Learning a language online is good but at the same time is not enough because you have to practice that language in the real life everyday to be able to speak, once you learn how to speak you will get through that language and ''Practice'' is the key.

learning a language is a great idea but there is a little of disadvantage because you need to learn the twist of the tonge to learn the proper technique in speaking the language you must learn. statements and words has different interpretation and meaning. grammar is very important. For me its better to learn it personally.

It is a bit effective if the individual is committed to a time of learning but the best learning in the center of teaching until he committed to devote time and serious study without laziness

Actually, no one can deny that learning a language online is very effective nowadays as it gives a good chance to communicate with native instructors then it will affect the learner's accent to utter words properly.

It all relies on how effective the electronic tools that are used in language teaching. If the application is updated, comprehensive, and possesses an actual recording of a human being as an instructor instead of an artificial or virtual one, then e-media can very well be a judicious and much swifter choice, but in the long run, machines assist us, but they will never replace us in this field because of how indispensable eye contact and body language are which are undoubtedly advantageous when encountering students.

Yes, I think it's very efficient as I found some fabulous websites like this one which provides a very cool way to learn languages. Worth to mention they trying scientific procedures to help learners memorize vocabularies and grammars by enhancing short-term and long-term memory build up.

Everything has pros and cons so does learning onlin possess. One one side its convinient to learn language online, as it saves time and cost but it requires lit if motivation to strict to learning as getting extracted is quiet easy in onlin learning. Second onlin learning lacks the phenomena of practicing which one do otherwise in real time environment.

Not efficient coz the most important thing in learning a language is practicing the language and online there is no one to talk to .

Online learning is good as an additional means only, as a helping tool, but the main one should be work with a teacher alive and communication with natives as well as reading, watching films and listening to music
