USA +++ UK +++ Zach moves abroad +++ Absolutely Intercultural 316+++

 

Welcome to Absolutely Intercultural show number 316. My name’s Anne Fox and this show is coming to you from Denmark. In the last few weeks I began to see lots of videos by Zach Lincoln, an American who is moving to Europe. Why would he move to Europe?

One of the things that struck me about Zach’s videos is that he is very good at noticing cultural differences.

Zach has by now produced many videos about his family’s experiences in the UK and Spain. I put two of them on here and you can surely find the rest by searching for Zach Moves Abroad.

So for the rest of the show let’s go absolutely observant and meet Zach Lincoln.

Absolutely observant
Huge thanks to Zach for agreeing to talk with me and you can find many more of his videos on Facebook, Tiktok and Instagram by just searching for Zach moves abroad. If you have moved to the UK would you have picked the same topics as Zach or something entirely different? We’d love to hear if you have moved countries or continents. How did you cope with the cultural differences? If you have a story to tell on this or any related topic then don’t hesitate to get in touch or leave a comment on our website at absolutely dash intercultural dot com where you can also listen to all our previous shows.

Don’t forget that we are also on  Apple podcasts and Spotify where you can give us a rating. And if you enjoyed the show, please like us on Facebook too. 

Our next show will be coming to you on the third of April.

Until then, stay tuned!

Thanks to Katie Stewart who contacted us about an interesting initiative she had heard of and which means that for the first time on Absolutely Intercultural we’ll be hearing about make-up and how that differs across cultures.

And we’ll also be going to China to find out more about the universal social monitoring that you read so much about.

absolutely intercultural 18 +++ The BOBs +++ UK & NATO +++ schooling & worklife balance +++

You will hear about The BOBs, the GO OUT campaign and what British schools and the army have in common.

Absolutely Fantastic: The support you gave us for The BOBs was absolutely fantastic and thank you to everybody who voted, commented and listened. We came third in the user prize category and that is solely down to your votes. Add your comments here or send us a mail or audio message to let us know how we can be number one next year.

Absolutely Mobile: Laurent and Karsten from the Fachhochschule Koblenz, Germany, give you some background information on the “GO OUT” campaign initiated by the German Academic Exchange Service, DAAD. During this week students can prepare themselves for a semester abroad, both, at a partner university or in a company.

Absolutely Personal: The show concentrates on two individuals who both went to work for a period in the UK.

First we hear from Dane, Tommy Søholm, who went for three years working for NATO in the UK. Life was not as regimented as you might think for Tommy the soldier, but on the other hand even his youngest child was drafted into the disciplined ranks of the British schooling system much to everybody’s surprise in the family.

Then we hear from Yogesh Bang, a software engineer based in India who has been posted abroad for short periods on assignment several times now. Hear what he has to say about the work life balance and the concern shown to him by his landlady in the UK as he went off for a weekend in Chester.

The next show will be coming to you from Germany on the 1st of December.

Until then…stay tuned!
