  1. Hello...Mr.Ford
    I'm Benz and I'm the first person in classroom that post a comment on this blog. lol
    My opinion about learning ESL abroad is learning from the real experience is better than learning in textbooks. I used to study English-language in my country more than 5 years,but I couldn't speak it well. A lot of Thai students learn only grammar in classroom and just specific it for the admittance test to go to university. After they finished the class,they always speak Thai-language each other. In the other hand, some people don't want to speak it with their friends or the other people because they fear to speak the wrong grammar,and that can make some people laugh at you. Many Thai students want to go abroad and learn ESL because they can learn from the real experience. In every days, you have to speak with native speakers in your routine by going to school,talking with teacher or your classmate. These can improve your English-language skill into the better way. You will try to make the other people understand that what you want to say. If you say something wrong, some people might correct your grammar and teach you how to say it correctly. Also, you can traveling around the city that you to go study. This is a good opportunity to learning ESL,getting new experience or you might get an inspiration to do something new in your life.

  4. I think that exist many benefits when you learn ESL abroad, most teachers are native and speech very well because is the mother language.
    Other benefit is you need to talk with other students in english because they are from many different part of the world.
    Another benefit is you can know customs and cultures.
    Another is you can practice all the time like a grocery, restaurants and little by little you can better understand.
    The other is you can travel a know many city and person who have different accents and you can speak and practice.
    This benefits and other ones is a reason why a bunch of people from everywhere in the world travel around the world to learn english as a second language abroad.

  9. Hi Mr. Ford
    I'm Ana Karina, I think that benefits are: Met people the other countries, because you know other cultures and customs. For me, that is benefits, because I have family here, and they are speak all of English than me. In my country the English is poor and now when the politicians don’t matter about it. ESL for me is very important, because for my career I need practice it.

  12. I think learning language in its native country has benefits. I can have more opportunities to speak and hear in English than in my country. This helps me learn the language much better because language and culture cannot be considered separately. Also, I can make friends from different countries and experience various cultures from them.

  13. Learning ESL abroad is really benefit to me. That's why I'm learning ESL in U.S.A. Many people are studying abroad as well as me. Learning ESL abroad has a wide range of benefits. Let me explain three reasons about benefits of learning ESL abroad.

    First, We who are learning ESL abroad can learn English faster than other people who learning ESL in their country, because we learning ESL from native speakers. For example, although each country have many professional ESL teacher, they can't follow native speakers. ESL teachers who are in Korea are teaching English of Korean, but we are different. We are learning ESL of English. That's why learning ESL abroad can learn English faster than other people who learning ESL in their country.

    Second, We can grow up through many variety experiences. For example, If you have bias about a other country people, you can fix your mind through make friends of the country people in abroad, or you can go travel anywhere when your vacation or weekend. That's why we can grow up through many variety experience.

    Lastly, We can take a great job. In my country, almost companies more prefer to a bilingual person than just speak one language person. If we go back to country when we finish our study, we can find great job easily than other people. That's why we can take a great job after we finish our study in abroad.

    In conclusion, learning ESL abroad is very benefit to me.
