 1. I once went abroad, but it was just a vacation in Singapore and at that
time I did not really understand the culture of other countries or what I
am now learning across cultures. little I know about the country is that if
littering will be subject to sanctions. but now I have prepared it by
deepening the study of cross-cultural studies and looking for references
from outside.

Prepare for cultural differences:

The more you know about the culture of your host country, the more you are
ready for a different way of life, and the easier it is for you to overcome new
ideas and experiences. Misunderstanding due to cultural differences is a reality
but can be reduced through sensitivity and careful communication.
Being proactive, research some of your country's cultural habits before you
leave. Knowledgeable students usually have an easier transition once they are
abroad.
Learn a language:
Learning the national language used in your host country will help you
communicate, and reduce the effects of cultural shocks and misunderstandings.
Being able to communicate with the locals will minimize the pressure from your
steps.
Open minded:
Open to accept cultural differences and alternative ways of doing things.
Unknown people may be frightening at first, but in time you will simply accept
this unusual situation.
Patient:
Adapting to a new culture and country takes time. Be patient and allow yourself
to make mistakes and learn from them as you continue.
Rest:
Naturally, if something like that happens in your own country. Resting from all
that is unusual it helps. When adapting seems difficult, take part in familiar
activities (read books, watch movies, or listen to music in your home language).
You will find that this will energize you and help you overcome every challenge
you face.
Respect the Difference
Life with a transverse difference between you and your country's host is
inevitable. but there is always an option to respect these differences if you want
to be accepted by the host of your country.

Following the advice of others will help you adjust to your new host country
and discover a new world full of cultural meaning and knowledge. Expatriates
are challenging experiences that can ultimately be useful, both personally and
professionally.

2. while language is the primary means of communication , Language can

cause crosses cultural misunderstandings and analyze cross-cultural
misunderstandings. messages sent by the sender cannot be received by
the recipient because what is meant by the recipient is not the same or
different in terms of meaning. here we must learn cross-cultural
communication. so cross-cultural there is also an understanding of cross-
cultural communication. relating to attitudes, nonverbal behavior, ethics,
social status, and many others. Examples of cultural differences:
for example
-in America eating with your left hand is normal but in Indonesia eating with
your left hand is not good or rude.
- Arabic is written from right to left but almost other countries including
Indonesia are written from left to right
- in America people shake hands and hug. But not only in America did some
countries do the same thing but in India they only joined hands to say Namaskar
- in Japan, bowing is a very important tradition and learning how to bend is one
of the best ways to show that you value culture
- In indonesia : people in solo talk softly but in medan, people talk in high tone.
Betawi people talk using rude language : "mau kemana lo",.
"Kaga ngapa ngapa"
"Emang elu mau kmana?"
"Kaga tau gue"
3. a) certainly in my country there is non-verbal discussion while language
is the main means of communication, nonverbal behavior also
communicates. Nonverbal patterns include movements, facial
expressions, eye contact, body movements, touch, and the use of space
and time. gestures are a clear source of misunderstanding, because they
might have different meanings. However, other forms of nonverbal
communication may cause particular difficulty, partly because we don't
think about them much about it. therefore, we may not be able to figure
out what is causing the misunderstanding or why we feel uncomfortable.

b) When nonverbal communication is carried out in harmony with your

words, there will be trust and clarity in the whole communication process.
Conversely, if verbal and nonverbal communication are out of sync, then
suspicion, tension, or confusion between two people who are
communicating will increase.

For those of you who want to be excellent communicators, learning

nonverbal communication is absolutely legal. Not only studying what
other people are doing, but also yourself.

Nonverbal communication is also an important aspect of daily life. For

example, in caring for and educating children, nonverbal aspects such as
touch and hug are very important as a way to convey affection between
parents and children.

Another example that requires nonverbal aspects is when choosing a

partner or responding to a hazard. Therefore, by knowing the type of non-
verbal communication, we are expected to convey and understand
information better.

c) -break the assumptions

-empathise
-involve
-discourage herd mentality
-avoid insensitive behavior
