Is it necessary to go to an English-speaking country?
Not 100% necessary, but a very good idea. The reason is clear. If, for example you are doing an intensive course you are in school for perhaps seven hours a day. At all other times – evening, weekends, and even breaks in school – you are with people who will probably be speaking your own first language, and not English. So you use English for maybe 25% of your waking life. But in an English-speaking country you might say just a few words in your own language to a friend sometimes, but apart from that you would use (not only speak, but hear or read) English for 100% of your waking time.
