I say this with genuine sincerity, but you really should reconsider whether being a barrister is realistic in the U.K. or US (which does not have a barrister/solicitor distinction) with your level of English. You need to be very fluent in the language and your question shows me that you are probably not. You could invest in an English language course to improve.

I’m not sure about other countries, but I don’t see how your US/U.K. qualifications would allow you to practice law anywhere in the world as the law is usually different - I suppose it would depend on the country as to whether they recognise your current education. But this could be googled if you have a specific country in mind I’m sure.

I’m not going to point out the glaringly obvious. Any reasonable person can tell that OP doesn’t have a strong command over the English language. Or at least certainly not to the extent that would be expected and required from a barrister.

Presumably because your command of English is also pretty poor.
