　　STUDYING ABROAD

　　Many language learners think that the best way to learn a language is to spend time in a country where the language is spoken. In the past, studying abroad was a distant dream for most people. Nowadays, however, it has become easier to find both opportunities and means. Many schools offer exchange programmes at various academic levels at a reasonable cost. There are programmes for junior and senior middle schools as well as colleges. Some programmes offer a "homestay" service, ie visiting students will live with a host family. This is perhaps the best option for younger students, since it means that the student does not have to worry about meals and housing. Living with a host family is also a wonderful way to learn about the culture in that country. Most exchange students say that they feel as if they were truly part of their host families and that they will always stay in touch.
