My first time of writing an italki notebook. I just started italki a few days ago. So I don't still understand the system yet. But I'm trying to write a notebook to get my English corrected. I'm studying English to speak fluently. I want to be able to speak English like native English speakers do. When i was a junior high school student, I started to learn English at school. But it wasn't practical English. Only reading and writing. So when I communicate with people in English face-to-face, I can't speak any English. So I started learning practical English a year ago. It's so difficult. But I'm doing my best.

Studying abroad to improve language skill

A lot of my friends study abroad to improve their language skill. 

I also want to improve my English so that I can live abroad someday.

But studying abroad needs a huge money. And there will be a lot of anxiety, for example homestay, the difference of culture and so on.

Besides, I have to put off the graduation from the colledge if I study abroad.

I mean studying abroad has a lot of lisks.(Of course it has a lot of merits, too)

 

So I want to discuss  "Do we have to study abroad to speak a foreign language fluently?"

 

Now that, we have a lot of tools to study foreign languages, for exampe books, app, youtube, online like italki and so on.

I think even in my original country, I will be able to speak foreign languages well.

What dou you think?
