Default Re: Learning solo is better than classroom learning?

Self-study provides both ample opportunities and numerous challenges. For the most dedicated and intelligent, it can work. Modern technologies such as MP3, the internet, and radio have certainly provided many useful tools.
Yet the vast majority of people, however, find developing their language skills requires a social context. Tutoring helps many busy professionals. Classroom instruction aids many more adults with less financial resources and more time. Homework, of course, remains a strong component of serious language courses and often must be completed in solitude.
Everyone must find their own path.
