I was an exchange student. I felt the difficulty of language. But, 3 months was enough to overcome it. It was a challenging time, but the way to cut off your fear is openness and communication. I don't care people sometimes laughed on my accent. Slowly they admit me as the part of their community. What a beautiful time in life.
I like the metaphor, great storytelling, indeed. I never realized homesickness so deep as this, so sad but enlightening; we are all geraniums whose roots must take time to grow... stronger!
I moved to Asia from Europe and although I do not have these exact same experiences, the feeling that you express is very very similar. This is not my home and it never will be.
I just move to US a few months ago and I feel the same, the hard part is the language, you think you speak English until you are in country with native speakers 😰
English is a very hard language, even native speakers have accents and dialects and argue about the right ways of speaking. Sometimes, there is even more than one right way to say something, and our idioms are a nightmare. I just realized that is a metaphor, it means that our idioms are like something that would be in a nightmare... So if a native speaker is upset that you have an accent, or are speaking a foreign language on the phone, or do not understand them, or use a word wrong, they are just being rude, do not mind them. 🙂

My dad is in the military so o move a lot, I was born in Arkansas I lived there for 2 years, then I moved to Japan for 3 years, then Germany for 4, then Belgium for 3 and now American again for 1 and I feel like I still know nothing about America. I am very homesick, very very homesick.
Tomorrow I have to move to work in a new city pretty far away from my hometown, just thinking about it make me sad and I scrolled down the youtube notification videos and accidentally found this.
There's a lot of people who don't get the chance to chase their passions into a place where the environment around them seems to alienate them and them only thing left is their work ethnic and family bribing them back home or taunting them for leaving. This was a story, then illustrated to translate something clearer to common people. Monochromatic scenery made the viewer relate to being isolated and only able to see black and white. Good video, hope in brings a lot of understanding to people strong with their own beliefs and endeavors to never give their success time and other things... ^w^
I'm moving soon from Asia to scandinavia in a few mths and I am so nervous 😟 I don't speak the language and it would be a whole new climate to me but for the sake of a better life, I have to be brave
Asotlover I know how you feel. Get ready to be taboo-ed, learning knew stuff that you don't really want to know, familiarize some new traditions I.e squatting, and most of all learning to quote yourself being short. Trust me I've been there😞
This delightfully imaginative animation really clarifies in simple language, the complexity & worries of studying in a foreign city to a new country. Born & bred in the U.K but I still understand how there was immediate culture shock for me, when I arrived at JFK then Lower East Side in Manhattan. The comparison between geranium & its roots was most clever.
This sounded over dramatic than what i feel for 2 month as a indonesian student in australia, idk if i have a better preparation by playing online video game in us server and practicing my english there that develop my accent to be a bit more southern murica, or its just me that never feel that i never felt attached to any nation or organization due to the discrimination because my race or being a rich kid or always being my teacher favorite. My point being i think its easier for me due to my disconnection and understanding of both side of coin both bad and good of the culture that im going to face. I dont know if this will help, but imo the best way to relieve homesickness is to feel never having one.
I'm homesick! This world is not my home... ▪Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we EAGERLY await a Savior (Jesus Christ) from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. ▪Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
The WHOLE problem is if you can't get back to your homeland. That means that your family or other people in your homeland cheated on you and want you far away. If you are a tourist and can get back anytime, this is just fun! It's like a door that closes behind you. If you have the key, NO PROBLEM …!!
Disgusting lies. This is the case of a rich girl who can get back to her homeland if she wants. If you are a poor refugee, you can't get back WHATEVER happens to you. LIARS. If you have options, you should not complain. Or if you feel you can't get back, then the problem is in your homeland and the people (family, etc.) that obliged you to stay abroad!
If that is the case... then I am a rich kid who can most definitely go back to my homeland if I want. I have been in Germany for 8 months now and her situation is just as valid as mine. She never claims to be a refugee in the video. Maybe if we tone down the assumptions, we could see that no matter where one is from and where one moves, culture shock, language difficulties, and homesickness are experienced. If you replaced Iran with any other country and remade the video, it would be the exact same narrative. But if this all boils down to her being from Iran, it's nonetheless ironic because your comment supports her claims about the attitudes towards her people. It's a shame really.
I moved from Tehran to US in the same year. I totally feel you..Sometimes it makes you wonder whether or not you did the right thing
I don't know how to like your comment a million times...
I keep asking myself "is the growth worth the sacrifice? Is it really worth this sharp pain that disturbs my sleep every night?"

Homesick for 5 years until now 😭😂
7 years in the USA and I'm still crying cause of the painful homesickness. I do not plan to live in the USA forever because of this.
you don't have to be on another country to feel homesick,but surely its much worse if you were=/
I'm a Colombian living in Munich ...it has been hard most with the language, this animation gave me lots of hope.
Yo tambien!!! pero vivo en sachsen anhalt
I like the metaphor, great storytelling, indeed. I never realized homesickness so deep as this, so sad but enlightening; we are all geraniums whose roots must take time to grow... stronger!
What a great observation! We're glad you found this short enlightening!

I moved to Asia from Europe and although I do not have these exact same experiences, the feeling that you express is very very similar. This is not my home and it never will be.
It makes me cry as I'm in similar situation😭😢
Does it get better?

Thank you so much for this video file
Thanks for watching and being a fan!
Thanks for the post, we all like this sometimes.
Thanks for this video. I'm in US and I can relate to that. 😑
I wish I had known about this beautiful metaphor earlier. Homesickness has failed my plans already.
Who's here before the 100,000 views
Me
Me.
I’ve been homesick before on a few occasions whether near or far. It’s both good and bad.
AWESOME!
Right?! We're so happy you loved the video!
Beautifully done :D
Absolutely! Thanks for watching 😁
loved this
Beautiful
Excellent 💙

I wonder if I gonna miss my shitty country if I move to US someday
Hi
i can see Illuminati logo
Idk what's up with people with homesickness I kinda love traveling lol
The WHOLE problem is if you can't get back to your homeland. That means that your family or other people in your homeland cheated on you and want you far away. If you are a tourist and can get back anytime, this is just fun! It's like a door that closes behind you. If you have the key, NO PROBLEM …!!
Travelling is voluntary. But some people move due to economic reasons and perhaps cant get back. So theyr family is split in half
Man up.
Seems funny she missed the repressive islamic iran.
🤔
