Because SQL is so similar to the English language, it is pretty easy to learn on your own. You can learn it quickly by going through online tutorials that teach the syntax and keywords in the language. But, to get good at SQL, you will want to practice and work with data regularly. Therefore, some people may find it easier to learn by following a tutorial, taking a course, or getting a certification. These methods often provide structured exercises and/or assignments, which allow you to practice the skills you are learning. This type of experience will help you to progress faster.
