Are WhatsApp groups really helpful for language learning? To be honest, I've never given it a try since I'm a cautious person and prefer to stay in my comfort zone. Not having an enough knowledge of the risks of joining such groups and not knowing the ways to be safe from them has made me avoid giving it a shot. Besides, I don't think the native speakers of the language we like to learn, would join this kind of groups. This is another reason why WhatsApp groups don't seem so helpful to me. However, whenever I open the discussion section here, I come across at least one or two posts offering to become a member of these groups. At first, I decided to turn a blind eye to them. But the amount of these posts is considerably growing. To the point that I feel like I'm losing an amazing tool to improve my English.
