Thẩm Tâm Vy, November 15th, 2018 PRACTISE LISTENING ADVANCED - LESSON 12 COURSE 11 PRACTISE LISTENING 12 – ADVANCED Muller: Natalie, you've lived abroad, right? Natalie: Yeah, yeah, I've lived in Italy. Muller: And when you went to Italy, how did you find it? Was it easy to integrate or more difficult than you thought it was gonna be? Natalie: Oh it was easy actually. Erm, I think once you learn the language then, erm, things just come naturally. And it took me a long time to learn the language but, erm, I don't think it's such a big issue that many people think it is. Muller: Do you think that many people think it's a big issue? Natalie: Yeah I think it's a lot easier than – than people, than most people think. Because it's maybe the fear of the unknown – people haven't tried it they think it will be more difficult. Muller: I think you're right, I think the more time you spend abroad, the easier you'll find integrating in to new places. But it's that first, first step the first time you go and do it, it seems quite daunting. Natalie: Definitely, but then you have ... I don't know less fun if you stay in your own country or you, erm I think it's quite safe staying in your own country too. Muller: Yeah I completely agree, I mean, we only get one life, right? So might as well see as much as you can. Natalie: Exactly, and there's nothing more interesting than getting to know other cultures and finding out about another language or – I mean, how did you find moving here? Muller: Erm, for me moving here was a lot easier than, for example when I moved to South Korea but, erm, obviously I needed to learn the – a new language in Korea, but al ... but also I think Canadian and British culture are a lot closer than Canadian and Korean culture are to each other. Natalie: Do you find that you're more adventurous, erm, in Britain than in Canada? Muller: Yes, I think once I'm at home I'm much more in a routine. Erm, but then again I'm only home for brief periods of time so I just go home and spend it with my family. Natalie: See the family, yeah. Muller: Whereas, if I was living there, maybe I would venture out and travel more in Canada. Natalie: Mm, but I think the more you, erm, explore a country, the more you find out about it and the more you learn I mean, for me it's, you can learn so much more living abroad from different people, and maybe you're more open too, I don't know.
