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

It is said that people who live abroad in countries where they must speak in a

language

other than their mother tongue might encounter severe issues in their social life.

While

there are individuals who de-emphasize

this

problem, I absolutely agree with the former group. The most essential tool to start a life in a new society is undoubtedly the

language

. It means that you would barely survive if you couldn’t speak in your country of destination’s

language

. As it is the pivotal means of communication, a lack of verbal ability would lead to loneliness and serious psychological problems.

For example

, any migrants who enter a new country have to address a variety of issues like getting accommodation, finding a job and dealing with many documents which would be a daunting challenge without

language

skills.

This

inability may cause a vicious cycle of feelings of incompetency, depression and social detachment which may lead to an immigration failure. Finding a career is a vital part of any immigration plan. As communicating with others is an essential feature of any job,

language

proficiency is a must. Lack of skills in

this

matter would make it difficult to find suitable work for any individual even if he is pretty skilled in his field.

Moreover

, Unemployment means financial incapability which can add enormous pressure on every newcomer.

For instance

, statistics show that the rate of unemployment is significantly higher among foreigners in most countries around the world.

This

in turn could lead to serious psychosocial troubles for any immigrants.
