Question

Ivana spoke about the loss of her sense of humor when she came to the United States because of the difficulty translating her quips and funny comments from Russian into English. Ivana's story illustrates the _________________ faced by people who come from other countries.

Answer 1

Answer:    Language barriers

Explanation:  People from different countries can learn English and understand the daily communication needed to function normally. However, when it comes to expressions, slang and phrases that are characteristic of English, as well as any other language, it is necessary to get into the spirit of the language, i.e. to know something more than the language. It implies a way of life, a tradition, a slang that even varies from country to country within the English speaking area. In other words, more time should be spent in a country where English is spoken so that people can start joking in English and understand slang and use it.
