Adaptation is the first and basic stage after a sudden change of environment, in which a person adapts to a new situation. The speed of completing this path depends on internal flexibility and willingness to learn. And literally everything has to be learned: even simple actions can turn into complex tasks that require much more time, emotional and intellectual stress. Oksana Korzun’s book “How to move to another country and not die of homesickness” describes four phases of the adaptation process: Tourist - one feels delight, euphoria, everything new gives dopamine. Disappointment - problems and difficulties begin, negativity, apathy. Recovery – dealing with problems, conclusions, light at the end of the tunnel. Biculturalism is a full-fledged feeling of being part of society. You need to understand that you won’t be able to move straight to the last phase, but you can reduce the time you spend in each of them.
