I love technology and language learning! In this video, i look at today's AI and imagine the impact it will have on language learning in the future.
I tried out HeyGen to see what I would look and sound like speaking Tamil (and American English). It's a tool that can have a huge impact on confidence and accuracy in pronunciation. Now that it's possible to speak to ChatGPT, I had a chat in French, Spanish and Chinese and then asked it to teach me some Danish, Swahili, Xhose and Irish. This is just the beginning! One day, AI tools will be able to design the perfect language learning experience customised to individual learners.
