How can you practice aikido by yourself?
Depending on how you view what "Aikido" actually is, it is a Martial Art, it is a way of life, and it also contains spiritual things in it as well. Doing physical techniques requires a partner. People actually do "Aikido" on a daily basis, they just dont know it. Many of every day things that people do like drive a car, open doors, and drinking from a glass are movements which are found in Aikido. Primarily in Yoshinkan style of Aikido, there are fundamental movements called "Kihon Dosa". These movements can be done by yourself and they can be viewed on sites like youtube.com . You can practice Aikido Stretches and other movements by yourself, but to learn the techniques, there is no better place than a Dojo itself.

How long takes to learn basic aikido?
There is no specific time. Aikido is self paced and some people will promote faster than others. Generally, once you reach a black belt rank, there becomes time restrictions before you can promote to the next Dan ranking. I know an Aikido Sensei who has over 40 years of Aikido experience, and he is a 6th Dan. Most people have a misconception of rank. Again, generally speaking, once you reach 3rd Dan, there is no difference to the next rank and so forth. It is merely "status" and political. You can be recommended for a Dan ranking and be promoted. That does not mean you are any better or know any more than a lesser rank.
How effective is Aikido?
This question can be interpreted in different ways.As a fighting tool.Speaking in strictly technical terms, it is very effective at stopping all brainless charging. If a man or woman just charges at them brainlessly, the proverbial "bull rush" tackle attempt, an expert Aikidoka will send them flying. Nine times out of 10 I can almost guarantee it. The majority of street encounters always involve agression by untrained martial artists, so in that respect Aikido can be effective, since most violent assaults involve some sort of bullrushing. The consistent thing about primitive minded criminal assailants, is that they always move forward brainlessly, and Aikido works from there. To a certain extent so does Judo.However because the martial art is so leverage and physics reliant, it is extremely difficult to perfect, to use it effectively you are looking at a solid decade of training. Not only that, but Aikido's arsenal is extensive; see, practice in Aikido requires that you be a good attacker, or most of the trips and throws just won't work. The momemtum of an opponent, is what many Aikido throws use, and without that momentum that aggressive action the move just will not work. That means that in Aikido training, you learn all sorts of attacks derived from various Japanese martial arts; you even learn "football" style rushing which Aikido borrows from Sumo.As a life tool.Because of Aikidos focus on harmony with your attacker, it makes it very hard to learn and use effectively, as mentioned above, with a large amount of training involved.But the benefit of this is that Aikido experts practice a harmony within, as well as with their opponents. You learn to avoid confrontation without having 'lost' to your opponent. While mastering a very effective fighting martial art, such as those use in MMA, teaches you how to hurt an opponent, it doesn't necessarily translate into a more fullfiled life, because the need to fight and prove yourself over others is maintained.In Aikido you don't need to assert victory over an opponent, but harmonise with them.In theory.

It depends on the level of the student. Any aikido person will tell you that aikido is better, and most karate students will argue that Karate is.
