The best way to learn a foreign language is self study online. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#language #self #study
Thanks to new technology, there are many more methods of available to
second
 language learners today than ever before.
However
,
although
 I agree that the online
self
 course
self
 course is a good way of learning a foreign tongue, I do not believe that it is the best. On the one hand,
self
 application websites undoubtedly allow many
second
 language students to learn effectively.
Firstly
, a lot of online content is based on games and short videos, which many students find more interesting than traditional learning approaches.
Also
, because
this
 content can be accessed at any time, students are more likely to
study
 regularly and,
as a result
 improve consistently. The most positive aspect of
self
study
,
however
, is that it puts the motivation to learn at the hands of the students, and
this
 is often the key to real success.
However
, despite the obvious benefits of
self
study
 online, I still believe that a traditional classroom environment is a better place to learn a foreign sound. The main drawback of
self
study
 is the lack of a teacher to provide you with feedback. Students often find that there is a big difference between understanding vocabulary and grammar of a page, and being able to use them effectively in speech. Having a teacher to offer correction can be the only way to overcome
this
 hurdle.
Also
, teachers can encourage and motivate students, which is another element lacking from online application courses. In conclusion,
although
 I agree that
self
 review can be a very effective way of learning a foreign sound, I still believe that studying in a class with a teacher is a far better method of learning.
