First of all, I think what my friend said should be discussed separately.
If you are in a purely English-speaking environment and spend a long time achieving a level of communication, that is not a problem. My father's younger brother, with a primary school education, immigrated to the United States at the age of 50, and he does not recognize all the English letters. He has been in the United States for nearly 20 years now, and he can still manage in daily life, of course, it’s more about the words popping out; his listening skills are much stronger than his speaking.
Why is it still not effective? The main reason is that even though he is in America, he has always communicated and interacted with friends from China, which naturally slows down the growth of his English. He can only barely remember some vocabulary when going out shopping or eating, where English is absolutely necessary.
However, if placed in a purely English environment and also actively learning, the improvement can indeed happen naturally. For example, my aunt's child graduated from university and went to study abroad in the United States. During university, their English was not good; they never passed the CET-4. After studying in a nursing school in the United States for about two to three years, their English level became nearly the same as a native speaker's. They have now been in the U.S. for 15 years and have completely reached a native level.
So my friend is right, one must work hard to learn English well, but the environment does have an impact; the more immersed you are in a purely English environment, the greater the help it provides.
