Summary/Abstract: The paper elaborates briefly on the most salient methodological tools belonging to the core of the cognitive paradigm within linguistics. It aims at encouraging students and teachers to use those tools while learning a foreign language and in case of explaining linguistic phenomena. It should optimize the learning process, allow one to look more deeply into the structures and help to gain a view of the world similar to a native language user. In the best case, it should ignite a passion for languages and lead to more openness towards other cultures.
