FACE-TO-FACE LEARNING VS ON-LINE LEARNING

These days, there is a great on-line opportunities if you want to learn something by yourself. However, some people still have doubts about this way of learning. From my point of view, it depends mainly on your personal situation and what you need.
On one hand, if you work, you have children and your life is very busy, on-line learning is a good choice. The most important advantage of this kind of learning, is that you don't have to attend lessons at a particular time, but you can study whenever you have any free time. In my case, this happens at night, after my children have fallen asleep. Nevertheless, the main disadvantage of this is that you have to be very constant self-motivated, because you have to work by yourself, and nobody can encourage you to do it. Despite this, I don't think this is a big problem if you like what you are doing, which is my case. Because you need nobody to encourage you to work, you do it because you enjoy it. You can plan your own schedule, you work those things that you need to work more, and you don't waste your time, which is very important when you have little spare time.

On the other hand, face-to-face learning seems to be a more comfortable way of learning. You attend lessons, a teacher gives you explanations and he tells you what you have to do. Unfortunately, only a few teachers worry about the individual needs of their students, so you may need to work on things that you don't work while you work things that you don't need. Therefore, it might be a waste of time sometimes.
Personally speaking, I have tried both of them, and nowadays, I prefer on-line learning. It gives you the freedom to work whenever you have time, at your own pace. A great amount of resources can be found on the internet (related to learning languages, for instance), and you are the one who best knows what you need.
