Welcome to the forums.

Is this a question about the nature of communication or about your sentence?

I would like to see that - it is an inverted sentence.

I'd say it depends on culture. In Asia, for example, a common barrier is the fear of making mistakes; however, for native English speakers, a common frustration factor is not being able to communicate wants and needs quickly and easily.

Soup, I would agree. And an interesting insight for me into Asian culture. But in respect of the initial posting, I would argue that barriers can be labelled as 'education', 'generation' and 'geographical'. Please give me your thoughts.
