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?

Living in a foreign
country
to earn a better livelihood and in search of better opportunities has been the new trend in the world. One of the biggest challenges that the people face in
this
process is

barrier. I strongly agree with
this
because for some main reasons .
To begin
with , shifting to a new state can create lots of social and cultural problems for the migrant ,the most prominent reason for
this
is the
language
.
For instance
, if a
person
doesn't know the local
language
of a
country
,and he wants to buy something , he can not communicate his thoughts to another
person
, leading to a practical problem for him .
Secondly
, he can not participate in the
day
to
day
activities and give his / her thoughts .
For example
, I remember visiting Paris and I had no knowledge of the French
language
,
as a result
, I was not able to communicate with anyone ,and felt left out and lonely .
Furthermore
, he can not dwell with the local dwellers unless the problem of
language
is solved.
In addition
, a recent survey by the Times of India group tells , that the companies tend to give promotions to only those who are fluent in the local
language
and inhabitants of the
country
. Some might say that with the evolution in the technology and introduction of translating apps it is more convenient for people , but on ,

a
person
can not use translating apps for its

conversation.
For instance
, a
person
talking to other and using a translator could be very absurd for another 
person
. In summary, living in a
country
with no knowledge of the local
language
is not only a big disadvantage but
also
unpractical. It could lead to mental stress and financial crisis.
