Learning English in native-speaking environment is an optimal approach but there are variety of other good options. This assay will agree with statement. In the beginning I will describe the advantages of studying in an English-speaking country and then will discuss other possible solutions.

Learning a language living in a country, where everybody speak this language is very beneficial. Learners listen this language always being in the street, visiting shops and cafes, thus your language skills are acquired in a passive way in addition to learning in a class. All people around are your teachers. Also when you live in another country, you become more aware about the culture and the national character, what may be useful for planning of your future career, when English language related to your learning goals.

But if one doesn’t have a chance of studying English in an English-Speaking country there are plenty of other ways. Modern technologies allow to communicate easily with native-English speakers, while you remain in a comfort of your home. Learning English with a tutor from your country may be easier for understanding grammatic rules which is extremely important for beginners. On the other hand it is sometimes difficult to find enough-qualified tutor in a home-county for advanced learners.

All in all living an English-speaking country and learning of its language at the same time is the most winning solution, but this is not a single viable option and you can be successful also staying at home if your circumstances are not allowing you to go abroad.
