Talking to natives of the language you wanna learn, gives you FEEDBACK and thereby boosts your learning.
I was pointing out that most natives wouldn't actually be able to give you a legit reason for why a verb changes in what direction depending on tense etc., while a teacher will be able to show you and explain to you EXACTLY why a word is used the way it is.
I never said that. lol. At what point did I say that I'd only comment on what you'd written?

Actually, you said "if you talk to natives of the language, it's not actually self-teaching", which is why I thought you were saying that as soon as you want to practise, it's no longer self study.
So just out of interest, in your opinion, if someone wanted to be self-taught, how would they practise having conversations?
Unless we mis-understood each other yet again...
I was talking about just regular conversations with natives of the target language; Not actually asking them for explanations on particular grammar points etc in their language.
Also, in your post you quoted me, hence my assumption you would be making relative comments on what I had written...
