The reason is because you are totally immersed in the langage you are learning. If you want to communicate, you are forced to speak the foreign language. If you take a foreign language class in your home country, the only time you speak the language is in class. But in another country, you must learn! I am a perfect example. I am currently studying abroad in France and before coming here 6 months ago, I spoke not one word of French. But now after taking classes and being surrounded by the language, I can understand almost anything and can speak it well also!
