Abstract: The essence of efficient communication is perceived in 45 seconds. Beyond this, everything is just some filler that only outlines the main idea, namely it enriches communication. So we can say that every lesson should be well focused and concentrated into a sequence of no more than 45 seconds. It should be the goal of trainers of foreign languages by means of computers. Therefore, we would like to point out hereby the results of a research conducted on a sample of 1,055 participants, distributed as follows: 10-14 years old, 307 participants; 15 – 20 old years, 212 participants; 21-35 years old, 325 participants; 36-50 years old, 106 participants; 51 - 65 years old, 56 participants; over 66 years old, 49 participants. All participants in experimentation want / need to learn foreign languages, with preference: English, as language of trade and wide circulation and Italian because it is smooth, fine and delightful. Our research aims to improve the use of digital techniques both for trainers and subjects in teaching/learning foreign languages, from A1 to C2, in particular through e-learning. The study’s results show the need to involve IT tools in the interactions with adults, young adults and children in learning foreign languages. We would like to emphasize the challenging psycho-didactics in achieving the goal of learning and independent learning.
