More and more school-leavers are choosing to study abroad after finishing secondary school. While this is definitely an exciting experience, it’s living independently in a foreign country that is challenging for many students. In today’s talk, I’ll share some tips with you to help you become more independent when studying abroad.

First of all, you should learn a foreign language well. This way, you will become more independent while attending the lectures at the university and studying for the exams afterwards. A good knowledge of the local language will also help you take part in conversations with local people, thus making you more confident in your daily life.

Another way to become more independent is to get a part-time job, which will allow you to earn some pocket money. You will also learn how to be more organised and feel more independent by gaining some work experience. The best thing is that you will be regularly paid, cover some of your expenses and even save some money.

Cooking for yourself is also a good way to become more independent. When you’re living abroad, you must learn to cook if you don’t want to eat junk food or spend a lot of money at restaurants. Knowing how to cook and knowing what ingredients you put in your meals will give you a sense of freedom and independence.

Gợi ý đáp án

There are several things that one can do to become more independent while studying abroad. Here are some examples and reasons:

Learn the local language: Learning the language of the country where you’ll be studying will not only help you communicate better with locals but also help you understand and navigate the culture. It will also give you a sense of independence, as you won’t have to rely on others for translation or interpretation.

Take public transportation: Instead of relying on taxis or ride-sharing services, try to use public transportation such as buses, trains, or subways. This will help you save money and become more familiar with the city or town you’re living in.

Do your own laundry: Doing your own laundry may seem like a small thing, but it can help you feel more self-sufficient. It will also save you money and give you more control over your wardrobe.

Manage your finances: Being responsible for your own finances will help you develop important life skills. Make a budget, keep track of your expenses, and learn how to save money. This will give you the freedom to make your own choices and prioritize your spending.

Make friends with locals: While it’s important to connect with other international students, don’t forget to make friends with locals. This will give you a deeper understanding of the culture and help you feel more integrated into the community.

Overall, becoming more independent while studying abroad will not only make your experience more enjoyable but also help you develop important life skills that will benefit you in the future.

Skills studying abroad will give you

1. Intercultural communication and language

While you’re studying abroad, you will gain intercultural communication skills from interacting with people from different cultures.

2. Cultural awareness

Cultural awareness is a skill achieved from studying abroad when you really make an effort to understand the new country and its culture that you’re living in. Being culturally sensitive is a crucial part to being able to adapt to, or being flexible with, foreign surroundings.

3. Self-awareness

A more heightened self-awareness can be triggered while studying abroad as you begin to settle into your new home. When you find yourself in situations that are unfamiliar to you, you become more vulnerable. This vulnerability forces you to assess who you are and will maybe even make it more clear who or what you want to be.

4. Adaptability

Learning the local language, trying cultural dishes, understanding laws, customs, learning how to use money and how to use different transportation systems, are just a few things you’ll have to learn and to which you’ll have to adapt.

5. Empathy

Visiting historical sites, walking along ancient roads, and (most importantly) talking and connecting with people of different cultures all teach you empathy. When you get to interact with others and hear their stories, you will find that humans share much more in common than you thought—even if you grew up on literal opposite sides of the world.

6. Confidence

Your confidence can come from a lot of things, but it all comes down to challenging yourself and learning new things while abroad. Something as simple as learning to navigate the local transportation system, or how to order food in another language will make you more confident in yourself and your capability.

7. Problem solving and a sense of responsibility

Maybe you got lost walking to class or had a set back trying to learn the local transportation system. You will be responsible for thinking out of the box through these challenges, and oftentimes on your own. Being responsible for managing things on your own is an important skill you’ll gain (and practice) from studying abroad.

8. Independence

Living abroad in a different country with unfamiliar cultural norms can be daunting. But, you will learn how to be independent by facing and working through challenges (and life) on your own, and you’ll become more comfortable with your potential.

9. Maturity

The more you experience, learn, and grow throughout life (and accept the fact that it’s necessary), the more mature you will become. All of the skills learned from studying abroad can be used together in any combination to show you’re mature.

When returning home from studying abroad, you may feel different, changed. You may even learn more about yourself and see your own culture and home in a different light. Plus, the experiences and skills gained from study abroad can be used to your advantage in terms of your future career.

B: Yeah, I saw it too. What do you want to know?

B: That’s a good question. We should probably email them and ask for more information about the activities they offer.

B: That’s a good point. It would be helpful to know if the club is open to everyone or if there are any limitations.
