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
It is frequently argued that
people
 who do not know the country's
language
 where they are , have problems with society. In
this
 essay, I will explain why I strongly disagree with the statement and
then
 I will give some personal examples.
Firstly
, I believe that
people
 who are in a foreign country can learn the
language
 even if they do not speak at the beginning because there are online courses which teach you the basis for talking with someone.
Moreover
, nowadays, several
people
 speak English due to the fact that school provides English classes since the start of school period and for
this
 reason, if a person knows how to speak English he can go wherever he wants.
In addition
, today, thanks to technology it is possible to communicate with other
people
 using a mobile phone due to the fact that there are several apps where you can write in your native
language
 and
then
 it will translate in the
language
 chosen. In my experience, I have worked in Greece as a waiter for one summer and before leaving I did not know anything about Greek but during that period I have learned some words and
then
 I tried to say
also
 sentences
therefore
 if
people
 do not know the foreign
language
, they could improve their communication skills with time and practice. In conclusion, I believe that having social problems depends on personality and in my opinion, it is not a problem of
language
 but maybe a deep character of behaviour.
