What should I better use "going to" or "will" in this German sentence?
Hi to everyone,
I'm learning some English at this time. I've got a German sentence: "Ich werde eine Menge Englisch von meinem Aufenthalt (= stay) in London lernen."

I translated this sentence in this way: "I’ll learn a lot of English from my stay in London."
My teachter said I should translate this sentence in that way: "I'm going to learn a lot of English from my stay in London."

What exactly is the difference between the meanings of this two sentences? What in detail is the difference of using "going to" and "will"?

I thank you.

Answer

They are the same and interchangeable. "Going to" sounds more natural and less stilted, but both are correct.
