Questions & Answers about Według mnie, samodzielne nauczanie jest bardzo skuteczne.
Why do we use mnie after według instead of mi?
The preposition według (according to) always requires the Genitive case. The Genitive form of ja (I) is mnie. You might be thinking of mi, which is the short Dative form used for things like giving or telling something to someone.
The translation says independent teaching. What if I wanted to say independent learning?
You would use samodzielne uczenie się. The word nauczanie is a verbal noun from nauczać (to teach). To express the act of learning, you need the verbal noun formed from uczyć się (to learn), which is uczenie się.
Could I use the word efektywne instead of skuteczne here?
Yes, but there is a slight difference in focus. Skuteczne specifically means effective in the sense that it successfully produces the desired result. Efektywne can also mean effective, but it heavily carries the nuance of efficient (producing a good result without wasting time or energy).
How would this phrase look if I used it with the lesson's focus preposition poprzez (through), as in I get results through independent teaching?
It wouldn't change at all! The preposition poprzez indicates methodological agency and requires the Accusative case. Because samodzielne nauczanie is a neuter phrase, its Accusative form is identical to the Nominative form you see in this sentence. You would just say: Osiągam wyniki poprzez samodzielne nauczanie.
