So this is the AI gold rush and of course this isn't the first AI language product I've seen of course. No hate to you or your product but I have a question.

If AI succeeds, will we even need language learning? Language learning is notoriously difficult and time-consuming. We're rapidly approaching a future like Star Trek of universal translators.

If so, what is the realistic future for AI language learning products?

I think so. Language learning is not just about practicality, it's about knowledge, culture, respect, and connection between people of different countries. If people have more free time and travel more, I expect language learning to grow.

Plus, you can't do auto translation for languages like Japanese where the grammar is reversed. Auto translation has fundamental limitations.

you cant create a machine that thinks like a human. machines have fundemental limitations
