It is basically "free" knowledge (she simply wouldn't have it otherwise). What I found is that you learn a ton of vocab but that it will only "gel" with real world use. My first day trying to speak Spanish was rough. Day 2 it started to gel and I realized that I knew much more Spanish than I expected. Is my Spanish anywhere near perfect? Absolutely not but it is purely the product of a few minutes a day and it got me through living in Mexico where most people speak 0 English.

what matters in learning a language (the "hard" part) is being immersed enough in it that your brain automatically processes and generates it without you having to consciously think about it. you're never gonna get this via duolingo |
|
Date: April 30th, 2025 1:22 PM Author: Haunting Nursing Home Agreed, but without Duolingo or some other mechanism for getting the vocabulary the immersion isn't going to work either. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5718371&forum_id=2#48893779) |

LLM provides a lesson, paired with a video/audio generative model so the little shits will pay attention. this could be made more engaging than a typical lesson by asking for frequent feedback and evaluating responses. test scores go up as students get more individualized attention and are taught by something less retarded than the typical education major.

kids get a choice of a movie or tv show or another video that captures their interest from a selection.
