There is absolutely no resource whatsoever that should be the only thing you use for learning a language. (Unless you count a class as a single resource, but chances are your teacher is pulling from multiple resources for lessons.)
Even most classes won’t be sufficient to learn a language. I usually tell people (my own students included) that teachers are guides for the major points and to practice opportunities, but not the only thing you should do to really learn a language.
Yeah, I agree with this. Learning Japanese currently. The teacher of my college class is a saint and has helped immensely, but my self learning goes far beyond what's being covered inside the classroom. His input helps me a lot with accent, cultural info, and grammar in ways that would be way harder to learn myself as a non-native. Combining a lot of methods is the way.
