Top 20 Language Boards on Pinterest – Online English Lessons

November 11, 2012 by Angela Boothroyd

Do you use Pinterest?

Pinterest is a virtual pinboard where you can organize and share things you find on the internet.

Amongst other things, I use it to collect and organize useful language resources.

Pinterest can be a very good tool for language learners. For example, you can set up boards for your favourite language websites, lessons and resources – you could have a Grammar board for saving grammar tips and lessons; or an IELTS board for collecting IELTS exam hints and tips.

Can you think of any other ways you could use Pinterest to help with learning English?
