The answer

The ruling on residing in non-Muslim lands and its conditions have been previously explained. If you are permitted to reside there, we advise you to acquire ample religious knowledge to correct your acts of worship, beliefs, and dealings. This can be achieved by reading accessible religious books and beneficial websites, and by consulting the fatwas of prominent scholars known for their adherence to the Sunnah. Do not engage in argumentation with Christians unless you have acquired sufficient knowledge to refute misconceptions. You should constantly review the Holy Quran. It is not obligatory for you to memorize its meanings in English unless you intend to invite English speakers to Islam; in that case, rely on a trustworthy translation of the Quran's meanings.
