Many people have learned a foreign language in their own country; others have learned a foreign language in the country in which it is spoken.  Which is better? Give the advantages of each and support your viewpoint.

Learning is continuously developing skill. People have the will to learn, gain new knowledge, and to communicate with each other. Language is one of the main tools to be connected with local or foreign societies.  As a result, one should learn foreign language to have a good communication with foreign nations. In addition, in academic world, there is a need to unify the scientific language. Nowadays, many universities require certain level in English for example, as a formal language which is used in research all over the world.   This leads people to learn many foreign languages. Some people find that it is better to travel abroad and take a foreign language from its roots.  Although, other people don't mind to learn a foreign language in their own countries. Each of these two ways has its own advantages.

For those who see it is more useful to learn a foreign language in the country in which it is spoken, there are many advantages. Firstly, they can practice twenty-four-seven with native speakers. It is a big chance to master the right accent, pronunciation, and to be fluent. Secondly, they will be able to recognize the civilization background for that country. In spite of the fact that they master the sense of that language, they will not learn the formality of it, the grammar rules and good sentences structure of that language. Instead they will get many of slang which may weak the learning quality of this language. This is the only drawback of having a language from its origin.

The other people who want to learn a foreign language while they are in their own country. They have many reasons. Firstly, they may not have the chance to travel abroad or they are tightly related with their own country. Hence, travel to learn a language may be a difficult choice. Moreover, they want to learn the formal language itself to communicate with formal writing or speaking. They can bear the weakness of fluency of their speaking and work on improving it, instead of using slag language which is the fatal problem of learning a foreign language from non-natives. The accent may be incorrect or the accent itself may be weak. Besides, they couldn't do practice this foreign language all the time in their daily deals.

For me, I believe it is better to get a foreign language from its native. Thus, I prefer to travel for the country in which this foreign language is spoken. But I recommend to take it in more academical way I can take many courses in that country by natives to master the language.

Although nobody here seems to have writing problems, maybe this suggestion would be useful for someone. I use it when my mind is in a stuck but I want to write something.
Well, take two or three different things and make an story with its. That's all. For example, a cow (from the earth) a dragonfly (from the air) the envy (feeling), role the dice of your mind and draft a story with.

Hello everyone in the group!

Hi Javier! I am also a learner of English, not a student though... I noticed that commenting others blogs and replying on comments helped me a lot. I have been here, on MyEC, only for 2 months and already feel the difference. Besides, I don't mind us helping each other.

Hello everyone. I'm Javier this is my third year studying this language,  I'm from Spain. I don't know why I like to write in English but I like it, specially in a creative way. I don't know if this is a place to share and correct writings or only to share ideas about writing skills, or maybe both. Could anyone help me?

2010 IS 10 hour more to go as a Qatar time , and will gone for ever what ever we get in this year even good or bad ,successful or faild ,piece or ware ,we are welcome the 2011 with hope to have better world economy and piece in politics and happienes for all people around the entire world .

 2010 was very hard for all business and none business companies and people ,there are many companies lost there business and stop working , and other face so many problem of paying back the worker salary or to keep the work moving because the banks stop send the money as the agreement ,and the banks also had the same problem so many people get too mach loons or credit and no one have enough money to pay the bank back.

 To know more about the reason why world economy had the most problem ever had since 1940 like what i read and hear , because there are many people lost thier jobs and other lost piece withen thier family and life and other lost thier power as  companies or managament .

Most of the people said the main problem coming or start from the US economy or US banks or US economic plans or from faild one of the power ful and world wide company ,that is because all the world companies look at the US as aleader and they felow all news and want to be part with US companies ,to feel safe and also to be in sector from any problem ,they belive that american sestem is so enteligent and he is belive me.and does not leave any thing by chance because US study the business very good ,and make the perfict rulles to keep the business keep moving, successfull, keeping growing from small idea to be the world wide company , so if any problem touch the main or the mother company in US naturlic all company around the world has something to do with this company will suffer from the same problem .

 I think i am traing to find out or to be close to give the idea how start and fall the economy in the all world in the last three year .and i hope ,praying to allah to be held and success and to grow great bussenss strong economic plan to have all people back to there jobs all companies are stop working to be back to business again with all there worker and safe so many family life..

2010 is almost gone for ever , i hope every one had adream in the last year to have it in the new years done, also to all my friend who had any kind of problem in the last year i wish them happy life with all success  ..

 

BEST WISHES
