One alternative way to practice English is by using social networks. Who could deny the usefulness of social networks like Facebook? You can communicate, read posts from friends, watch videos, and do it all in English. This is not the language of books, but rather the authentic language that your peers who live in other parts of the world use every day. Perhaps these peers even share the same tastes and interests as you.
What can we say about Instagram? Instagram is a social network where only pictures and videos can be shared. Did you ever think it could be useful for practicing your English? Today we will answer this question by presenting 10 Instagram profiles with interesting content in English.
