I'm neither, but I tried learning Spanish from a "language teacher" and it didn't work. I'm not alone. I've spoke to dozens who had the same experience.

Years later I learned from people with the same method I described.

The AI models (large LANGUAGE models) of today seem very close to replicating that experience.

Try telling ChatGPT with voice mode "let us talk about X in [pick language]... Correct me when I'm wrong and explain why".

I'm curious where you think it's failing.

What do you feel is missing to replicate a good language teacher?
