It is extremely difficult to settle in a different country, leaving behind our homeland for various reasons
such
 as for employment, education, or marriage.
However
,
this
 can be taken as an opportunity to experience their culture and rituals. There is an argument that
language
 acts as a barrier in social relationships and one would face serious issues, both socially and practically. I disagree with
this
 statement.
This
 essay will throw light on some of the points which support my opinion.
Firstly
, staying in a nation apart from where we came from, can help a person grow in many ways because of his exposure to the novel lifestyle, civilization, traditions, values and much more. It ignites the creative brains inside us which can come handy in our work. We live in the 21st century, where the mother tongue we speak no longer holds a prime importance in making connections. We came a very long way from those ancient times where
language
 was a hurdle. English is considered to be a global
language
. Mostly everyone on
this
 Earth speak in
this
 dialect. So, making prominent friends and colleagues is not a serious issue for youngsters migrating to a divergent country.
For example
, most of my relatives are settled either in the United states or in Australia owing to their job.
Secondly
, even if some people have problems in speaking the local
language
, they can use some instruments like the ‘Google translator’ which tells us the meaning of all sentences and can
also
 translate our sentences to the native people. The evolution of technology has solved almost all the major problems we face in our day to day life. In conclusion, I would say that communication is not an obstruction anymore if we settle well in our place.
On the other hand
, we
also
 have equipments that handle
this
 difficulty
