What does «barreras lingüísticas» mean in Spanish?
- Language barriers" is a figurative phrase used primarily to refer to language barriers to communication, i.e., the communication difficulties experienced by individuals or groups speaking different languages or even dialects in some cases. Typically, little communication occurs unless one or both parties learn a new language, which requires an investment of much time and effort. People traveling abroad often encounter a language barrier. People arriving in a new country in adulthood, when language learning is a cumbersome process, may have particular difficulty "overcoming the language barrier." Similar difficulties occur in multinational meetings, where interpretation services can be costly, difficult to obtain and error-prone.
