#country #language
A nation where they speak foreign dialects may result in bad interaction and practical issues why living there. I agree because languages are very important in our daily routine and these problems will be explained in depth during the course of
this
 essay.
Firstly
, living in a place with a speaking barrier is a big challenge in terms of communication. It will be difficult to buy and sell even, having a relationship like making friends with the neighbours which could lead to loneliness.
However
, some folks find it easy to use Google Translate with their daily activities and learn the language later as they mingle together.
In addition
, schooling in
such
 places will be difficult since most of the lectures will be taught in their dialect. For, example when I went to Brazil to write my professional exam,I could not speak Portuguese and they do not understand English. From the airport to my hotel was a real issue because I have to hire a translator that understood both English and Portuguese languages. I could not make friends, just indoors throughout my stay in Brazil.
As a result
 of
this
, I did not really enjoy my visit except to write my exam and leave.
To sum up
, living in a country with no interaction can lead to many problems for an individual since language plays a vital role in communication in schools, the market and the community at large.
