There are those who argue that being in a foreign land with little knowledge of the language spoken there can pose a challenge to an individual, leading to possible repercussions in social and practical applications. I stand firm and completely agree with this statement.
Living in another country requires strenuous preparation before one can settle comfortably. This includes, but is not limited to, studying the country’s language and culture. One cannot simply immigrate to a country without having a background of where they are headed. Integration into a new country can be properly achieved when an individual has familiarized themselves with how society functions. Being unable to do so can lead to dilemmas with serious sanctions such as deportation. For instance, Japan puts great importance on culture and societal behavior, and being unable to comply with these standards can make one seem uneducated and disliked by its people.
Additionally, language barriers are a common problem many foreigners face when transferring to another nation. Having little knowledge of the spoken language can lead to countless limitations in communication. This does not apply solely to professional situations where work is involved, but even activities that require basic communication skills could become taxing when uninformed and unfamiliar. For example, if someone who speaks Korean engages in conversation using their native language in an English-speaking country, it would be considered strange, and both parties would end up not understanding each other.
In conclusion, language is only one factor that comes into play. Without proper preparations and having a general idea of the place one is moving to, problems will keep popping up left and right. It is important to be informed and familiar with their language as it will be the key to the full immersion of a person into any society.
