I built an app that teaches French by generating "cognateful" sentences: French text that English speakers can partially understand through cognate words, with difficulty automatically calibrated using LLMs to score sentence comprehensibility.

The project shows how AI can automate the creation of comprehensible input for language learning, replacing the traditional approach where native speakers manually craft thousands of carefully sequenced sentences.
