Everyone has his or her own ways to learn a foreign language. Some people want to study in class; another people want to learn outside of class. While others want to combine them. I belong to the group of people who want to study outside of class. I have several reasons to support my argument.
First, I have a chance to learn a new language. In today's world, it's important to be bilingual or even multilingual. International communication is very important for our global economy. For instance, I chose to study in the US because I can develop my working skills in a multiple-culture environment. These may guarantee my chance of employment after college or university. Also, the Internet and TV give us the opportunity to receive information from all over the world. So I need to be familiar with different languages to order to take advantage of this.
Second, learning outside of class is a good way to know about different cultures. Familiarity with other cultures is also important today. It teaches me respect for other ways to life. Or it can encourage peaceful solution to conflicts.
Third, studying in a class is the most common way of doing it. In contrast, when you go outside class, you can face something new, or even you can try your accent like your native language. For example, I always want to practice my English when I go out. Because I think that only practice is the best teacher. In the beginning, it can be hard to understand what people are saying but as the time passes anything get clearer.
Last but not least, learning outside a class helps me to experiment with different ways of doing things. I can have new experiences and try out different things. I also can make changes in my habit if I like it. This gives me a chance to explore the world and myself.
In conclusion, learning a foreign language outside of class has advantages such as: learn a new language, know about different cultures, face something new, and help experiment with different way. In my viewpoint, learning a foreign language outside of class is the best way.
