 <\/p>\n

What is Instagram Reels and why is it good for learning English?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reels is a new video feature in Instagram. You can use it on both iOS and Android and it lets you create (and watch) 60-second video clips. There are a number of reasons why Reels is great for learning English. These include:<\/p>\n

Perfect for learning quickly!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reels are typically anywhere between 10\u201360 seconds. This allows you the chance to get useful information quickly. It\u2019s especially for those who struggle<\/strong><\/span><\/em> to concentrate on a video or class for a long time. <\/p>\n

Practise a range of skills<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reels is perfect if you want to work on your listening comprehension, pronunciation or build up your vocabulary. Some videos also encourage the user to comment, meaning that you practise your writing skills too.<\/p>\n

You can access them anywhere<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going away this summer you don\u2019t need to worry about carrying your textbooks with you. Reels are easy to access through Instagram on your phone. So why not practise English by the pool?<\/p>\n

Learn everyday English<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather than studying a curriculum from a book, Reels are short and snappy<\/strong><\/span><\/em>. They typically include more casual vocabulary, expressions, phrasal verbs and everyday speaking skills.<\/p>\n
