Learning foreign languages is very necessary for people, especially nowadays. There are many ways how you can learn any foreign language. For example, you can do it abroad or in your home country. Some people consider that learning foreign languages in their home country is better. But I don’t agree with them. In my opinion, learning foreign languages abroad is better.

And now I will try to explain my point of view.  Firstly, I think that, if you learn English or any other foreign language abroad, you will learn it more quickly because you’ll live in the country where all people speak this foreign language. You’ll always hear them speaking and remember some words and try to imitate their pronunciation. Secondly, if you learn English abroad, you can get to know new countries, new people, make new foreign friends. As for me, it is very interesting and exciting. And thirdly, learning foreign languages abroad is easier and more effective because there you will speak with the people who don’t know your native language.

But there’s another point of view on this problem. Somebody prefers learning foreign languages in his home country. They consider that it is more dependable, and you don’t have to go anywhere. Maybe, these people are right, too. But I can’t support their point of view.

In conclusion, I would like to say that you can choose any way of learning foreign languages. But personally I prefer learning foreign languages abroad because in this way I can learn them more quickly, and, moreover, it is more interesting and easier to learn foreign language in a foreign country.
