Explanation:

improve your fluency, you’ll have to work hard for it by making a commitment, setting goals, and dedicating time to study and practice. If you live in an English-speaking country, you’ll have an advantage, but you won’t become a better English speaker unless you take steps to improve.

As a matter of fact, there are a lot of people who live in English-speaking countries who say they want to learn English but do all their business and live their regular lives without taking any steps to progress their language abilities. Believe it or not, some people even take English language classes but don’t improve because they’re not willing to put in time to study and practice or to make English a part of their lives.

This isn’t about passing judgment; rather, it’s just a bit of tough love to demonstrate that there aren’t shortcuts to learning English as some might want to believe. Again, making noticeable progress takes time, dedication, and hard work.
