The following contents are about Korean youngsters ’ behavior at a various situations. Please guide them with understanding as parents when you face these attitudes and behavior. In Korea, it is disrespectful to look straight in the eyes when young people talk to the elders. This is true especially when the children have done something wrong, and are being instructed, they either look down or look elsewhere. When children look straight into the eyes of the elders or teachers when they are in trouble, it is consider to be very rude. Not talking much during the meal has been a long tradition in Korea. Do not think it strange but ask simple questions. Also, making some noise when eating means the food is delicious. When people are invited to someone’s house for dinner, making sounds when eating shows their gratitude. (Also many kinds of food in Korea are hot, spicy and has much broth. Therefore it is hard not to make any sounds.) Korean students do not ask the elders to pass things around. Therefore, they tend to pick or grab things without asking during the meal. Please explain the proper way for them to understand. It is common to eat pizza, hamburgers, spaghetti, etc nowadays, but not as often as Korean food. If you ask the students how they like the food, some of them would answer as “Tastes bad, So so, O.K.” Please do not be offended when you get these responses. They are quite straight forward when answering, and also they lack the expression to describe the tastes at times. In Korea, most people do not like to show the inside of the bathroom to others. Therefore, the parents always tell the children to close the bathroom door. In English, for the question ‘Aren’t you hungry?’, people answer ‘No, I am not’, when they are not hungry. However students who are not fluent may answer as, ‘Yes, I am not hungry’ or just ‘Yes.’ Yes means that agree with your question. In this case please ask and make sure you get the correct answer. Explain them the differences and tell them, no matter what the question is, Yes means yes, No means no. In Korea, students show their friendship with the same gender by holding hands, putting their hands on friend’s shoulders, arm in arm, etc. This does not mean they have any sexual intentions. They feel the closeness through body contacts. This also applies for mother to son or daughter. Some fathers even take a bath with their daughters to feel close as a family. Explain to the students that Americans or Canadians have a private boundary and do not like to be touched any time, anywhere.
