If I wanted to learn an academic subject, then I would definitely prefer a teacher because a teacher can resonate with my desire to learn the intricacies of a study. Um, however, if I'm learning about a specific thing, like any other practical skill, then I would like to learn from friends. I think it depends on the type of knowledge which I want to attain. As for professional knowledge, I would obviously prefer teachers, but as for personal experience and other skills, I would definitely choose my friends.
