research about intercultural communication

Uncategorized — mokhyun on June 12, 2006 at 10:25 am

in the last year we had a research with several friends about misunderstanding about intercultural communication. one of the conversation style is a voice tone. Most foreigners answer that they get annoyed when Korean women put on a whining voice for their boyfriends. we are so surprised this result, because we didn’t know that we put on a whining voice. Especially, Canadian doesn’t like this tone (8person of 9 person) By this result, we can know that Korean woman are full of charm and it makes foreigners upset, especially single foreigners. Also most foreigners answer they thought people are about to fight when hear voices being raised. On the hand, they are not told calm down by Koreans when they raise their voice, we can know that Korean talk more loudly than foreigners. We should speak more quietly, especially in the transportation, because foreigners make misunderstanding that Koreans are fighting and they are very rude.
