Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons from your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

People who live in foreign countries face problems daily
due to
the fact that not every native person of the country speaks
English
.
However
, I think that these obstacles are not that severe and individuals can use technologies to avoid them. On the one hand, the most common
language
to speak abroad is
English
. It is considered an international
language
so the majority knows it.
However
, there is still a percentage of people who can not speak
this
language
. Specifically in not
English
-speaking countries
such
as the United Kingdom or the United States of America. The lack of knowledge in the
English
language
of the population in some countries can lead not native individuals to problems with explanation and understanding of others.
On the other hand
, there are a lot of opportunities to avoid problems in communication. Technologies are developing fast nowadays and the evolution of apps with translation features is
also
taking place in it.
For example
, the app market provides different varieties of translators. New ones have a live translation feature that can help people to communicate with each other. So it is becoming much easier to conduct and deliver thoughts. It can be very beneficial if the interlocutor does not know
English
or the person does not speak
original

language
of the country where they are at the moment.
To conclude
, there is a possibility to have a problem
while
living in another country, especially if the interlocutor does not speak
English
, but they are not hard to solve with the help of technologies and apps that can translate different languages.
