Many people choose to self-study at home instead of spending money on language centers and achieve certain results, as illustrated by the story " Achieving an IELTS score of 7.5 without attending an English center ." However, reader Nguyen Van Duc counters this:
My view is this: learning English is like going to the gym. Many people can't study or exercise alone at home, so they have to go to a center or gym to interact and have the atmosphere to achieve results.
Should you study English at a language center or is self-study at home sufficient? Why are many people willing to pay a large sum of money to enroll in English courses at large centers? Does the effectiveness always justify the cost? These are common concerns for many people when starting their English learning journey.
Currently, there are two common methods people use to improve their English proficiency: attending language centers or self-studying. However, with the proliferation of English language centers without guaranteed quality, investing a large sum of money in them can be a somewhat risky investment. Furthermore, even if you choose a reputable center, not everyone will find it suitable and see significant improvement.
Do you agree with the above viewpoint?
