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 So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK This is simply not possible for most people, so being in home country is the only viable option The most important thing to in this situation is to maximise your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class 26 What is the article about?
