Angular error : Can't bind to 'ngForFrom' since it isn't a known property of 'a'

Question

This is not a new error I believe. I've tried most of the things that solved the error, but I'm not able to fix it. Here's my appModule.ts file

import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    CommonModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Looks like I have everything needed, let me know if anythings missing. And here you can see my template, app.component.html

<div class="container">
<span class="text-center">
    <h1>{{Portfolio.firstName+' '+Portfolio.middleName+' '+Portfolio.lastName[0]}}</h1>
    <h2 class="subHeading">{{Portfolio.subheading}}</h2>
    <img src="../assets/img/me.JPG" class="rounded-circle mx-auto d-block smallerImg">
</span>
<div class="row justify-content-center">
    <a [href]="social.link" class="p-2" target="blank"
     *ngFor="let social from Portfolio.socialMedia">
        <i [style.color]="social.color" [class]="social.icon"></i>
    </a>
</div>
</div>  

And here is my app.component.ts file

import { Component} from '@angular/core';
import  { CommonModule} from '@angular/common';
import { OnInit, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Portfolio } from './../models/portfolio.interface';
 socialMedia: [
    {
      icon: 'fa fa-linkedin fa-2x',
      link: 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/akshay-kumar-603740136/',
      color: '#007bb6'
    },
    {
      icon: 'fab fa-github',
      link: 'https://github.com/akkie00',
      color: '#6e5494'
    }
  ],

in which you can see the array I'm trying to loop through. This is the error I'm getting :

    compiler.js:486 Uncaught Error: Template parse errors:

Any help is much appreciated.

Try

*ngFor="let social of Portfolio.socialMedia"

from is the wrong keyword. Use of
