#country #language
It is often believed that living in a nation where we have to speak that foreign
language
 can lead to serious social troubles
such
 as practical problems as well. Personally, I totally agree with
this
 idea for a range of reasons, which could be outlined in
this
 essay.
To begin

 leads them to fail in understanding the local custom and culture which is the social problems. They talk to local dwellers hardly and have a limited idea about the cultural diversity of the
country
.
As a result
, they could not get on well with the strange social troubles here. The influx of emigrants in America and many European nations,

Moreover
, not knowing the native

 makes it harder for emig

Therefore
, not knowing causes many practical problems. In conclusion, before migrating to a

, people should make their best effort to learn the
language
 most people in
this
country
 talk about and understand to avoid cruel social unrest and practical problems.
