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?

Moving to a new

country

can be quite challenging sometimes. Somehow, as the time goes by, most people will easily overcome the difficulties of learning foreign languages. I shall argue that those languages difficulties wouldn’t lead to some serious issues due to its advantages to develop each individual. Technology has made the practical issues more effectively and efficiently over the

last

several decades.

In other words

, the existence of technology nowadays solves many problems effortlessly. They have made it much easier to get information within a

second

. Take online translator

for example

, people who might not be able to speak and understand native

language

found

this

very convenient.

Therefore

, technology helps to mitigate

this

issue while it makes conversation enjoyable and prevent misunderstanding. Most of the 70% of the world population has at least a working knowledge of English. But in fact, English is not spoken widely in some

country

such

as Russia, Japan or China.

However

, learning foreign

language

also

means having the ability to gain new skills and can be beneficial. In China,

for example

, when we go to the market, it’s much easier to bargain using Chinese rather than speaking the international

language

such

as English.

Therefore

, learning foreign

language

in related

country

is actually easier. Beside that, if we hear a new

language

regularly, our brain will automatically pick it up. Every

country

or several specific places have it's own culture. People’s ability to learn new languages

also

enhance their knowledge, to learn new cultures because somehow

language

is complexly intertwined with culture.

For instance

, in some countries, especially in Indonesia, adolescent have to speak politely using the proper words to the elders. Since childhood, we have been taught by our parents and teacher to show respect. Through

language

,

this

behaviour makes people or immigrant able to integrate well. To conclude, many people believe that they can’t face the

language

barrier;

however

, in my opinion, not mastering the native

language

won’t be a big deal and haven’t provoked any serious social issues because I believe with the help of technology it’s making our lives easier, and most people can adapt to the new environment.
