Living in a foreign country, where you have to speak a foreign language can cause a lot of social problems as well as practical problems To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Globalization has seen many people migrating from their country of origin to other countries, where they are unable to speak the local lingua . Some believe that

this

language barrier can pose a lot of issues from both the practical and social points of view.

This

essay will discuss why I completely agree with

this

opinion. The high rate of immigration and emigration nowadays means that a lot of people currently reside in places they are not originally from; and with most countries having different languages, it is extremely possible for one not to understand the words spoken.

This

inability to communicate can constitute a significant number of problems. On one hand, a person is unable to make friends easily. Difficulty in speaking would hinder bonding and make friend-making difficult. The inability coupled with the distance between family and friends would lead to isolation, and loneliness and ultimately lead to depression. At the same time, another trouble is the inability to use social amenities.

For example

Lastly

,

this

language barrier can ultimately lead to dangerous situations.

For instance

, when a crime is committed, and because most people tend to mistrust an outsider, an immigrant might be lynched, hailed or even killed before they are able to defend themselves. In conclusion, diversity among the nations of the world includes diversity in languages and a person who resides in a county would definitely face an area of challenges both practically and socially.
