Living in a foreign country and going to school with people from various parts of the world has given me the opportunity to encounter and interact with people from different cultures.I would like to share some of my experiences and thoughts with you.When I first arrived.I knew no one and I needed all fingers to communicate what i said in English.All of the foreign students were in the same situation.When we could not find the right word we used strange movements and gestures to communicate our meaning.
Knowing some common phrases.such as How are you? Fine.thank you.and what country are you from?was enough in the beginning for us to make friends with each other.The TV room in the dormitory became our meeting place every evening after dinner.but for the most part their words were just a strange mumble to us.
