First opinion says that learning English in country with native English people is the best. Second opinion claims that you can learn English well not only in English-speaking countries. It is really very interesting question for learners. On one side we understand that learning English for example in the UK or the USA means full immersion in language atmosphere and learners have any possibilities to take all knowledge especially in speaking and listening. We understand that in the countries you will have many partners in speaking and many partners to listen to right English accent. On the other hand such an approach has many negative sides like problems with living in non-native country, spending much money, nostalgia about family and old friends left on the motherland, problems with adaptation with new food and climate and so on. Learning English in own country has many advantages connected with comfort of own country. You have no problems with living , everything is usual , no problems with any changes in your life, so you feel comfortable and you don’t spend your own nervous system. You save your money compared with abroad learning. Farther I can say only about negative sides of learning English in non-English-speaking countries. Learning in own country you don’t have such fantastic possibilities like abroad. You have huge problems to find right teacher or partner to improve your speaking. You don’t have full power or full motivation to force yourself to learn English because you are in very comfortable conditions at home. From my point of view it is unreally to calculate all pros and cons of the different methods of learning English. Every person should choose own way to do it. Personally for me I prefer to learn English abroad in English-speaking country because nevertheless many difficulties of such a method you will take the most important things as right accent and fluency in short time. So I think that the most fast and qualitative way to learn English is to learn English in English-speaking country. But I believe that with high level of motivation it is really to learn English in own country.
