Thanks for sharing, but if I don't know a language, how is having a tool translate it going to help me learn the language? Are you suggesting this only for those with a moderate knowledge of the language already? And what about those of us that don't have friends to grade us in a language? Without it, the automated translation may be wrong, and I'd be learning incorrect information.

I'd like to learn other languages quickly, but in past experience, conversational/immersion is the only way to go to get anything useful, and I don't have that ability or the time to persue it. Really the only time I have is the 1-1.5 hours in the car everyday- that is not enough and I have no one to converse with, and I'm an introvert anyway, so I don't want to talk to people typically.
