Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious problems, as well as practical problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement ?

#country #language
There is an opinion asserting that residing in a foreign country in which you have to speak

 in order to communicate with people can bring about a considerable number of issues including social issues.
Although
 I agree with
this
 point, I believe that in some cases it does not hold true. On the one hand, living abroad may pose challenges for non-native speakers. To put it differently, when people live in an environment in which they have to communicate with locals with that country's

, it is highly likely to cause some difficulties for them and in some cases they even would lose some opportunities. For the purpose of illustration, in many underdeveloped

 would not offer free education or health care to non-native people. Another example of
such
 challenges is that according to a survey which had been conducted for approximately 2 years, in many instances recruiters employ native people due largely to the fact that they are better able to communicate with the people of the community.
On the other hand
, these days modern technologies bring people closer to each other and
language
 differences in a society will not be a serious issue. To put it another way, state-of-the-art technologies have aided people to communicate with one another. Take

this
 end in view, nowadays people can easily establish communication with foreign people due to advances in science as well as technologies. To conclude, It is my firm conviction that
although
 in some cases communicating in a

 may result in social and practical challenges, in other instances It is no longer a serious issue.
