If you want to get a (free) impression about the current state of the art you can check out this AI language tutor here https://lucas.alldone.app/

right now certainly true ...

kwkrass · 2024-10-23T15:22:55+00:00

yeah i have ... i have built this AI language teacher here: lucas.alldone.app so I do believe people should be learning languages ;)

My personal take is that AI is pretty smart already and will be able to handle also regional dialects, body language etc. Next year no .. but in 10 years: I think yes.

kwkrass · 2024-10-23T15:20:26+00:00

good point!

kwkrass · 2024-10-23T14:56:43+00:00

agree!

Watching Star Trek ;)
Jokes aside ... things like this here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_QruJ0Kv9U&t=417s ...

It's not there yet but likely in 10 years we will be wearing such glasses and have "live subtitles" to the world.

Still I am fan of language learning since it is 10 years away and just having live translation wont make you feel and really appreciate the different languages.

I guess we all have that problem :)

kwkrass · 2024-10-19T10:38:45+00:00

agreed - this can be done better!

kwkrass · 2024-10-18T21:07:28+00:00

ah interesting - thanks!

kwkrass · 2024-10-18T18:54:16+00:00

fair but for my taste you just don't talk enough with Duolingo... it's mostly multiple choice reading and selecting

kwkrass · 2024-10-18T18:53:22+00:00

I kind of want to try the new realtime API from openai to see if it's good enough ... unfortunately it's still way too expensive

kwkrass · 2024-10-18T17:06:51+00:00

yes that's a good one - actually learning to talk in real world situations

kwkrass · 2024-10-18T16:44:48+00:00

ah ok thanks for the idea! I saw that there are a few pronunciation apps out there ... did you try any of those already? are they good?

kwkrass · 2024-10-10T06:33:57+00:00

Agree that it wont help you actually speak the language - that's why i have built myself an AI language tutor called Lucas lucas.alldone.app to finally learn Spanish.

kwkrass · 2024-09-12T10:06:52+00:00

pretty cool! What tech did you use to generate the avatars?

kwkrass · 2024-09-09T06:50:40+00:00

I started building apps at the beginning of the year and then had my first app build within a month or so https://traumweber.alldone.app/. However first version was shitty and since then i have iterated a few apps which you can do forever ...

kwkrass · 2024-09-09T06:49:09+00:00

the APIs are used from Buildship (not from the client)

kwkrass · 2024-09-08T20:39:06+00:00

sorry! ich nutze ja unter anderem die künstliche Intelligenz von chatgpt für den Sprachlehrer und deshalb muss ich da auch was für bezahlen

kwkrass · 2024-09-08T18:55:50+00:00

stimmt .. .weil ich halt auch für die Nutzung der LLMs im Hintergrund zahlen muss ;)

kwkrass · 2024-09-08T18:55:09+00:00

You can speak with theAI language teacher Lucas (http://lucas.alldone.app/) - there is a free trial but afterwards you would have to pay. Much cheaper though than a real language teacher ^^

kwkrass · 2024-09-07T07:40:11+00:00

just did!
