Is it grammatically correct to say “I teach myself subject”?
Context: my girlfriend is Italian, and remarked that “I teach myself” has no meaningful equivalent in Italian — ordinarily they would use “to learn” to say “I’m learning”, where the learning is happening under one’s own effort, and not being taught by a second party. In English, I’d often say “I teach myself”.
She asked whether I’d use “I teach myself” in formal English and I genuinely don’t know. Is this considered grammatically correct?
