Frequently Asked Questions

Can you really learn English from social media?

You can, if the time is spent with a purpose rather than by scrolling. Following English-language pages, joining groups where the conversation happens in English and reading comments turn a habit you already have into input you actually notice.

How do I make my feed work for my English?

Change what reaches you: follow accounts that post in English on subjects you already care about, switch the interface language, and join a group where you can post and reply. When English becomes the default of the feed, practice stops being a separate task.

Is the English on social media good to copy?

It is real and current, which is its value, but it is informal – abbreviations, slang and deliberately broken grammar are everywhere. Treat it as listening and reading practice, and keep exam writing to the more careful English you learn in class.
