In this era of globalization, learning foreign languages is obviously very important. However the question is that we should learn a foreign language in our country or in the native country where it is spoken. Each way of learning has its own advantages.
Learning a foreign language in one's own country has the advantage in finance( I think it should be 'financial') matter. You don't have to spend time and money on traveling and staying at a foreign country.In addition, the most important thing is that you can have your teachers explain unknown words or phrases in your mother tongue, which is especially important at the early stage of learning a foreign language.
However, learning a foreign language in the country where it is spoken has incomparable advantages. First(firstly) you will have access to exact pronunciation and proper tone. Listening to exact pronunciation will help you correct yourself and will improve your listening and speaking ability. I know this well from my own experience. when I first learned English, I didn't pay much attention to pronunciation and(so) I had difficulty in listening,(and) I couldn't distinguish similarly pronounced words and I couldn't figure out the meaning.(this sentence seems too long)
Furthermore, when learning a foreign language, I think practicing continuously is the most important factor and only staying in the native country can give this chance of constant practice. When living in the native country, or in a country which the language is used as first language, one has no choice but using this language. He has to listen to news, advertisements on TV in foreign language. He has to use it in daily life.
To sum up, I prefer to learn a foreign language in the native country because it will give me opportunities to practice a lot, to correct my fault easily and naturally. So(therefore, I think we can't place 'so' at the beginning of a sentence) I think this is the better way of learning a foreign language. |
