Interact – Get Active!
Posted on March 30th, 2007 by adminWe want you to get more active with InternationalStudent.com!
What does this mean? Well this means we want you to participate more in our site and in what we do, and the reason we want you to do this is because we can all learn from each other. If we all share our experiences with each other about how you found a school abroad, how you funded your studies, problems you are having, etc… we can all learn about how things are done and make things easier for all!
So how can you participate – a few ways are:
1 – Comment on our blogs
We now have a number of blogs across our sites covering a huge range of international student topics such as:
– Study in the USA Blog
– Study Abroad Blog
– International Financial Aid Blog
– International Calling Card Blog
– International Student Insurance Blog
– and of course this blog!
We like using blogs because they provide fresh content on a number of topics, plus it allows you to comment on them. So if you see something that you like, post a comment. If you see something you don’t like or don’t agree with, post a comment. Or if you can add something to the post such as more information or your own experience then post a comment!
Its easy to do and will help us all!
Plus – if you feel you would like to be a blog writer for our site – let us know!
2 – Be an active forum member
Our international student forums are a fantastic resource for all students. They cover a huge range of topics and there are some really good post about financial aid, immigration, studying in the USA, and just general talk!

Firstly please allow me to apologise for being off topic, but I have a problem I hope you can help me with. I am preparing a Chinese language course, with the view of teaching people Mandarin and the Romanisation of the Mandarin language, Pinyin. The problem I have is that I would really like to give the people studying a real feel for the Chinese culture but without taking up too much of their time. Would you have any suggestions how this may be achieved? I’d like to thank you in advance for any light you may be able to shed on this.

Be Conscious of Your Language Choices: Avoid slang, because it is culturally-specific and therefore not shared across different cultures around the world. Therefore, what you think is a casual term might cause someone from another culture great confusion or even embarrassment. An additional factor here is that online international students generally learn formal English and are not familiar with more casual terminology.
