The clear mistake was in writing 見ます with that kanji. It has nothing to do with "seeing", so it isn't written in kanji. That みる means "to try".

I don't want to raise the general speech level so just listen and forget. This is because we mentioned the phrase "to study by oneself". There is already a word for it, which is to 独学(どくがく)する. If one says 「日本語を独学する」, there's no need for worrying about where to put ひとりで.
Oh, I thought that it was the kanji for "to see" because the way I learned it, it teacher said "to see and try." I'll have to remember that. Thanks!
