Abstract
The advent of contemporary digital platforms has revolutionized the way foreign languages are learned. This article explores the impact of language learning applications, social media, and online communities on language acquisition. By analyzing the features of platforms such as Duolingo, Babbel, and YouTube, as well as the role of social interaction in virtual environments, this study highlights the benefits and challenges of using technology for language learning. The findings suggest that contemporary platforms enhance accessibility, engagement, and personalized learning, but they also require careful integration with traditional methods to ensure comprehensive language proficiency.
