We understand sometimes it is difficult and confusing when you first arrive and our families understand this to, but they will always help and advise you, so please do not be afraid to ask!

1) RELIGION Koreans are primarily Christians; however people can practise their religions freely.

2) EQUALITY In Korea women and men are equal; you speak to a woman with the same respect as you would to a man. In Korea men and women do the same tasks, cleaning of the house, washing of dishes, clothes etc... are shared among the members of the family including a little help from yourself maybe!

3) RESPECT Korean can be humorous, friendly, easy going people and believe in respect for each other, it is considered polite to say “Gamsahabnida(Thank you)” when asking for or receiving anything. Please remember to greet your Homestay hosts eg: Annyeonghaseyo(Hello), Aannyeonghi gaseyo(Goodbye), Annyeonghi jumuseyo(Good Night).

4) MEALS You will receive 2 meals a day from your host, breakfast and dinner with the family.

5) LAUNDRY Your host family will wash all your dirty laundry for you, just ask where you must put your laundry to be washed.
