Can you correct my mistakes, please?
Some people think that they can learn better by themselves than with a teacher. Others think that it is always better to have a teacher. In your English class, you’ve been talking about learning with a teacher or by yourself.
Nowadays, some students prefer to learn by themselves than with a teacher. Recently, I read an article about learning languages without studying at an academy with teachers. This article says that if you usually receive English lessons at an academy, you learn the language more slowly.
I would like to explain my reasons regarding why I don’t agree with that idea. Currently, students have more difficulty studying because they have stopped spending time at the library. Teenagers prefer to go out with their friends or practise sports.
Due to this, I think that it is better to have a teacher so you can receive lessons that help you in your learning. What’s more, if you go to class with a teacher, you will do different activities such as listening, reading or speaking in English to improve your skills.
All in all, at present it is very important to have good knowledge about your school subjects and you should pay attention to your teachers.The things I highlighted in green aren't mistakes, but native speakers tend to use contractions in their speech and writing so instead of "it is", we would probably say "it's" more. Also, you could leave out "that" in your first two sentences. It would make the entry sound more natural. :)

A local college that offers sign language classes has an event list that non-students can go to as well. Make friends with Deaf people first and then ask them to teach you BSL. My friend has a Deaf boyfriend but she didn't decide to learn sign language until after they started dating and now she's really good. Good luck! :)0 votedMarch 1, 20140
Mewe, that's funny and true. The other thing we'd say is Indian or American Indian, but that's not accurate either because they aren't from India. I think the new term is First Americans. I'd rather just say Yokuts or whatever their tribe is. Amanda, that's good because maybe someone would actually want to learn Cherokee. Oh I forgot they are called aboriginal too, but I think only of aboriginal Australians haha.

A lot of English learners have said they want a "native American" person to practise English with. I know they mean someone who was raised in the United States but every time I see that, it makes me think they want a tribal person like Chumash or Cherokee, because in America, that's what "Native American" means. It's a bit confusing.
