Learn a language, ~go to the country/// my explanation.
If you want to learn a language, you should go to the country where it is spoken.
I want to explain why 'a' and 'the'(not a) should come in this context.
1. If you want to learn one of many languages, you should go to the country(here we can know what country(or countries) where it(a language) is spoken.
For example, if you want to learn Japanese(a language), you should go to the country(Japan) where it is spoken.
For example, if you want to learn English(a language), you should go to the country(USA, Britain, Canada, Aus, NZ, and so on) where it is spoken.
2. Or simply this can be explained like 'the' should come because the noun 'country' is modified by 'where is is spoken'
Is my explanation acceptable? and is there any other point explaining the reason?

I'm a bit confused by your explanation, but here's my take. Go to the country where it is spoken (only country, like Norway). Go to a country where it is spoken (several choices of countries).
