Do you learn English by yourself?

Do you study on your own or in a group?  Do you go to group lessons or learn by yourself at home?
"On your own" and "by yourself" both mean alone, but: when in the world do I say "on my own" and "by myself"???

You can practice that here: http://www.spotlight-online.de/language/basics/all-by-myself

Happy learning!
