Google Turns Into a Language Tutor With This New Labs Experiment
1 min read
Summary
Google has launched an experimental tool called Little Language Lessons within its Google Labs platform, which uses AI to help educate learners on new languages in a more context-driven way.
Rather than the more standard vocabulary lists and repetitive grammar exercises, the tool offers three short lessons that aim to replicate everyday situations and complement traditional language learning.
These include Tiny Lessons, which places the user into simulated conversations and adapts to the tone and grammar required, and Word Cam, which identifies objects in photos and teaches the user the vocabulary to describe them.
Slang Hang teaches learners the more colloquial language and idioms within a chosen language through interactive stories.
As it is still an experiment, there is no confirmation yet on when Little Language Lessons will be more broadly available or if it will at all.
