That's a real 'boys who likes toys' answer. 

All that requires set-up, tuition and a lot of running around working
out the bits you need and then finding them, signing up to & logging
on the the right providers and lots of other nonsense. 

Ok, I'll admit, it's the route I'd probably take but my gf just wants
to be able to type emails wherever she is to whoever she wants in the
language she prefers and in a manner similar to what she's already at
least fairly familiar with.
