Technology has made it very easy for language learners to easily and instantly grasp the communicative basics of a new language within a couple of months. As an English teacher I still remember my first students 9 years ago and how they used to struggle with learning English grammar and vocabulary making do of the few interactive resources available to them. If you compare them to today's students you will notice a huge difference particularly in the learning methods.
Now Internet provides all kinds of media ( video, presentations, tutorials, articles, dictionaris, lessons, tutors and many more ) that a student can access with a single click. Not only that, mobile technology has even produced a new kind of learning called mobile learning , learners lear on the go wherever they are and whenever they want.
