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 undeniable that people like migrants always face many difficulties when they settle in a foreign-language country. While I disagree that problems caused by lacking language skills are extremely serious and cannot be overcome.
Be unfamiliar with foreign languages surely makes live abroad harder. First of all, the cultural barrier is the most common problem that non-native speakers always meet. Different customs build up different language structures. For me, it is really hard to understand jokes or puns in other languages. Secondly, many learners only study academic vocabulary but not daily expression. As an economics student, I am more familiar with “hyperinflation” rather than “shaver. Also, individuals’ words may sound rude when they are not good at a language. For example, people may not know how to say “please” or other words that sound politely.
However, these difficulties won’t lead to big problems, unless migrants chat with people disrespectfully. Many language skills can be improved during daily life. People will mimic other behavior instinctive so it is not hard to learn how others speak. What’s more, individuals can always overcome these difficulties as long as they keep studying. Also, most native speakers will understand migrant’s situation and be more magnanimous to them. As a Chinese, I will praise my friend when she speaks Chinese not because she is good at it, but she like Chinese culture and want to learn about China.
From what I addressed before, I don’t think the problems that non-native speakers face are serious as long as they keep improving themselves.
