    Indeed, without breaks it just feels like work! And decided to attend in-person course - mostly because I also wanted to meet new people honestly. I fully understand that formal courses are not for everyone :) For me it’s about gaining a bit of motivation after a while of not really having any and to meet new people.

    I have taken formal courses before and I find structured and guided learning much easier. It’s just bit annoying alongside a full time job… And I can relate, wish I also had used my time in school better lol.

      Right, it very much depends on what you put into it. I took some lessons last year (something else, not in language, but nonetheless), and found that I didn’t get much out of the actual sessions - but studied and practiced way harder throughout the week to prepare for the session. It was really beneficial. I wasn’t being taught too too much, but adds so much motivation to improve self learning.

        I can relate with the whole putting more effort into preparing for a class. And honestly uni studies would have not gone as well if I had just left it to the lectures and had not studied during free-time too. It’s all up to you in the end.
