Hello
Moggy, your are right about the being surrounded 24/7 by the language, but although english is a relatively easy language to learn that won't be enough.
Grammer,vocabulary and all that boring stuff doesn't find its way into the brain in the right order without a teacher, even english natives should go to school...
Samy, I've done this several times myself and I found the key to learn a language is to try to think in it, but that only works if you try not use your native language at that time. The worst you can do is pay a lot of money for the school and he spends all his time with classmates of your homecountry.
But, the most important thing of all, he must want to learn.
