This article explores the difficulties faced, perceptions held, and suggestions offered by non-native learners of globally prevalent languages like English, Mandarin, Spanish, and Arabic. Through a comprehensive literature review, common threads are identified regarding linguistic barriers, motivational factors, optimal teaching methodologies, and sociocultural considerations.
