Do you enjoy your language learning or is it a chore you merely trudge through? Your answer to that can define a lot about the kinds of results you gain from the activity.
You can learn a language from doing any activity. Whether sitting through an interactive language software, going to a language class or reading a book, it’s possible to sufficiently acquire a facility for a new language. The crucial variable for many language learners isn’t what medium they’re using to get their lessons. Instead, it’s whether that medium is best suited to them.
From what I’ve seen, the best way to learn a language is to find things that you can enjoy doing as you learn it. Do you like solving word puzzles and hate sitting in classrooms? Then there’s little doubt that a language software that incorporates word puzzles will probably be a much better learning material for you than an entire semester inside a classroom. If you like practicing on your own, do it; if you’d rather go out and practice speaking with people, then do that. When there’s an activity you’d rather do without, then skip it.
When your language learning activities give you pleasure, it’s easier to make time for them. Instead of dreading the time you will spend doing your lessons, it becomes something to look forward to.
