Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.

It is a common belief that living in a foreign country where speaking its

language

is compulsory may bring various kinds of difficulties.

However

, I partly agree with

this

idea since it may first cause several issues in the short term, but in the long run, people would consider it as a tool to fit in an entirely new place. In the short term, constantly using a non-native

language

to communicate can cause

problems

for individuals who are not fluent in it. In

this

case, the lack of convenience would appear and it would perhaps become a disadvantage during their daily activities.

For example

, most foreign students find it difficult to fully understand a normal conversation

due to

the fact that they do not entirely comprehend the

language

itself,

therefore

, it may cause misunderstandings.

However

, in the long run, these

problems

would be diminished as continual exposure to a certain

language

would ultimately enhance the ability to use and understand it.

For instance

, a wide variety of foreign students and foreign workers who have spent years after years using a non-native

language

are eventually able to communicate with native speakers

while

completely understanding the context and the meaning of what they hear.

Hence

, in the long run, these

problems

would be diminished as continual exposure to a certain

language

would ultimately enhance the ability to use and understand it.

To sum up

,

while

using a foreign

language

to speak can bring several

problems

at

first,

it is evident that these issues would

finally

be eliminated

due to

continuous engagement in using a new

language

. For these reasons, I partly agree with the aforementioned point.
