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?

There is no doubt that, while travelling, multi-lingual individuals enjoy an easier life. It is often believed that spending time with a different-tongued nation, is usually stressful. I truly agree with
this
and will discuss why in the following essay.
To begin
with, it is undeniable that living in a non-spoken foreign language country is a struggle.
This
is because it is often difficult to communicate and interact with other people.
In other words
, forming basic relations, friends ,
for instance
, might be impossible. As a consequence, I think loneliness and depression are often predicted.
Furthermore
, a person, I strongly believe, may face some daily practical problems. From as simple as ordering food,
for example
, to riding public transport, like using a taxi. The reason for
this
is the issues accompanied by harder communication.
Also
, it is my belief that those who can not speak the local language, will not be accepted among others.
This
happens because it is awkward to use an interpreter or a smartphone application when talking to someone. To illustrate, using Google Translation software in a middle of a conversation would feel strange. If a person,
for example
, became a relatively fluent speaker, he would get better relationships and could enjoy an easier daily activity.
Consequently
, a more genuine and welcoming feeling. To conclude, I wholeheartedly agree that not speaking the same tongue is a dilemma to be faced. Difficulties in connecting and the awkward results are, in my thought, the main reasons for
such
a problem.
