tokens: Sometimes it is good to learn with a teacher and sometimes on my own Different people prefer different styles of learning . I think both learning by myself and learning with a teacher could be helpful . Learning with a teacher can prevent one from being confused and increase the rate and speed of learning . Another important point is that for practical subjects you have to have a teacher . On the other hand, sometimes I would rather learning on my own . A good and experienced teacher can help me learn faster and easier . Sometimes when learning a course by myself which is hard and confusing to understand and has few sources available, I get discouraged after spending a lot of time . In this situation, I'll look for a teacher and request for help from him or her . And then he or she will teach me the course efficiently in a short time and therefore I will learn faster and better and won't get discouraged and confused . There are some practical subjects that you can only learn them with a teacher or an instructor . For example, if you want to learn driving a car or some jobs like medicine and engineering and some sports like skiing and swimming, you'll have to find a teacher . It's almost impossible and inefficient to learn those things on your own . By the way, if you are going to learn some things by yourself, you may learn and understand them incorrectly! For example, from my own experiences, after I had started learning playing the guitar without a teacher, I got used to wrong habits regarding strumming and tempo, but after finding and learning with a tutor and identifying and eliminating those incorrect habits, I was able to play properly . There are some things that I prefer to learn them without a teacher because I won't have to spend extra money for a teacher and my time will not be wasted either because of going to classes . In today's world there are many great and useful sources available like books, electronic books, the internet and TV and satellite . I can utilize them as tutorials for many things . For instance, I can learn English or other languages by a lot of helpful books and many online websites . In sum, sometimes it is good to learn with a teacher and sometimes on my own . In my view, both can help and each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages .
