Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social problems, as Although I agree with that living in a foreign country may cause social problems, I do not think this would cause serious practical problems. These mainly happen at an early stage of the new life. Firstly, the language barrier can be a significant social problem. Generally, people may learn simple and common words before coming to a new country. Also, a variety of translation applications make it convenient to understand the basic vocabulary quickly. However, this is not always the case because translation can never perfectly match the meanings of different languages in some cases. Furthermore, even though some foreigners can speak a second language fluently, they may not understand the meanings of some expressions in a specific context. Therefore, foreigners could still have difficulty in understanding some authentic slangs and idioms. This would cause a barrier to communication. The second social problem can be a culture shock. This could lead to the confuses of foreigners on local customs, rules, and so on. For instance, British people are well-known for being polite to say "thank you" or "sorry" frequently. It is confusing for foreigners that they say sorry even though a door hits them. They will say thank you to the bus driver when getting off the bus. Thus, foreigners possibly make mistakes such as offending locals due to not knowing local social rules. In terms of practical issues, they are becoming minor because technology would solve this problem to some extent. For example, foreign newcomers may find the way to their destinations using the Google Map in their languages. Instead of asking locals for help, this may be time-saving. In conclusion, I partly agree that living outside your home country can lead to some social problems but without big practical issues.
