Living in a a country where you have to speak foreign Language can cause serious social. problems, as well as practical problems. To What extent do you agree or dis agrees

Staying abroad for long where you have to speak its native

language

can cause detrimental communication issues. I totally agree with the statement

due to

the social and practical problems that a

language

gap can contribute

To begin

with, in spite of the fact that

English

is an accredited international

language

standard, some societies just don't speak it.

This

phenomenon happened mostly in developing countries in Asia and Africa. To give an example, my friend testified how struggling it was to connect with the locals

while

he was studying abroad in Japan. It turned out that only one out of ten Japanese has

English

-speaking capability and,

hence

, causing a serious communication problem.

Additionally

, most public facilities' signages, place directories, and even food menu books are written only in the local

language

,

thus

, becoming a pain point to do daily activities.

This

will get even worse if the native characters are not in alphabetical form like Thailand's, China's, or even Hong Kong's writings.

For instance

, I was forced to depend on Google Translate to barely understand MRT's signs when I visited Bangkok

last

year. Have been experiencing the obstacle myself, I couldn't imagine how hard it would be for foreigners living in Bangkok. Despite the fact that living in a country where you have to speak a foreign

language

can cause serious social and practical issues, people might overcome

this

by learning and using the

language

itself to help themselves. Learning from my friend's example living in Japan, he

also

attempted to make friends with other immigrants who speak

English

to stay sociable. To add, technological advancements in translation providers

also

play a significant role in

this

matter. In conclusion, I am firmly convinced that the

language

gap causes detrimental effects on immigrants. The reasons for the same are the fact that the majority of the locals don't speak

English

and essential signages are written in native characters. To close, I believe that it will be undeniably desirable if all nations apply

English

as their secondary

language

to minimize the effect of the

language

gap.
