Difficult Things about Living in a Foreign Country

By Mami Yoshida

It is difficult to live in a foreign country.

First, using a different currency can be confusing if you come to this country for the first time. You should remember about how much this coin is. When you buy something, you can only pay with bills, but your wallet has many coins right now.

Second, you must get used to unfamiliar customs. If the country’s custom is to take off shoes when you enter a house, you need to keep this custom to live there.

In addition, you may feel homesick because of different customs. You may want to eat your country’s food or meet your family and friends. It is possible to meet your family and friends, but you can’t meet them every day.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you must speak a new language to communicate with foreign country people. The language may have different grammar or pronunciation, so you should study a lot of things. You may learn it soon or take a long time. It depends on how you study it.

Living in a foreign country brings a lot of hard things.
