In fact, not understanding what people are saying around them can cause them paranoia, and can often make them feel less than others. Moving to a new country, with a foreign language, makes it all very difficult. According to the Association for Psychological Science, it is a less difficult task to learn the language and culture of a new country when they are a child, or under the age of 15(Heine, Steven, 30 Nov. 2016.). Once they pass that age, it begins to become more difficult to adjust their mindset to learn the culture and language, when they were accustomed to something else throughout their childhood. Studies by researcher Christina Nunez show these people are easy victims of discrimination and children can be bullied, which makes them feel inferior. Their head spins when they are spoken to and has no clue what to say. It makes them nervous. To make matters worse, people who were one nurse, teachers, etc, in their countries leave everything behind, including their hard earned degree. Their degree is not valued in America, and according to research by Christina Nunez they often “find it frustrating that they can’t obtain the same jobs.”(Nunez, Christina,.

This situation is relative to real life instances of immigration, as those moving to America with the hopes of improving their own lives and the lives of their family members are, in some cases, unfamiliar with the English language. Therefore, they must somehow learn the ways of the new people surrounding them in order to be accepted in this environment and also be able to communicate with others so they can attempt to obtain jobs to support themselves and family. Understanding the same language clearly plays an important role in assimilating to new surroundings.

“Immigration” a controversial issue that argues two sides, the perspective of Americans and the reality of an immigrant. As a daughter of parents who migrated to the Unites States from El Salvador, I personally believe that immigrants are the correct side from what the Americans see or believe; however, just like anything else there will be two different sides; the good immigrants and the bad immigrants. For example, first, the US has immigrants with different types of crimes committed. Then, we have the issue of jobs with immigrants. Third, an additional issue is the cost of having immigrants that has many questions regarding the benefit. Last but not least, foreign language has been an accommodated at the United States and has been under

An immigrant that is coming to the United States has the emotion and perception that draws to a country of opportunities; that will live in a country that will be friendly.

Learning a new language seems to have only positive effects. However, for a Mexican American, accomplishing this goal brought him drawbacks in the interaction with his family. In his essay, ‘’Public and Private language,’’ Richard Rodriguez describes the difficulty in learning a new language and the sacrifice he makes to accomplish his goal. Richard Rodriguez shares the difficulty for older people, as they learn a new language; however, for younger generations is easier to learn a new language. Also, the new language creates a lack of communication for Richard Rodriguez.

The changing environments throughout the ages have caused the movement of thousands of families out of their homelands. Whether forced to make such decisions or doing so by their own desires, all immigrants have had to survive the physical and psychological challenges encountered along the way. To speak about the experiences of all these different people using the same ideas and examples would be quite inaccurate. They all, however, had to live through similar situations and deal with similar problems. Many of them succeeded and found the better future they were looking for. Many others found only hardship and experienced the destruction of their hopes and dreams. All of them were transformed.

The mediocre speakers are tasked with translation between their family and the rest of the world. They learn about handling adult responsibilities and protecting their families from the world's criticism before they even finish elementary school. These children learn that there is an unspoken dynamic of us and them, with their families being the underdogs. The world is pushing them to adapt to this new society. Their surroundings preach conformity to this new nation. All the while they try to maintain connection with their past world and rich culture. They endure torment from ignorant peers, are labeled terrible names, and constantly face underestimation from those who view non-native speakers as incompetent. This kind of environment feeds their insecurity and requires repeated effort to disprove the assumptions of others, but where most would give up their efforts, immigrant children persevere. They learn to use their environment to their advantage. For them, the media is now an interesting way to pick up on the language and slang the other kids use. With these newfound words and knowledge the children have more confidence to approach new people and attempt to make

Immigrating and living in a new environment are always difficult. Especially when someone has to speak an unfamiliar language most of the time since he or she arrives in the new country. However, because of the remarkable progress on diversity and communication, learning new languages becomes unnecessary to immigrants because they can live in the community with those who speak the same language with them. The public organization such as court or hospital also have interpreter service, so the immigrants aren’t confused when they face issues. Therefore, it looks like learning few new language are capable of handling their daily communication, such as buying groceries and ordering food.

Most of the diasporic people migrate to foreign countries to get a good position in the society, to develop their level of the economical social status and quest for job.

The difficulty of moving to a new culture is that a lot of people would feel fear because they are so use to their own culture, so now they leave what they are used to a new way and it will be hard for them to adapt. Some may like the new food and the pace of life, then later on in the month’s people may feel like the new life and culture is unpleasant life for instance: public hygiene, the language barriers, traffic safety, and food accessibility. Still the most part in relocating to a different culture is the communication because they might not understand the language or might say the wrong word thinking it means the same in the other countries. People adjusting to a new culture often feel lonely and homesick because they are not yet

Even though the transition to the new life is finished, return or stay are always a big and permanent question in the mind of immigrants. This idealistic idea remain even after realizing that the new place, now called home, is much better and offers more opportunities for the family. This analysis is sometimes necessary to clarify or re-estate new goals. Returning home after certain number of years, staying for extended periods or moving to a different city or country can be also a decision made by the employer. Evaluation of advantages or disadvantages, before deciding to move again in any situation, must take in account current the job position, income, costs of relocating, and personal, family and professional goals.
