Is it possible to master Japanese just by studying on my own?
February 1, 2022
If I had to choose between “there is a possibility” and “there is no possibility”, I would say “there is a possibility”. In fact, there are some people who have mastered it just by self-study. However, for many people, the learning effect is poor and the risk of failure is high, for the following reasons.
-Because of the lack of feedback, they are unaware of misuse.
-Inability to choose the best learning method and plan.
-It is difficult to maintain motivation.
The main reason for wanting to learn on your own is probably cost. If you want to keep the cost as low as possible, I recommend that you do as much as you can on your own, and then take lessons to learn only what you need to learn from a teacher.
What you can do on your own is mainly input type practice, such as learning vocabulary and basic sentence structure, listening practice, reading practice, etc. On the other hand, what you should practice with a teacher is mainly output type practice, such as pronunciation practice, conversation practice, writing practice, etc.
