#2Questions for creator:
Is this supposed to teach absolute beginners? Or do you assume some knowledge of the language already?
Is it a comprehensive course, or should it be used as a supplement to a course?

It is rather for people who knows some basics, but would like to improve their language. It is necessary to be able to chat at least at some basic level.

#4I'm curious how much effort goes into the management of these LLM backed language tools? I'm learning a less popular language (Dutch) and almost none of them support the it out of the box. Is this a marketing decision? What is the overhead to add support for a new language?

#5I have a feeling that soon we will stop learning new languages to communicate with others because real-time AI translation will be so good, and we'll learn languages in a vacuum for intellectual amusement only, barely getting past the A2 level due to the lack of true human stimulation in the activity. This tool is certainly a step in that direction, and it strikes me as a great loss to humanity because we are losing our diversity. It just makes no sense to equalize all possible abilities over all human beings so we have nothing to offer each other.

#6The demo video was giving me motion sickness.
Usually language is about talking to communicate... This seems more of typing.

By that token, nobody needs math today because computers do it for us.

Yeah, my interest was piqued by the title but that demo video torpedoed it... Which is such a bummer because language learning is a perfect use case for LLMs

I have a feeling that soon we will have models which will predict the future better than humans and then the humans will stop predicting it and we will lose all insights into how to predict the future. at least the models will not make mistakes. /s
