Migration has become a common phenomenon as the world is being globalized day by day.
Migration refers to shift from one country to another. This shifting makes the migrants learn the
new language and cope with the new environment. Life in a new country is very difficult as the
migrants have to face many barriers and problems in the new country. Without knowing the
language of the host country, it becomes more difficult for the migrants to adapt to the host
country’s culture. People from different countries are also migrated to Bangladesh. This paper
looks at how learning the language of Bangladesh influences foreign students’ adaptation to the
culture of Bangladesh. 30 foreign students were interviewed to collect data for this research. The
researcher used a questionnaire with 14 open ended questions for the foreign students. A mixed
method of data analysis comprising both qualitative and quantitative methods has been followed
for analysis. The findings of this study show that learning Bangla language is one of the initial
ways to adapt to the Bangladeshi culture. This paper will serve as a model for any foreign
student in Bangladesh who is trying to adapt to Bangladeshi culture. Moreover, the study can be
replicated in foreign student context of other countries.
