Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social problems, as well as practical problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Residing in a country where one has to communicate in a foreign

language

comes with some challenges. Because of the need to speak

language, often

there can be some practical, as well as social problems. I strongly agree with

assertion and

To begin

, due to the necessity of conversation in a non native

, there may be some serious problems with socialization.

Furthermore

, practical problems can be experienced; it may be difficult to secure some appointment, as jobs,

such

as, public relation officer (PRO), where one has to speak mainly local

, will not be available to foreigners. A good

is the stiff competition for

In addition

, education can pose some challenges. As teaching is done in the foreign

language

, most students will find it difficult to comprehend.

although

living in a foreign country comes with some benefits, there can

be some serious problems socially and practically. I strongly opine that

is usually the case. Government,
