Is it correct and natural to say "learn with a textbook" meaning to learn something using a textbook?

Is it correct and natural to say learn with a textbook meaning to learn something using a textbook? For example:

It’s as useful to learn a foreign language with a textbook as to learn it commuicating with people.

If it sounds off, how would you say it?

One Answer

It’s actually fine, but I feel that “from a textbook” would be slightly more idiomatic.

I’d also make a few other changes to your phrasing so that it would be:

It's as useful to learn a foreign language from a textbook as it is to learn one by communicating with people.
