is some evidence to suggest that these applications have

a negative impact

on learning skills, as people prefer to use these applications rather than make an effort to learn a new

.

This

is because most of these applications are easily available in the form of a mobile application, and people prefer to use these applications rather than attending a

language

class. Another disadvantage is that these applications have put many people out of a job, as accessibility of these apps have rendered

jobs redundant. People prefer to use the application which

, there is a constant increase in adopting new languages, thanks to the ease and availability of these

applications. As most of these applications are available in the form of a mobile app, people do not have to rely on an instructor to learn a new tongue. From the aforementioned arguments and examples, I believe that the advantages of these online

applications far outweigh the disadvantages. It is predicted that
