It is important to understand the hardships people face when they cannot communicate in their mother language or when they cannot establish communication with their peers. The causes may be some of the following:

Cause 1. Young people do not know that there may be other languages or necessary linguistic systems to communicate with classmates who speak a different language or need a special system to help them communicate (such as Braille or sign language).

Cause 2. Young people are not interested in learning other languages to talk with classmates who use a different language or linguistic system.

Cause 3. The inability to identify other languages as opportunities for communication in artistic expressions, to open a dialogue with cultural diversity or inclusion for people who use other linguistic systems.
