If you can, teaching yourself is the best way ---- I kind of have issue with authority figures and by-and-by usually end up teaching myself (due to my personality). But really I can't understand how it can be any other way -- you have a brain, the essentials of communication (reading and such), books etc, and a will and you're on your way. Plus when you teach yourself you tend to make mistakes more which is the best way to learn. Just believe in yourself mon ami .
