When do you use 'się'? And what does it mean?

"uczyć się" means just to learn not "to teach myself"

Which is the same thing. When you sit and read your course book you learnand you teach yourself.

Another example:

1 - prowadzić = to drive, to ride
2 - prowadzić się = to behave, to conduct (like: to ride yourself)

In sentence:

1 - Doda prowadzi Lamborghini.
2 - Doda prowadzi się źle.

The easiest way that I learned "się" is that is it used for the reflexive.

Ahhh! Interesting. You really have to think outside of the box when translating Polish to English, no wonder googletranslate can't cope!

Many thanks everybody for your help!

When you understand the structures and principles of Polish, it's actually a rather logical language.
