ABOUT THIS VIDEO
In this video, I talk about studying abroad and whether it can help you improve your English. I speak from my own experience of studying Spanish in Argentina, but I also share lots of information that my students have shared with me over the years.
To begin, studying abroad costs THOUSANDS of dollars, so it's a big investment. Many people spend this money because they think studying abroad will make them fluent. I used to believe the same thing.
Then I learned that fluency doesn't come from a classroom. It comes when you immerse yourself in a language and communicate with other people frequently.
Unfortunately, the "school" part of a study abroad trip is very similar to what you can already experience in your home country. And, while classes can help with your writing, grammar, & vocabulary, they rarely help with your speaking and confidence.
So, if you are planning to study abroad and you want to make the most of your trip... this is what you need to do:
1. immerse yourself in the culture
2. surround yourself with native speakers
3. speak as much as possible
4. work on your confidence & mindset
Studying abroad can be an amazing experience, but it's better to go with the right expectations. And, if your goal is to improve your spoken English, it might even be better to apply for an internship or volunteer position.
Just remember that studying English in an English speaking country is not the solution to your problems with fluency. Many people believe it's the only way to get fluent, but it's not. I know lots of people who speak phenomenal English and never went to an English-speaking country.
