A quick preview of the first subtitles so you know what the video covers.
I recently became the first person ever as far as I can tell to learn to speak a language from scratch solely by practicing with AI and then I went and tested myself with total strangers to see how much I actually learned the backstory here is that my team and I have developed an artificial intelligence language teacher that's capable of teaching you a language just like a human would through real bilingual speech to speech conversation practice which any serious language learner will tell you his Far and Away the single most effective way to learn it's called teacher Ai and I decided to test it out see if it'd be capable of teaching me enough of a language from scratch that I'd be able to do all my daily activities like getting coffee or ordering a pizza in my target language I picked Portuguese as my target language for a bit of a challenge because I've never studied Portuguese before plus the co-founder of teacher AI is Brazilian and so I wanted to surprise him by speaking Portuguese as well and for this challenge I didn't study from any resources other than teacher Ai No textbooks no grammar resources no courses and no human speakers so I essentially needed to learn 100% of everything I needed to know EX exclusively from AI teacher AI right now so what I did was I switched the English setting to the highest level and just started learning some basic phrases to get a feel for the pronunciation of Portuguese hey I'm actually a total beginner so we might have to take it a little slow starting slow is perfectly fine we can start with greetings means hello how are you I wrote all the words and phrases I learned into a Google doc that would eventually come to Encompass 10 pages of notes well if somebody asks me K how do I say I'm good oh a a right didn't we do that a you're on the right track AR but the correct phrase ISO bang it means I'm good if I'm being honest at first my pronunciation was so bad that the teacher literally didn't understand me but over the next 11 days we went through an absolute Whirlwind of Portuguese this is my actual timestamped message log pulled from a database query showing the hundreds of messages I exchanged with AI over that time we studied grammar can we go over present continuous again I sometimes did lessons with no shirt on because I wasn't actually speaking with a real human being
