Xenoglossophobia is
the abnormal and persistent fear of foreign languages. This phobia is common and affects Americans
more than anyone else. Those who suffer from Xenoglossophobia become upset and
anxious when they are confronted with a language they don’t understand.
A phobia is a strong,
persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons. The main symptom is an excessive and
unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Other phobia symptoms include
shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall
feeling of dread. Phobias are the most
common form of anxiety disorders.
