In this article, we will show you how learning English on Instagram is beneficial and fun. We will also share a curated list of the top Instagram accounts you should be following to start learning and improving your English.

How to Maximize Your English Learning on Instagram 

Nowadays, everything that you need is on social media, even English language courses. But, as with any other learning strategy, learning English through Instagram can come with its ups and downs. 

Here are some tips you can use to maximize your English learning on Instagram: 

1. Assess Yourself 

Not everyone learns the same way. Before you dive into the world of language learning, you should first assess your current skill set. 

Knowing where you are in your journey will allow you to know your specific needs to improve and learn the language. In honestly answering these questions, you get to know yourself, which will enable you to set the tempo and direction to how you want to learn going forward.

2. Pick The Right Instagram Account

Once you have assessed yourself, it will be easier for you to pick the right Instagram account that will aid you best in learning English. There are a lot of Instagram accounts for learning English out there, so it is crucial to pick the ones that will add value to your learning and not just clutter your mind. 

In picking the right Instagram account, consider the following features:

Curated

Pick the accounts that are specifically for your profile. 

For example, if you are Spanish speaking with no basic knowledge of English, look for those who are into basic translations of words and phrases. On the other hand, if you are already an intermediate learner, some accounts focus on grammar and sentence construction that is right for you. 

Format

Ask yourself: How do you learn best?

Some Instagram accounts teach English through fun skits and stories, while some are straightforward in giving content and information. Learn what kind of teaching strategy you want and look for an Instagram account that reflects that. 

Goal

People have different objectives in learning English. 

Some people want to learn English to get into an international university in an English-speaking country. Meanwhile, some want to learn English to be able to converse with new friends and colleagues. 

Whatever your goal in learning English is, an Instagram account will help you through it. 

You can pick out more than one Instagram account, as long as they align with your needs. You can also change or seek out other Instagram accounts about learning English along the way if you feel that your current choice is no anymore valid with your journey. 

---

3. Engage With The Account

Since you are on social media, take the chance to be social in your English learning journey. Engage with your chosen account by commenting on the posts that appeal to you the most. 

Your comment does not have to be elaborate. You can share your learnings and thoughts on specific topics, as these might also help other fellow English learners in their journey. 

Also, do not be afraid to ask questions if you have any. You can type it in the comment box or, if you’re not comfortable publishing your questions, you can message the account directly. 

Some Instagram accounts also directly engage their audience by asking them English questions about how their day went or how they feel about certain things. It is nice to take the chance to immerse yourself in the learning process and practice your English sentence construction skills starting from Instagram’s comment box. 

4. Write It Down

Several studies have shown that physically writing down things helps the brain remember things. A study by the Journal of Writing Research has shown that there are certain benefits to remembering words through handwriting that may not be fully retained in keyboard writing in terms of word recall. 

It does not mean that you have to ditch the online way and go old school through books, pads, and pencils. After all, there are endless resources, especially in learning English, accessible with one click of a button. 

You can do, especially when you’re on Instagram, write down the things that you learn or remember in every English learning post that you see. Instead of just saving them in your Instagram archive, absorb them on social media and write them down in one notebook or pad. 

5. Find A Community 

Language is a skill best practiced with conversation. That is why it is crucial to find a community to talk to while learning the language. 

One good way to find a community of English learners is by participating in your chosen Instagram account activities. It is because followers of that Instagram account already share your vision and goals in learning the language. 

Aside from practicing conversation, finding a community through Instagram accounts will help you whenever you have questions or clarifications in recent English learning posts.
