0 1 Ask your age at the first meeting and learn English as a child. It is not clear whether we have had this experience. The English teacher said not to ask foreigners' ages, because it would be offensive to ask them. But in Korea, when we meet for the first time, we will ask each other's age. Because South Korea has strict rules and regulations on respecting the elderly, it can only be determined whether to speak in a plain, semi-verbal or respectful way after mentioning the age, so you can ask the age when you meet Korean students for the first time.
In addition, South Korea's age optimization algorithm is different from ours. For Koreans, pregnant mothers have their own age when they give birth to their children, and they are born to be one year old. After 65438+ 10 month 1 every year, they will add another year. When introducing each other's ages in detail at the freshman meeting, the difference between China students born in the same year and Korean students is two years. China students say 18 years old, and Korean students say 20 years old.
Shake hands with one hand to show respect. In China, "giving with both hands" means the dominant position and self-esteem of the other party, but in South Korea, one hand means respecting the meaning of the other party, especially when waving. Koreans wave with their left and right hands under their right elbows to show their respect for each other. When you meet a teacher, you don't have to wave nervously, which is impolite to Koreans.
You can't eat with a bowl. Koreans have many dining manners, and eating without a bowl is one of them. Koreans have been taught since childhood that they can't eat with bowls. First, the metal bowls commonly used in Korea have good thermal conductivity and are very easy to burn. Second, Koreans believe that only beggars can eat with bowls.
There are many soups and rice in Korea. Even if it is troublesome to drink a spoonful of soup, Koreans will never end up with a bowl of soup. You can observe it when eating in Korean restaurants or canteens.
Red packets and white packets are both red packets when encountering major events in China. Red symbolizes prosperity, but in Korea, ivory is the color of celebration. Because bright red and blood are the same color, it means bad luck in Korea. If you go to the wedding reception of Korean students, remember to wrap the wedding gift in a white bag.
Korean wedding gift culture and art are different from everyone else, and it needs to show a kind of friendship, regardless of the amount of money. Generally, 50,000 won (about 300 RMB) is enough for followers, and 654.38+ 10,000 RMB (about 600 RMB) can be given to people who are particularly close.
In addition, China and South Korea have many different cultural customs, but as students with strong adaptability, they can quickly integrate into the new environment when they arrive in Korea. Don't worry about living in Korea. You ate well and slept well last year. But it is interesting to observe the cultural conflicts in this life carefully. That's all.
