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
Communicating in a foreign
language
 will be difficult for many people and may lead to some community problems. Others
also
 have some trouble at practical problems. In my opinion, I totally agree with
this
 issue and
this
 essay will be discussed about those problems. On the one hand, there are several problems that affect directly to the social.
To begin
 with,
language
 barrier would be a serious thing because many tourists or people, who come from the other countries, are not able to learn the
language
 of the country they want to go or travel to. It will lead to the difficulties in communicating with the native speaker.
Besides
, if we know English the most common
language
 in the world, we can communicate more easily, but it will be misunderstood in some situation.
For example
, people will not understand each other in some situations due to English not the
language
 the use often, but it is the best way to help people talk to each other without learning too many languages.
On the other hand
,
language
 barrier prevents the people in finding the tourist attraction or some famous place in that city and they will have a lot of difficulty in shopping, due to not understanding the information on the product’s packaging.
Then
 some tourists who have less experience, are unaware of the actual values of the item, so the seller will put up for sales higher than the real price that they sell to the native speaker.
For instance
, there is a case that a couple of foreigners go to the street market to buy a hat which they had to pay about 8 USD, but the actual fact that its price just 2 USD. To sum up, from my personal experience people should educate themselves in order to know to behave in different situations with different cultures and need to learn the most common
language
 in the world to communicate easier.
