Hence, this paper attempts to draw attention and analyse the differences between motivating and demotivating factors affecting learning these languages. The author analyses the variables discouraging motivation in the didactic process. She takes into account the aspects of global popularization of English, the student’s age at the start of learning both languages, the total number of lesson units in the compulsory educational process, and the physical and emotional growth of a student, in other words, the time of adolescence when the second language is introduced, as well as an element of intergenerational transmission defining the attitude towards learning German, Cognitive psychology, psychology of motivation and elements of neurolinguistics are deployed in order to provide a thorough review of the hindering factors.
