This is a well-known fact that these days e-learning has been more and more popular way to learn foreign languages. Many claim that it is a positive phenomenon, while others say, it has many disadvantages. Advantages First of all, e-learning is the best way of learning for people who do not have enough time for going to school. You can learn whenever you want to, at any time of the day. You can have a break, for example for a meal, you don’t have to sit in front of the computer for one and a half hour as in the classroom. You can save your time and use it for other useful things.

There is no time to sit and think if the thing that we are going to consume is good for our health. If we are not able to see the results of this lifestyle now, it can be crucial to our future life.
