Summary/Abstract: The theme of the process of learning a foreign language continues to be a favorite subject for specialists and not only for them. Acquiring linguistic competences, in the case of a foreign language, presupposes a multitude of stages and analyses, of key factors and strategies, as well as a correct evaluation of the cognitive potential. A sine qua non condition of the success of this kind of initiative is represented by the motivational definition. The aptitude and the attitudinal factors create the premises of linguistic success or failure. The assimilation of the theoretical knowledge has to be doubled by the practical part of the study of a foreign language.
