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?

#country #language
Living in a
country
 where you have to speak an incompatible
language
 can be problematic. It can lead to social and other problems. Before moving to any
country
 one should master the
language
 spoken there. When it comes to social problems, one can'
t
 easily interact with the people in the specific
country
. Interactions can be of different types.
For example
; if you live in
such
 a
country
, day to day life becomes difficult, as it involves many activities like going to your place of job, restaurants, shops and banks. In
such
 places you definitely interact with people, and if they don'
t
 get what you are saying
then
 it really becomes a serious social and practical problem, as
lack
Suggestion
the lack
 of meaningful and
succesful
having succeeded or being marked by a favorable outcome
successful
 interactions can make you anti-social kind of, which makes living in a specific
country
 difficult. It is like listening to music only, without understanding the lyrics,
heck even
Accept comma addition
heck, even
 good music won'
t
 taste good. I believe before moving to any
country
, you should learn the main
language
 spoken in the specific
country
 (where you want to shift).
This
 can reduce social or other practical problems emanating from not having command over the main
language
 spoken there.
Language
 coaching classes can be of big help. In a nutshell, I believe if a person doesn'
t
 have much command over a foreign
language
 which is mostly spoken in a specific
country
,
then
 it will definitely lead to serious social and practical problems, so I agree!
