Language is oftenused as a form of discrimination. Some people, let's be honest, some people will just never adapt because they don't feel that they need to. They think it's not that difficult. And i'm not going to adapt. I think there're some specific people that we may never be able to convince of this. But maybe they like to discriminate. Maybe they are some people just don't like foreigners. There could be many other reasons underneath that language is oftenused for discrimination. If people can't understand you, they can't understand your message. So instead of being a tool to communicate, language becomes a barrier to communication.
