Compare the advantages and disadvantages of three of the following ways of learning a foreign language. State which you consider to be the most effective. studying on your own taking lessons with a private tutor taking lessons as part of a class taking lessons online going to live in a country where the language is spoken

Nowadays, knowledge of foreign languages is one of the basic necessary skills and we have a lot of opportunities to learn and improve it.

For instance

, we can do

this

on our own, especially given the vast array of educational resources, but in

this

case there is a disadvantage in the long learning period and the lack of feedback from the real person. We can

also

study with the tutor remotely and be more confident in the material, but

this

way

is more expensive than the

first

option and its effectiveness depends on the teacher. From my point of view, another option is the fastest and most efficient, but

also

the most stressful and difficult, is to go live in the country with native speakers. One of the most popular options to learn languages is to move to a country with a suitable linguistic environment and it is a very common in Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, European and many other countries. On the one hand,

this

is an incredibly valuable experience, but

on the other hand

, according to their requirements, the student must have a sufficiently high current level of knowledge of the

language

, so it does not approach beginners. According to the student reviews,

this

is a very fast and professional development of skills, but

also

very expensive. Another popular method of learning is to find a native tutor and study remotely. There are some difficulties, because it is not always easy - ideally, it should not just be a native speaker of the

language

, but

also

an experienced lecturer who is able to train a foreigner.

This

is

also

a very positive option, but it’s more intensive, and you can spend a lot of

time

looking for a teacher.

This

route is

also

very popular in many countries,

such

as Japan, where there is a special JET program aimed at attracting English

language

teachers from other countries.

Finally

, as a basic and universally accessible

way

of learning the

language

, it is possible to learn the

language

independently. It’s

also

a very common opportunity nowadays, because we have a lot of mobile applications and textbooks and programs that focus on classroom-free learning. There are many benefits in

this

way

,

such

as saving money, the flexible system, because you are not dependent on anyone else, but at the same

time

it usually takes more

time

and the ability to organize your own education regularly. In conclusion, I would like to stress that the best

way

to combine all these methods into a single package is to be in a real

language

environment, but at the same

time

study independently and try to find a private teacher. Looking towards the future, it is no doubt a given, that in alignment with the current course, in the near future new and more accessible programs and options for learning foreign languages will appear.
