Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social as well as practical problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Many individuals are migrating abroad for different reasons
such
as study. Residing abroad where you have to converse in a foreign language
other than one
's native tongue can bring social as well as everyday challenges. This
essay would argue why residing in a foreign country can cause social and practical challenges.
To begin
with, the main challenge is the communication barrier. If a person is unable to effectively interact with the local residents, this
can make one
feel isolated. This
is because relationships require communication and this
can be challenging especially when one
does not have a strong command of the language
spoken. This
situation can make one
feel unwelcomed in one
's community. In some instances, this
could lead to depression and disconnection from society. Many people may argue that one
should learn a foreign language
but this
is not an easy situation because learning a language
can be very difficult.
In addition
, when living in a country there are occasions in your everyday life when using the language
is unavoidable. For example
, in cities like Korea, where bus stops are written in Korea. Therefore
, if you are a foreigner, it could be difficult to know where to highlight. It is comparatively true when one
goes to the market for grocery shopping.
In conclusion, I agree that the language
barrier can cause social and practical challenges. It is impossible for one
to form relationships with the locals without the interaction in their language
. However
, language
affects daily activities when you live in another country.Submitted by chidinmaezeudu on
