Charles Aznavour, a French singer, said in one song: "I speak about a time the under of twenty years old can't know."

I could say the same for the language's learning, changing the period of age to under thirty-five years old.

When I was young, learning a new language needs to have a teacher and traveling in a foreign state to acquire confidence and fluency.

Today, with the Internet and the new tools, you could learn whatever you want, without great difficulties, from your home. When I want a book, I could order it on a shopping website in the opposite part of the world. I could hear American or Australian accents; I could find videos that explain pronunciation, grammar rules and propose vocabulary. Youtube is a fabulous tool.

Something is missing with all these tools: to discuss and exchange with other people in their language.

There is a paradox; people can post personal photos on social media without protection so that everybody can see them in their private life, but they're incapable of saying 'hello,' 'how're you,' or 'thanks' to someone they didn't meet physically before. Human nature has contradictions. I prefer saying 'hello' to someone unknown than showing me in my bathroom to the world.

Fortunately, now is 'Journaly.'
