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?

In the twenty

first

century, everyone understands “the earth was flattened” meaning which tells anyone can go anywhere they want once they have an enough motivation to leave their comfort zone and explore, as well as an ability or talent that they earn money to live somewhere else now. Following that, expedites struggle due to having the communication problems they face after moving to another nation speaks a foreign language. Thereby, some critical situation might arise because of lacking enough skill to communicate. So, here I want to discuss about what kind of common problems cause when you need to live in a different country when their mother tongue is not English.

First

of all, everybody agrees that living abroad without knowing their native tongue, but only English, causes a plenty of uncomfortableness to the foreigners at the beginning. Among them, the most frequently happened situation are the misunderstanding. It usually occurs when we need to involve and communicate to the public,

such

as shopping in stores, or ordering a meal in the restaurant, especially the counterpart has not enough ability to understand the common language, English.

For instance

, assuming that you have an allergy to some specific food ingredients, in

this

case, you want to order a meal in the local restaurant, but a waitress does not speak or even understand what you asked for. Because of that you cannot communicate with the locals, it is tough to choose what you have lunch for today. If it happens all the time, it makes you get crazy. Even though, it seems quite annoying, it will not be always worse. From the optimistic point of view, once the foreigners start to get used to all the diversities in another culture, those are not counted as problems. In spite of that, there are a variety of privileges foreigners can get from the society, or local. Especially, one who try to express their needs or feelings throughout the local’s mother tongue deserves huge positive treatment that you cannot be treated easily when you live in your own country, from the publics. Having an advantage like

this

makes the Outlander’s life much comfortable and pleasant. For summarizing what I have pointed above, communicating and living in a foreign country might require enough patience from the one who is considered as a foreigner at the beginning, but it can be turned to be the precious privilege to them.
