Hello Everyone!

How important is the knowledge of foreign languages? There can be only one possible answer - it is crucial. There are three most popular languages in the world - Mandarin, Spanish and English. But English is considered to be the universal one, the language in which all world communicates, and which gives you the sense of freedom and independence, because wherever you go - Asia, Africa or Middle East there will always be someone to talk to you in English. What is more, people travel, flights are quite cheap and the world became a global village. 

Due to the fact that people all over the world live fast, work a lot and try to enjoy their leisure time, they don't have too much time to learn. Social media is one of the best sources of language materials for everyday, systematic studying. What's more, it gives you an opportunity to practice your language regularly and to a certain level - for free. Moreover, you can easily find native speakers and speaking buddies. In this post I will show you 6 ways of using social media to learn and practice foreign languages.
