Yes we all know there are thousands upon thousands of language barriers that keep people from maintaining an understanding of another culture. Let's see, you can blame a barrier on your ethnic background, which is unfortunately a huge reason why there are language barriers. A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING and the lack to make an effort. I just read an article in the Journal of Communicative Education that brought into play our ethnicities and our upbringings as the key reason for there being language barriers. It's like saying money is the root of all evil!
Come on! Seriously? My opinion is, laziness on many occassions is the language barrier. People are too lazy to conscously make an effort and an active interest in learning and hearing and this causes a barrier. Tone of speech, rate of speech, style of speech, these are physiological reasons for there being language barriers. Then there is technology. Environment...and the list can just go on.
