It is common for immigrants to adapt their religious practices and symbols to align with the dominant religion of their new country. This may include modifying traditional rituals or adopting new religious practices altogether. The image of every religious symbol will represent how nobody needs to change their beliefs to fit in with the majority. You should carry your religious practices and traditions with you no matter where you live and who you are surrounded by. This is not a privilege, it is a right, Freedom of religion or belief.

This image represents how residential schools assimilated First Nations. This one image demonstrates how their culture was stripped from them and were forced to be people they weren’t. The left side of the photo illustrates a young boy representing First Nations traditions and culture by wearing his hair long, bree cloth, and feathers. However, the right side is the same boy but looks incredibly more European. His clothes are not a part of his real culture, his symbolic hair is cut, and his dignity and individuality are gone. Putting this image in the box will visually demonstrate how much of an impact assimilating the First Nations had on victims and how it continues to have an intergenerational effect.

A birth certificate will demonstrate how immigrants should keep their birth names. Names are a reflection of your culture, family, and personal to you. Sometimes immigrants change their names to make them more accepted or easier to pronounce in the new culture. This minimizes differences that could lead to exclusion or discrimination. Nonetheless, changing your birth name is not the answer.

Modern communication technologies and increasingly faster modes of travel have nearly eliminated geographical barriers between people. Perhaps because of this, we have become more aware of other barriers that make it difficult to discover fascinating new places, customs, and tastes, work with colleagues from different countries, and make friends online, among other things.

We're talking, of course, about language barriers, which are more common than many people realize because they exist in several different forms. In this article, we explain what the language barriers are and provide several helpful tips on how to overcome language barrier in both professional and personal life.

Most Common Types of Language Barriers

When most people hear the term "language barrier," they immediately imagine speakers from two different countries trying to negotiate a price or discuss the directions to the nearest hotel. In reality, this is just one of many language barriers in communication (also called linguistic barriers) that speakers from countries around the world run into every single day.

Here's a brief overview of some of the most common language barriers:

Proficiency: When someone who doesn't understand a certain language well is trying to communicate with someone who understands it perfectly, we say that there's a language barrier in proficiency between them. While it may seem that this type of linguistic barrier is by far the most common, that's actually not the case, especially in the workplace.

Technical: The term technical language barrier is used to describe a situation when a gap in technical knowledge prevents two or more people from efficiently communicating with one another. Technical linguistic barriers go hand in hand with the use of professional jargon by experienced workers, which newcomers and outsiders typically struggle to understand.

Cultural: The world is a big place, and what seems completely normal to people from one culture may seem strange or even bizarre to people from a different culture. For example, English speakers find it perfectly normal to use the same greeting (such as "Hi") in both informal and formal situations, while the speakers of Japanese have a very complex system of greetings, which takes into account several shades of formality.

Physical: Some language barrier problems are created by physical impediments, such as hearing loss or stuttering. Such conditions can affect both the ability to convey a message as well as the ability to understand what's being said.

As you can see, overcoming language barriers requires a multipronged approach that takes into account the fact that not all speakers have the same barriers to overcome. In the next section of this article, we provide multiple tips that you can implement in your daily routine to break all the above-described language barriers with minimal effort.

How to Overcome Language Barriers?

All language barriers in the workplace or everyday life are challenging, but overcoming them is entirely possible if you select the right approach and adopt a problem-solving mentality. Here are some tips that you can start implementing in your daily routine right now.

1. Improve Your Proficiency with Targeted Practice

If you find it difficult to communicate with speakers of a particular language, then the best thing you can do is actively practice in your spare time to improve your vocabulary and grammar. These days, there's no need to enroll in an expensive class where you would receive only a small fraction of the teacher's attention because you can practice from the comfort of your own home with the help of a language learning website or mobile app like Encore!!!.

Encore!!! offers a highly effective approach to learning that revolves around targeted repetition. Thanks to this approach, learners can reach intermediate fluency in just 38 weeks, depending on how difficult their target language is, of course.

Encore!!! works on iOS and Android devices, and the free version comes with 12 language pairs and text-based content. The paid version adds full audio content, customizable playlists, and the My Entries function, which is perfect for learning technical jargon and overcoming language barriers caused by it.

2. Introduce Cultural Context to Language Learning

When learning a foreign language, it's easy to become overly focused on vocabulary and grammar. However, there's much more to reaching native-like proficiency than memorizing long lists of words and doing grammar exercises. You also need to understand the cultural differences between your mother tongue and your target language, a common language barrier for immigrants and casual travelers alike.

Arguably the most effective way to introduce cultural context to language learning is to move to a country where the target language is spoken, but that's not something many learners can do. Fortunately, movies, books, music, language learning podcasts, and online friends can be a great alternative, one that delivers not only excellent results but is also very cost-effective.

3. Use Other Methods of Communication

When dealing with linguistic barriers, you should always keep in mind that words are not the only method of communication that you have at your disposal. You can also convey meaning with your hands, facial expressions, or various visual aids, which are especially helpful when explaining complicated concepts to an audience that doesn't understand your language as well as you do.

If you're not afraid of modern technology, then you can also use a real-time translator app such as Google Translate to be your own personal interpreter. Some companies are even selling translating earbuds that allow you to understand languages that are foreign to you.

4. Use Simple Language

It doesn't matter if you're trying to communicate something highly technical to someone who has limited to no experience in your field, or you're exploring a foreign country and need advice from the locals, it always helps to express yourself using plain words and sentences.

By omitting all jargon terms and bookish words, you eliminate opportunities for miscommunication and increase the chance that the person you're communicating with will immediately understand you. Breaking the language barrier by keeping things simple also helps avoid many unfortunate cultural misunderstandings associated with the inappropriate use of idioms and politically charged terms.

5. Don't Be Afraid to Make Mistakes

So far, we've provided multiple language barrier examples and four tips on how you can overcome them. Truth be told, most barriers can be overcome simply by trying and not being afraid to make mistakes.

Always remember that around 40 percent of the world's population speaks only their mother tongue, so even if your knowledge of your target language is still at a basic level, you're linguistically better equipped than about 3 billion people, and that's something. So, don't be afraid to make mistakes and be ready to laugh when you make a particularly silly one.

Conclusion

There are many language barriers in communication that speakers of all languages can run into when discussing work-related issues, talking with friends, or exploring distant places. The good news is that all it takes to overcome them is the right mindset paired with an effective approach that revolves around targeted practice using an app like Encore!!!.

"Ending assimilation means recognizing that diversity is not a problem to be solved but a strength to be celebrated." - Linda Chavez-Thompson

This quote said by Linda Chavez-Thompson is vital to have in my museum box. This quote will make the message of my box clear, that a multicultural country can be unified. There is beauty in diversity and importance in your heritage, assimilation is never the answer.

This video will educate my audience on what assimilation really is. The box contains many examples of assimilation but, this video will provide the audience with the knowledge that assimilation does not always happen voluntarily or naturally but groups are forced to assimilate. After this video the audience can reflect on their actions, why cultural groups are assimilated and what they can do to end assimilation in their community.
