You would probably face many cultural differences and there might be a language barrier, which would make things even harder. You might be treated differently either because you look different or you don’t speak the language etc. I think I would feel overwhelmed and out of place.

I agree

I too think that language would be a huge obstacle when moving to a different country.

I agree, it would be very hard to adjust.

I agree completely

If I were to move to a foreign country, I would go to France. Some struggles I would face would be not knowing the language fluently, not knowing where everything is, and not knowing anyone there. I feel like I would probably be treated poorly at first because I wouldn’t really fit in. I predict that I would feel pretty good because I’ve always wanted to live in a different place and learn about different cultures.

You don’t think that being treated poorly by the people there would affect how you felt about living there?

Katelyn

At least there’s a positive reason for being there. A language barrier is definitely a struggle.

Brook

Struggles would be finding a job, somewhere to live, friends, etc. You would prolly be treated like an outsider and probably not feel safe with everyone looking you and being rude.

Kiana Farnworth

I agree, people have a way of making you feel like trash for wanting a better life for yourself.

Kayla

2/20/2019 09:40:37 am

That is so true

Jennifer

2/20/2019 09:42:30 am

Agreed.

Hailey Jo

I agree, you could potentially be treated like an outsider

Kiana Farnworth

You might be treated like a nuisance, a burden, or a threat. It would be hard to get your feet on the ground after moving to a country you are unfamiliar with. You will more than likely have a hard time finding a job and if you can’t find a job you can’t live. It would probably feel lonely and hopeless.

Brook

2/20/2019 09:39:37 am

True

Kayla

2/20/2019 09:39:56 am

That is so true. People are not very accepting.

Cherish

2/20/2019 09:41:00 am

I agree that being lonely would be present for a while.

Hailey Jo

2/20/2019 09:45:22 am

I’d feel out of place!

Brandon Westfall

2/20/2019 09:46:06 am

I agree with you

Joe

Possibly learning a different language and adjusting to their culture. I would probably feel slightly out of place at first but would get comfortable after a little time.

Sarah

2/20/2019 09:42:21 am

Yeah I think it’s important to know that eventually you’ll adapt

Kayla

Some of the struggles that could be faced is how different it could be. You’re moving to a place you know little to nothing about. Fitting in could be a struggle as well. Because it is not your home town, those who live there may be skeptical and rude. You could feel many different ways; scared, angry, sad.

Jennifer

2/20/2019 09:39:18 am

It would probably be a hard change. You would have to be careful with the way you spoke or acted, especially around certain people. I think it would be a struggle to get acceptance from those around you.

Saymen

You might have problems getting used to the cultures and many more.

Aimee

2/20/2019 09:43:08 am

I agree, cultural differences play a big part in adjusting to a new place.

Nutt

Culture is one of the hardest things to become familiar with but I believe it is also one of the most fun things to learn.

Katelyn

2/20/2019 09:40:12 am

Language barrier might be a struggle. Understanding the culture and how people live their lives could also be a struggle. I’ll be treated differently, depending how the people react to foreigners and if they respect them. I would probably feel out of place and that I don’t belong there at the start.

Brenna

I agree, language barrier would be a struggle depending on where you immigrate to.

Nutt

2/20/2019 09:40:21 am

The biggest struggle to me would be getting familiar with the culture and tradtitioms of said country. I think I would be treated as an ignorant individual as I won’t be as familiar with the region yet and to be honest I would probably feel stupid at times as I learn.

Brenna

2/20/2019 09:40:30 am

Some struggles I might face is speaking the language of the country or even finding a job. People treat immigrants different, some are nicer and some are meaner. I’ll probably feel lost and alone since I won’t have any friends or family there.

Sarah

2/20/2019 09:43:57 am

I can’t even imagine trying to find my way around a new place.

Sarah

2/20/2019 09:40:36 am

You might have trouble learning the language, norms, and cultures. There are a lot of cases where immigrants are treated poorly or are taken advantage of. You might feel mistreated, afraid, intimidated, maybe excited about being in a new place.

Katelyn

2/20/2019 09:43:09 am

A basic of mixed feelings, sounds about right.

Brenna

2/20/2019 09:44:18 am

Agreed, I think you would be feeling a lot of emotions.

Connor

Some of the struggles would be learning the language of it was different, meeting new people, learning your way around, and getting a job. You would feel kind of alone like an outcast.

Brandon Westfall

You might encounter certain cultural differences and maybe a language barrier. You might be treated differently because of your nationality. You might also feel a little left out.

Nutt

2/20/2019 09:47:38 am

Languages can be a barrier at first but by involving yourself into the community I believe one can learn many common phrases and expressions that will help them at first.

Hailey Jo

2/20/2019 09:43:27 am

Some struggles could be language or just cultural norms. I feel like I’d be treated differently because as an immigrant you could be looked at differently. I’d feel a little out of place probably.

Nick

Same I agree.

James

2/20/2019 09:45:54 am

You would likely encounter language barriers. You might be nervous and you wouldn’t know anyone.

Connor

2/20/2019 09:48:00 am

Fascinating

Nick

4/22/2019 09:42:44 pm

I agree.

Robyn

2/20/2019 09:48:19 am

I think you would have trouble completing all of the correct paperwork, finding a job, and adjusting to language and culture in that country. People are typically rude to immigrants, thinking that they are somehow better them. You would probably feel like an outcast and probably lonely too.

Nick

Possibly learning a different language and adjusting to their culture. And other aspects like finding a job and friends.
