<!-- (Audio) Alice: I'm mostly self-taught and I took a lot of online courses. -->

--description--

Self-taught means learning things by yourself, not from a school or teacher. It's when you learn something on your own.

The word taught comes from teach, which means to give someone knowledge or to show how to do something. So, if you are self-taught, you have learned something by yourself.
