Hello, what are you doing here? The class has finished, you can go home.

Yes, I know. I decided to stay because I want to ask you some questions.

Please.

I see. Well, tell me, what's your question? I think I have some minutes for you.

Thank you, teacher. Well, I have to tell you that I probably won't attend classes next month. I am planning to take out a loan from the bank to go on a trip to an English-speaking country since it is the only way to learn English. I must be in a country where they speak English, otherwise, I will never be able to speak English. That's why I have decided to ask for a loan and go to another country.

What? Who told you that? That's not true. Where did you see that?

Well, I saw that on a video. They said you need to live in an English-speaking country to become fluent.

Well, let me tell you, that's not true. That's only a myth. I will explain it to you. It is a common belief that you must live in a country where English is spoken to become fluent. However, this is not necessary. With the internet, movies, books, and online classes, you can practice and improve your English anywhere. Seriously, the most important thing is regular practice and exposure to the language. That's all. So it is not necessary to travel to another country to learn English. If you can do it, excellent. It is really a great experience to visit and know different cultures, but you don't need to go into debt to travel. It may be an error, so think about it very carefully.

I understand. Well, I suppose you're right. Now that I think about it, you're right. It's just that in the process of learning English, one can despair and believe anything.

I know. There are many myths about learning English. Another one is you can learn English quickly with the right method. This is not correct. There's a belief that you can learn English very quickly if you use the best method or a magic trick. In reality, learning a language takes time and effort. There are no shortcuts. Consistent practice and patience are key. Now, of course, different methods can help, but there's no single best method that works for everyone. There are methods that can help you learn English better and even faster, but not in a very short time. You have to understand that.

Oh yeah, now I get it. I have also heard speaking is the only important skill.

Oh, that's another myth. Some people believe that speaking is the most important part of learning English, but they don't understand that reading, writing, and listening are just as important. All these skills work together. For example, reading can help you learn new words, which will improve your speaking and writing. Listening to English helps you understand how words sound and are used in real conversations. All the skills are important.

Yes, you have said something like that before, I remember. Another myth, another example is you must learn perfect grammar first.

That's not true. Many learners think they must know perfect grammar before they can start speaking or writing in English. This is a myth. It is okay to make mistakes. Mistakes help you learn. You can communicate effectively even if your grammar is not perfect. The goal is to communicate your ideas, not to be perfect. Or the myth that says you must understand every word to understand English. In reality, you don't need to know all the words. Often, you can understand the main idea by knowing some key words and using context. Learning to guess the meaning from context is a very useful skill.
