Some people think that you can never become fluent in a language unless you have spent time living or working in that country. To what extent do you agree ?

Language

is an integral part of human communication and it is one

such

skill which can be learned through practice only. It is argued by many people that staying in a

country

is mandatory if one wants to speak its regional

language

fluently. I do not agree with

this

statement and consider that living abroad can make the

language

learning

process

faster and easier;

however

, there are many other ways to become a proficient in any foreign

language

. People who live in a foreign

country

eventually start speaking its local

language

because they develop

this

habit while interacting with local residents. A human mind grabs the

language

quickly if he is surrounded by people who always speak the common

language

.

For instance

, kids start speaking the same

language

which is spoken by their parents. They learn to communicate in their mother tongue, just by listening to their parents, without having any formal training.

Thus

, it is true that living in a foreign

country

can make the

process

of learning the

language

faster and simpler.

On the other hand

, staying in a foreign land is not the only way to become fluent in a

language

. There are many other factors which play a major role in

this

learning

process

. To state one, people can learn the

language

by reading books or watching movies and regional shows. They might find it hard in the starting to understand the movie dialogues, but slowly and gradually people start enjoying it.

For example

, many Indians whose primary

language

is Hindi and have never visited any foreign

country

can still speak the English

language

fluently. In conclusion, living in a foreign

country

make the

language

learning

process

smoother.

However

, proficiency can be gained by reading books and watching movies, too.
