Are you self-studying a language?
Wow, congratulations!
Studying a language is always difficult, so if you are doing it all by yourself, you must be very brave and driven!
Although self-learning is possible, we highly recommend that you schedule a few classes here and there. Below we explain why.
Self-studying?
Although there are a lot of people that prefer to study on their own for numerous reasons (they like it, they don’t have time for studying regularly outside of class, the time of the class does not work, etc.), we always recommend taking a class here and there to guide you in the right direction.
Things to consider:
Pronunciation:
Many students that study on their own have a lot of problems with pronunciation simply because they don’t hear a native speaker talk.
Learning something wrong:
When students study on their own, many times they make mistakes that, of course, they don’t know they are making. So, what’s the problem? You internalize the mistake and then you must ‘unlearn’ it and this could be difficult if you have been saying something wrong for a long time.
Saving time:
When you have certain questions that can be answered in 5 minutes, you can meet with a teacher from time to time, instead of trying to find the answer from internet or the various books you might be using.
Putting your effort to work:
When you study a language and you get to use it with somebody that speaks, it is very satisfying! That is the ultimate goal after all, right? This also serves the purpose of keeping you engaged and motivated.
