Language learning is no longer a subject that is passed  or failed in a school setting, now more than ever foreign language is a means of learning and communication, accessible, anywhere.

Learning also has a high social and cultural component and the best, an emotional component, too.. International mobility, participation in cooperation and exchange projects with peers from other countries play a very important role in language learning and in language learning.
