As a language learner and speaker of several languages, I have always recognized the crucial role of communication. When I arrived in the Republic of North Macedonia as a refugee from Bosnia and Herzegovina, I could barely speak a word of Macedonian, which became my third language. In those challenging times, I turned to English. It became my bridge to a new life, a tool that enabled me to communicate and connect with those around me. This personal journey highlights the importance of language learning. It's about building bridges and making connections.
Technology is important, but it is not the main and most important part of learning. Technology will have an even more prominent place in the future with the development of artificial intelligence, but we should look at AI and technology only as assistants and supporters in our teaching practices.
