Read the text and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.
There are many ways people can use a mobile phone to learn a language. Using an app to learn vocabulary is a great place to start, but there are more interesting ways of practising language skills. For listening and speaking skills, people listen to and repeat songs. They can also make the words appear on the screen, which can help with reading skills. There are plenty of videos online in many different languages, which give similar practice. Many phones also respond to questions and it’s possible to change the language setting on a phone. This means that it’s possible to have a conversation with a phone in a foreign language. People who aren’t confident will benefit from this because their phone won’t judge them or point out their mistakes! Messaging any friends you have abroad is also a good way to practise writing skills.
