Making a Chatbot that Teaches Languages
There are 6,500 languages in the world.
That means that 7.8 billion people, including you and me, have 6,500 different ways to communicate. 🌏 In a world where we can go the other side of the planet in 13 hours by plane, and we’re all connected through two taps on a phone, how much of the world’s population can actually speak more than one language?
Half
That means half of 7.8 billion people cant even communicate with anyone outside of their own culture.
Not only do we need to be able to communicate with each other to survive, it is also so important in understanding the culture of other people.
But, how do we begin to tackle this? What is the most convenient way to make language learning easier?
My solution is Artificial Intelligence. More specifically, Natural Language Processing. In my most recent project, I have programmed a chatbot that supports second language acquisition through conversation.
