You may even want to write them down to be open with yourself and to have a record for later.<\/p><p>What does homestay mean for you? What do you expect and want from the experience \u2013 and from the people who will play a large role in it? How much nurturing do you need?<\/p><p>It\u2019s essential to consider what you can do for your host and not simply remain preoccupied with what the host can do for you.<\/p><p>When you are in North America, as you encounter problems you can return to your expectations and consider their part in any disappointments. Maybe your expectations were unreasonable. Maybe you have not tried hard enough to achieve your goals.<\/p><p><b>Some misconceptions that are common:<\/b><\/p><ul><li>North America is glamorous\u00a0and everyone is rich \u2013 just like in Hollywood movies.\u00a0<i>In fact, you will\u00a0probably be living an ordinary life with a family that is neither rich nor\u00a0poor. It probably, for example, won\u2019t have a maid to look after your\u00a0needs.<\/i><\/li><li>North America families are all white and headed by a mother and father.\u00a0<i>In fact, North America is\u00a0quite multicultural and as we\u2019ve said the nature of families is quite\u00a0varied.<\/i><\/li><li>The family will dote on you,\u00a0with the mother devoting much of her day to making your life easier.\u00a0<i>In\u00a0fact, family members will cherish their time with you but they have their\u00a0own lives to lead.<\/i><\/li><li>The homestay will be like a hotel.\u00a0<i>In fact, you will have your own room but likely be sharing all\u00a0the other facilities.<\/i><\/li><li>Meals will be like a restaurant.\u00a0You will have a large breakfast with a convenient choice; several options\u00a0for lunch; and a full-course dinner, with soup and dessert.\u00a0<i>In fact,\u00a0meals tend to be hurried and often quite casual.<\/i><\/li><li>You will be the only\u00a0homestay student in the household.\u00a0<i>In fact, often more than one student\u00a0will be living with the family. That may be an advantage, as it gives you\u00a0somebody with whom to share your experience.<\/i><\/li><li>The homestay is a convenient\u00a0spot to wait while you search for another place to stay.\u00a0<i>In fact, that\u00a0is highly unfair to the homestay family who could have taken another\u00a0student for the full term. It also cheats yourself, because homestay is an\u00a0important part of the experience of learning a new language and culture.<\/i><\/li><\/ul><p>Some students think that after homestay they will be able to speak English like a native. English is a very complex language and speaking it well takes considerable time. But rest assured, you will improve your English dramatically.<\/p><p>By keeping your expectations reasonable \u2013 and clear \u2013 you will better enjoy the homestay experience.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a525c32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a525c32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-780f1db elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-section elementor-inner-section\" data-id=\"780f1db\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa40541 elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column\" data-id=\"fa40541\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap  elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fa3d89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1fa3d89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"768\" height=\"1100\" src=\"http:\/\/homestayguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/american-1334633_1280-768x1100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/homestayguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/american-1334633_1280-768x1100.jpg 768w, http:\/\/homestayguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/american-1334633_1280-105x150.jpg 105w, http:\/\/homestayguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/american-1334633_1280-210x300.jpg 210w, http:\/\/homestayguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/american-1334633_1280-715x1024.jpg 715w, http:\/\/homestayguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/american-1334633_1280-830x1188.jpg 830w, http:\/\/homestayguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/american-1334633_1280-230x329.jpg 230w, http:\/\/homestayguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/american-1334633_1280-350x501.jpg 350w, http:\/\/homestayguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/american-1334633_1280-480x687.jpg 480w, http:\/\/homestayguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/american-1334633_1280.jpg 894w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b53ff31 elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column\" data-id=\"b53ff31\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap  elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-369153a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"369153a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Meals<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75567f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"75567f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p>Most homestay hosts provide breakfast and dinner.

The food will be very different from what you are accustomed to and the manner of eating will probably be as well.<\/p><p>During the school\/work week, breakfasts are informal, as everybody quickly eats something before rushing out the door.

Most likely, you will prepare your own lunch.<\/p><p>Dinner will be more like what you are accustomed to, in the sense that everybody tries to eat together and a parent usually cooks.
