Summary | Babbel, Duolingo, and Busuu are currently among the most popular language learning apps. They are great for starters because all that is needed is a smartphone and some free time here and there, for instance while waiting for the bus. In order to learn a foreign language fluently, however, one needs to practice with native speakers.

Summary | Some schools are embracing the technological advancements influencing our everyday lives by incorporating them into their classes. Some classes have even become entirely paper-free! Not all, however, the learning tools are chosen so as to to help maximize students' learning. Students are already familiar and comfortable with most of the technology and it makes no sense to ban smartphones from classrooms if they can enhance learning.
