True, but classroom is still necessary if you want to go beyond conversations in a more or les broken language. I often hear people complaining about school and arguing that you just need immersion in the culture. But looking at the grammar and the way the language works is invaluable to make sense of what you hear, truly understand it, and make progress beyond just repeating things you've heard already.
