We know that independent learning is an activity in which you learn to work and find knowledge by yourself without a teacher.

In the process, when they decide to do self-study, I can see many people follow this way as a good method, but in many case, other people decide to give up this good skill. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of self-study?

About the pros. Self - study gives learners more freedom, they can actively manage their time. Maybe they study on the bus, at home, in the library, wherever they want. The learner can study anything in their own way because they do not have a teacher teaching them with a book.

Next, the learners can understand themselves better. In this process, the big motivation is the final goal, so they can identify their target and plan to complete it. Moreover, they can find other faces their own better and give their own faces more.

On the contrary, when they work on their own, they don't have someone to push, help and support them. But I think the knowledge is not only from studying in books but also from the experience of someone did it and draw the lesson. This knowledge is hard to find. In addition, I see learners may not learn practical skills. They focus on learning and may not use academic skills in real life. It is a big disadvantage. For example, in real life, there are many cases is a boy who graduated from high school got the job instead of a boy who has a high degree because companies need a human who has a lot of experience to work effectively.

In conclusion, self - study has both pros and cons. To my mind, the pros or cons are dependent on yourself, but I think you should try to self -study to achieve your goal or your dream and don't be afraid of difficulty.
