Learning a foreign

language

apart from your mother tongue and the common

language

in your home country is very important in today's competitive world. For some people it may be necessary for studying abroad or communicating for business purposes. I will be discussing some methods commonly used. Trying to learn a new

language

on your own is a good way of studying as it has its own advantages. The cost incurred in

this

method is cheap as compared to other methods because most of the content is available for free on the internet. One can easily grasp knowledge from the variety of the most accessible.

On the other hand

, the vast information may confuse the receiver as there may me conflicting views on the same subject and

this

is the biggest disadvantage in

this

method. Another way of learning a

language

is taking up classes which are common and preferred options. It allows a physical involvement of other native speaker with whom we can read, write and speak in a foreign

language

.

This

will increase the speed of understanding the

language

as a mistake can be rectified on the spot. Thought it's preferred method there are some drawbacks.

Firstly

, it is expensive compared to self-learning.

Secondly

, apart from a few hours of classes there is no much left to learn new when you are back home. One way of learning is enrolled for online classes. Its relatively less expensive and more convenient

then

conjunction used in comparatives

than

physical classes. Direct interaction with teachers improves the

language

skills and the best part is you can record the lecture for future references. There is a minor setback as its a bit time consuming and there is only one person to interact with. To conclude, I would prefer most effective would be online classes as its a combination of the

first

two methods.
