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 Italy, it is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want
to and the learning is slower.
On the other hand, there are also advantages to stay 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 Italy, 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
here in Italy is the only viable option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to
maximize your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever
possible outside the class.
