The paper focuses on organizing the educational process based on the example of learning a foreign language. First, we demonstrated the research relevance and highlighted the basics of successful distance learning. Then, we examined the concept of “comfort” in the educational process as the main component of effective learning. We also studied the psychological comfort in distance learning. The paper aims to identify the degree of comfort of the learning environment in a distant format to develop practical recommendations. Furthermore, we used questionnaires to determine the level of tension in the educational process, which is the opposite value of comfort: the higher the tension of students, the lower their comfort. Following S. V. Levchenko, we compiled the general emotional portrait of students’ attitudes to distance learning. The survey involved 87 students. Using statistical methods, we interpreted the results to make practical recommendations on organizing the learning process online most efficiently. The importance of psychological comfort as the primary mechanism in the organization of education, including distance learning, was emphasized.
