Don't worry, there is no racial discrimination. I've been to a lot of asian countries but not in Korea so I can't be totally sure about the culture shock and the manners. I think Canadians in general are patient and polite. No matter what you do, if it's different, you probably won't be judged and if you are, just stay patient and/or polite and everything will be fine. I'm sure you'll like it. One last thing, Canada can be pretty cold, be prepared for that lol Where will go in Canada?
I want to go to Canada, but I don't know what to prepare..
In July, I'll go to Canada to study English.It's my first time to go abroad.
Aside from any papers, what should I prepare?
Are there some special manners that are different from other countries? (especially Korea)
If there are, should I learn them?
And It all depend on how I do (<-what does this mean?) but is there racial discrimination?
I haven't prepared anything so I worry about all of this.
Please give me some information.
In Canada, just as in Korea, it is important to use polite language and say "Please" and "Thank you" often. For example:
"Wait a moment, please." "Can you please repeat that?" etc.
Also, Canadians are more likely to say "excuse me" to others when taking public transportation.
It is good to hold the door open for the person entering after you in a public place.
In a smaller city, many strangers may say "Hello" to you on the street. It is a great habit to try and make conversations with strangers to practice English whenever possible. (For example at convenience stores, restaurants, libraries, etc. Most Canadians will make small talk with you about anything!)
