Yes, I fully agree with the statement that "Studying the English language in an English-speaking country is the best but not the only way to learn language".

In the modern world now, most people communicate with outlanders using English as it is the most used language out there and most people at least know how to speak English a little. Of course, when you are born in an English-speaking country and is raised there till grown up, you have already been trained for speaking English since you are a baby, so it will be much more easier for them to adapt and learn, as babies usually take the informations they have gathered from their daily lifes back into their living habits quite easily, so they will be able to develop a correct English accent and apply it to their life. When they are growing older, they can also strengthen their use of the language by daily conversations, so it will be the best way to learn English. These advantage will also apply to outlanders who immagrated to English-speaking countries, and it will help them to furthur improve their ability to use Englsih properly.

However, for those who live in other languages speaking countries, there are still different ways to learn English, both for young and elderlys, and it is not a must to go to an English-speaking country to study for it, as the costs will be really high. One way is to train them when they are young. As mentioned above, babies can absorb information more effectively than adults, so it will be the best and easiest for children to learn the language starting when they are young. For example, I am from a Cantonese speaking country, but I have been learning English since I was 4 from different teachers in my school years. Since I am from Hong Kong and it is quite a developed country, English can been seen everywhere for the ease of outlanders and so I can get information from the outside world to strengthen my language skills. There are also lots of tututions which help improves your English, so it is not bad to learn English outside an English-speaking country, as I myself think I have the ability to talk and communicate to outlanders using English fluently.

The other way is to learn from the internet. Now in this modern world, everything can be find from the internet and it benefits us a lot. If you are an outlander but did not learn English when you were younger, you can easily find YouTube videos that teaches you simple usage and pronounciations, or even websites that teaches you one to one. These types of learning are not only efficient, but also are a lot less costly compared to having to go to an English-speaking country and study the language there.

Apart from the two ways mentioned above, ther are still lots of ways to learn English, such as reading books, learning from locals etc. So to conclude, I fully agree to the statement that studying the English language in an English-speaking country is the best but not the only way to learn language.
