Abstract
Mobile apps are new format of learning foreign languages. They are great as an additional way of learning, but cannot be a substitute for ordinary learning. Each app provides its own way of learning a foreign language. Each of them has its own pros and cons, and none of them is the best one. A combination of several apps is more efficient than using just one of them. However, all of them are dedicated to learning a language instead of practicing a language. Therefore, tutors, educational groups, and other regular forms of education cannot be fully substituted by mobile apps for language learning.
