a cultural barrier that a foreign resident needs to understand,

essay will demonstrate why a language barrier could be problematic, and

, committing mistakes is absolutely comprehensible,

then

, a citizen born and raised in a country should not be judgemental about a clear mistake or misunderstanding. In conclusion, I agree that a foreign vocabulary could cause problems for some individuals living abroad, especially in some heavy religious countries.

Although
