Some people got 2nd language by oneself. They learned the language indepedently.
But, a great number of people learns language with his/her teacher.
And, so many japanese who want to get ability of speaking English
attend English conversation school. They pay much money for tuition of that.
Though, you know, most of japanese could't speak English completely.
I think the reason is they do not learn themself when they are not in the school.
By the way, I paid for 100,000 yen for 50 sets of English lecture at a cram school for entering university.
One lecture has 50 minutes, and it needs 2,000 yen.
Those lecture content me. They had value as same as payment.
Today, we think "Time is money". 2,000 yen values 2.5 hours part time job's wage for like working at McDonald's.
If I got learnd rapidly English as same as three times independece studying, I think the cost shold be payed.
We can study everything alone. Like Tadao Ando which is known for great architect.
But, sometime it is not efficient.
Thus, our society has elementary school, junior high school, high school, college, univercity,
graduate school and "culture center", cram school, and the other school.
