Brand new, but terribly fashionable and, most importantly, an effective way to achieve the goal - learning languages using Instagram accounts, offers Wday.ru.
Of course, communities can hardly replace a standard textbook, but with their help you will definitely be able to learn many new words, idioms, as well as cultural characteristics of a particular country.
