    Could this be translated as "The boy is learning English on his own", as well? Or is "on one's own" a different expression in Hebrew?

      Well, on his own would be בְּעַצְמוֹ

        Could someone please explain what באופן means as I see it is part of multiple phrases but I just don't see the connection.

        According to the Tips and Notes for this lesson, 'Many adverbs that end in "-ly" in English are paraphrased in Hebrew by using the word אופן ("way", "manner"):

        עצמאי - independent באופן עצמאי - independently (literally "in an independent way")'

        Unfortunately, "in an independent way" isn't accepted.

          Why is "he studies english by himself" wrong?

          That could mean a number of things, and independent learning (without the help of others) is only one of them. For instance, he may be in a class of 30 students who spend a lot of time together, but at this moment he's by himself (alone in his room) doing his homework.

            This means "without a teacher"?
