Self-study is possible, but the requirements for self-study are relatively high (consciousness, autonomy, self-care ability, etc.). ), but it is relatively free for learners. In addition, if you don't have good access to resources and materials, it is suggested that even if you have strong self-study ability and high self-study level, you should join a group, so that you can promote your thinking and understanding of the language through communication with others, help you learn, gain learning inspiration and improve your ability of learning methods.
Teaching yourself a language is like two people who can't speak a language. One of them is teaching the other while learning, and now he is teaching while learning. That's it. There is nothing mysterious. It can be assumed that what you have learned today will be taught to another person by yourself immediately, so how to make another person understand, learn and so on is the problem you have to solve. Your own problem is another person's problem. You should try to answer and answer this question for each other.
The other one says to you: Teacher, what should I do if I always can't remember the words?
Then you have to find a way to make it try to remember it easily.
The other one, you said: teacher, I tried this method, but it still doesn't work.
Then, you should find out why the solution you originally thought of for him didn't work well, whether it was your own problem or the problem of the solution itself, and then come up with the corresponding solution for the other party to continue trying. And so on.
Self-study is actually fun. Yeah, yeah.
I think self-study is still possible.
After all, relevant teaching materials can be bought now, and listening resources are not difficult to obtain.
But the difficulty should be that no one will answer your question.
If you don't correct yourself by self-study, it is easy to go further and further on the wrong road. Classmate, it is recommended to find a teacher to get started.
This is the same as hiring a personal trainer for fitness.
Skill acquisition is: the master leads the door to practice in the individual.
Whether your teacher is a book or a person.
When learning any language, I didn't say that I had to sign up for classes or study by myself. Everyone will choose a suitable learning method according to their basic level, purpose, time and personal self-control.
When you figure out why you want to learn a small language, then consider whether we should teach ourselves or enroll in classes, and have enough time and motivation to put it into practice.
Self-study or go to a training institution?
For most learners with poor families, there are not only a few small language training institutions in China, but also they are mainly concentrated in first-and second-tier cities, and the prices are not cheap. I have worked in several small language training institutions. Although it is not convenient to disclose the specific price, I can say that it is quite expensive for most students. If you study for interest, it is not cost-effective. It is really worthwhile for those who want to study abroad, improve their level of small languages in a short time and have a lot of time to stay in training schools. Because you can adjust the course according to your own learning progress, and you can maintain a good language environment and learning atmosphere.
If your city doesn't have a mature training institution, or it's far away, and you don't have that much time and money, and you only have one or two classes a week, it's a long way, so the effect is very poor and it's difficult to persist for a long time.
So my suggestion is that unless you are in a hurry or are not short of money, it is not recommended to go to a small language training institution as soon as you start. One more thing: according to the social experience of most student parties, don't be fooled by the sales staff and pay the installment tuition in a muddle, otherwise you will regret it and there is no refund.
It is not easy for parents to make money, so don't pay the bill on a whim. Once everything involves money, please be careful!
I don't object to your going to a small language school, but if you have a certain foundation of self-study or a very strong motivation to learn, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
With today's rich network resources, please teach yourself for a period of time, search for relevant small language learning videos and feel the framework of knowledge.
Self-study has two main functions:
1. Deepen the understanding of minority language learning process.
Don't waste extra money and time in training institutions (after all, introductory learning is very basic and not difficult). For example, vocabulary, sentence structure and basic grammar are not difficult in themselves. All that is needed is someone to point out the mistake.
2. Test whether you have the patience and talent to learn small languages.
Many people reported to the training institution on a whim and found themselves sleepy after studying for a few days. They don't have enough patience to keep learning, and they don't have the talent in this field. They can't even master the simplest pronunciation and grammar. In the end, I was disheartened and upset, and finally gave up halfway, wasting expensive tuition.
So let you teach yourself first, that is, take fewer detours. If you can't even feel the simplest things in the process of self-study, and feel bored and want to cry after learning a little vocabulary and grammar, then it's just for interest, so it's better to recognize yourself early.
I have met many classmates, but I can't stand the vocabulary part. Memorize today and forget tomorrow, and finally learn half-heartedly. I can't say it at all, and I can't use it. Just like many people's English level, just say "hello" and "goodbye".
Time is precious. If you don't love or have to learn, don't waste it on things you can't do well.
Then, if you have taught yourself for a period of time and feel that you have learned well and mastered basic pronunciation, basic grammar and common words, but you are not very confident in your pronunciation and usage of some grammar, and you are worried that you have been making mistakes and forming bad habits, then you can consider training institutions.
In the whole process of learning small languages, there are two stages. I strongly recommend finding teachers or training institutions, and it doesn't hurt to spend more money.
One is the pronunciation part for beginners. You can take the time to recite these words and familiarize yourself with the pronunciation, but you are not sure whether they are really accurate. If you have a small language expert to help you correct it, it will definitely be a good "child's play" for your future oral English.
The other is the part that touches the deformation of vocabulary. This part of self-study will easily be dizzy, confused and prone to mental breakdown. Teachers with ideas will be much clearer and can firmly grasp them.
In addition to these two stages, other parts can be taught by themselves.
Of course, if you learn a small language just for hobbies, fail the exam, don't go abroad, and don't deal with the Japanese, then your pronunciation is not so accurate, and your verbs are not so skilled.
In addition, it is also a cliche, that is, remember that "language learning is a long-term process", don't make an impulsive decision, get in touch slowly, and get familiar step by step is the best.
If you are studying minority languages in into the pit, you can watch videos of minority languages, and Xiaobai can get started easily.
Self-study is feasible in theory. In fact, there are too few good resources in China, and the difficulty of self-study is different from that in Europe and America. I suggest you learn English and go to a language forum like htlal or fi3. Regarding the lack of teachers, the teachers you can find on italki are much cheaper than those in institutions. The hardest thing is self-discipline. You can basically rely on yourself, spend money to buy a worksheet, or ask a tutor to make a plan for you. If you really can't make your own plan, you can spend money to find someone to make it first.
It depends on the individual. Self-conscious and active people can teach themselves. At first I tried to teach myself, but later I gave up. Later, the class I signed up for had a learning atmosphere and everyone was encouraged together.
If you have self-control and language talent, you can teach yourself. Even people with a small language learning mechanism will find online videos to learn by themselves. Now that the network is so developed, online courseware videos can be seen more and understood better. In class, someone can help you correct your pronunciation, organize your grammar, and also organize your knowledge points for people who have done textual research. People in different countries have different ideas. If you study in a public institution, you can communicate.
It depends on what kind of learning style you are suitable for.
Self-study is not professional enough and the foundation is not solid enough.
