Most people can’t learn a language all on their own (actually, I’m more inclined to think that no one can). Despite the availability of individually-geared language learning tools, interacting with other people is usually a big part of the acquisition process.
While a lot of the studying aspects of language learning can be performed by learners all by themselves, practice usually works best with a feedback mechanism in place. That means, having other people to interact with using the vernacular to effectively gauge how well you’ve acquired the material (and how much you still need to do).
That’s why language learning usually works best when you’re going through it with others. Even if you don’t gather in a room together like study-buddies, regular interaction with these “partners,” of sorts, should help your overall development. Being that it’s usually difficult to see how well you are doing all by your lonesome, they can provide the encouragement (or the discouragement) to help fine-tune your compass of where you are in your language studies.
Having a partner allows you to have a yardstick by which to measure your own pace of learning. It gives you a good idea of which areas to seek improvement on. Even better, you can get qualified advice from people getting better results on which areas of the language study you need to change up or pay more attention to – things you simply wouldn’t have if you didn’t have others currently involved on the same endeavor.
