Failing an opportunity to use their second official language in their environment, could people be encouraged to watch television programs or use social media, such as Facebook, the Internet or Skype, for example, to make contact with young people from other environments in their second language? Those people have spent 6 to 12 years of their lives learning a second language, which requires motivation. Unfortunately, they lose virtually all their language skills in four or five years. We must find a way to motivate them to preserve that human capital, that learning in which they have invested so much.
