Few questions ?

What is the use of foreign of studies ?

Language is not a big problem nowadays. Though the learning curve is steep, as long as we have interest in learning a new language we will find it interesting.

I think by staying for a week in a foreign city any one can learn the language.

This is no problem. I lived in Kolkata, Shillong, Tezpur, Srinagar and Udhampur (J & K). I do not know Bangla, Khasi, Assamese, Kashmiri and Dogri languages.

Yes Fathima, one can live without knowing the language as because their are other options available through which one can communicate....it would be a bit of problem but for every problem there is a solution....:)

You need not learn local language for short stay. It may be ncessary only if you permanently settle at a place.

Most of the communication problems can be solved using Sign language. I managed in Pondycherry without knowing Tamil. I managed to buy vegetables, visit Malls without any problem

 

One can survive in any place. One should learn a few key words in local language for the first few numerical and for come, give, take, go and glife gets going. Nowadays English words are also getting universally adopted.

That is why I support adopting Roman script as well as English technical terms for all languages. Khasi language is written in Roman script. That is why I could pick up some Khasi phrases while in Shillong.  

 

i think it is not a big problem for anybody now a day because now a day with the help of internet anyone can translate any language into his own language
