Nowadays it is very popular to improve one's language proficiency by living in the country of native speakers. Though there some disadvantages of this way of perfecting a language. However, I consider that it is the most effective means of acquiring the language.
The most important feature of the above mentioned way is the opportunity to plunge into the atmosphere of the language. The communication takes place in a definite language, as well as printed info, mass media are aldo in the language you are mastering. For instance, some of my friends spent 8 weeks in France.They lived separately, in families. Nobody in their surrounding spoke Russian. When my friends came home, everybody admitted that they srarted speak French more fluently in a short term.
Another plus of living abroad in order to improve somebody's language skills is the fact that you won't be able to use your mother tongue. You'll have no way out as to speak a foreign language. Even your chatting with acquaintances using your mother tongue could stop the progress, so sometimes it makes sense to limit your communication with people who don't speak the language you want to perfect.
As every phenomenon, this one has also its pros and cons, and consequently, there are some negative sides of spending time in the country where the target language is spoken.I can admit high cost of living, studying abroad, though some people work at the same time and even save some money. It is also difficult to find some considerable amount of time for living abroad. I am persuaded that there's no sense to spend less time than one year, if you want to learn a foreign language successfully.
In conclusion, I'd like to notice, that there are some additional benefits in living abroad perfecting language, such as excellent opportunity to have a look at traditions of native inhabitants, to get some new friends and, finally, to come a part of something different, unusual.
