Living in a
country
 where a foreign
language
 is spoken can certainly present some challenges, both practical and social.
However
, I do not entirely agree with the statement that it causes serious problems. In my opinion, I believe there are many advantages to living in a multilingual society. On the social side, migrants who do not speak or understand the native
language
 fail to understand the local custom and culture which leads to social problems. They hardly talk to local people and have little idea about the cultural diversity of the
country
.
As a result
, they even fail to realise the rules and regulations and how people feel in certain circumstances.
On the other hand
, it is true that not being able to understand or speak the local
language
 can make everyday tasks more difficult,
such
 as grocery shopping, ordering when you are in a restaurant and asking for directions when you are lost.
However
, with the increasing popularity of translation apps and services, these challenges can be taken care of to some extent.
Moreover
, living in a foreign
country
also
 helps you learn a new
language
 very easily
due to
 having everyone around you speaking it. In conclusion, I approve that living in another
country
 and not knowing the local
language
 is sometimes troublesome, but they can be taken care of by the efforts of the locals and migrants and the use of technology.
