Difference between "emigrate" and "immigrate" I checked my dictionary for this two verbs as below: "emigrate"- If you emigrate, you leave your own country to live in another country. "immigrate"-If someone immigrates to a particular country, they come to live or work in that country, after leaving the country where they were born. that means: "emigrate" is to move abroad saying from the stand of your own country, and "immigrate" is to come into a new country and change residency saying from the stand of that new country to live. Is my understanding right? Thanks a lot!
