Do you feel enough competent to learn a foreign language by your self?? (I'm starting my Thesis on Language Self Access and I'd like to know your opinion)

I feel like it is such a monumental task. I mean I am 20 years old and I still can't figure out English half the time. Besides, I feel like if I were to try and learn a language by myself I wouldn't know if I was right or wrong.

Absolutely, I'm learning Italian now, Portuguese next, then German.

I often feel I don't have a very good grasp of my own language, much less a foreign language. However, I can, and have learned to read some words, and make feeble translations of the written word. I would have no idea how to pronounce them, however.

I taught myself english. Though i can't tell you anything about grammar (never understood it) i write, speak, and read it perfectly. Next in line is japanese.

I am attempting to learn Russian and it is going pretty good. It was only a month ago that I thought I'd never figure out what sounds all the characters stood for. But slowly I am getting a grasp on it. . Yesterday I picked up a book that was written in French, and realized I was far from fluent. I could understand it for the most part, but not perfectly. I believe that the only way I could get a firm grasp on a language would be to immerse myself in an environment where it was the only language spoken. Self-study and even classroom instruction will only take you so far.

Competent, yes. But I think I really don't have the patience to do that everyday. Those are two different things.
