Try it out.

Now to the next stage, the acceptance stage.

What do you think happens in the acceptance stage of culture shock?

Yes of course acceptance means you start to like some of the customs and practices of the new culture you also begin to accept some of the ways people act.

You know maybe the people stopped to talk with their neighbors every day and you learn to like that tradition. What else can we say about the acceptance stage?

Well you also begin to feel more comfortable because you can speak the language better and do things like talk to neighbors or explain an illness to a doctor.
