Learning Spanish: Classroom vs. independently
I've been reading in my "Pratice Makes Perfect" Spanish workbook, and in the past few days, I've covered about 4 topics. I thought to myself, "Wow. In school, it would have taken us 2 months to get through all of that! And I did it a few days." That got me thinking...is it better to learn Spanish independently or in a classroom?
Independently: When you are learning by yourself, you can go at your own pace. You don't have to spend extra time on a topic that you understand, and you can take more time to learn the more difficult topics. However, in a classroom, you can interact with other students. Sometimes, I find that other students have questions that I later benefit from.
Classroom: You are able to talk to other students and ask them questions. Your teacher will be there to explain the topics for you. However, you have to stay on schedule. Sometimes, you might feel like the class is going to slow, and other times, you might be like you're falling behind.
I think I like learning in the classroom better. Ultimately, I think the choice just depends on your own personality.
