Hello Mian Umair,
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad this blog was useful to you. Four years have passed since I wrote this blog, and my view on learning a language/classroom settings is the same. It is true that technology allowed me to expand my classrooms to the whole world using the technology. However I'm still there, me, a human being, teaching French to learners who need this human interaction.
The CEO of a famous coffee shop brand once said : "I think one of the common themes going forward is finding ways to create human connection. Human interaction. The world needs that."
Happy learning Mian!
