learning a language I realize that personally for me it is much better to study a language in group. When you you study it in a group there is always someone who knows it better than you, who does the homework better than you. It works for me because it is a competitive atmosphere and I shall do my best to be among the best students. Also it is good when you have some timing and several topics to study. It makes me work harder. The reason for that is I know for sure that I'll never have time to come back and learn it harder. You won't get that time until you finish the year. But later you will forget about it and will be busy with something else. Obviously a group should has less than 5 people in it. The less is the better. I can add that the main problem when you study a language on some courses is a lack of speaking. I reckon it's great if you also have the time and can afford to pay for privat lessons to improve your speaking face to face with native speaker.
