Is it easier to learn English if you live in the UK? Can you improve your English without any effort in no time if you are living in the UK as a second language learner? Well, I’m going to tell you my experience. I was studying English full time last year for four months in the UK. I have to admit it was a great improvement for my English in any way. First of all, you are being taught accurate English every day, any mistake of your English will be corrected by your teachers. Secondly, you can take your time to talk to your teachers and mates at school as they all understand it’s your second language. Last but not least, you have got the atmosphere of learning English to achieve your targets like get the certificate or pass the exam. I have been living in the UK with my British husband nearly three months this year without going to school. I do always self-study English at home, but my English seems staying at the same level. Native speakers always speak in their own way without looking after you when you are talking with them. You get lost frequently when everyone speaks fast and random. People don’t even talk much to someone who is not interesting not to mention to a foreign English learner, what they want is a quick chat and laugh but not practicing English with you. I know it is not a pleasant thing to listen to an English learner to speak or repeat what you’ve said. For this reason, I hardly manage to talk to many people in depth apart from saying “Hello." :( Moreover, you are always being lazy to learn anything when you’re self-studying, aren’t you? Especially when you can’t see any improvement in a short time, what you get is frustrating. In a nutshell, going to language school for learning English is much more efficient than self-studying.
