which were offered by mi own are accommodate and useful for everybody =)
