Summary/Abstract: Both in the formal and informal classroom teaching, language teachers resort to digital media when it comes to language acquisition. When, on what, where or how often will the students themselves resort to these media for the purpose of learning the language without being instructed to do so? A survey offers insight in the learning habits of the medical students of the Victor Babeș University, both of the Romanian students that learn German as a foreign language and the foreign students that learn Romanian. The results show on the one hand different learning experiences, and on the other hand a tendency of the digital natives to handle digital media.
