Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best

method Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?

The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all

the time you are in the country You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go Another

advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people In your home country, it is always

possible, in the class, to speak your native language if you want to and the learning is slower.

On the other hand, there are also advantages of staying at home to study You don't have to make big

changes to your life As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to

achieve the results of living in the UK If you have a good teacher in your country, I think you can learn in a

more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school.
