Abstract: Systems and methods for teaching a user a language using media content are provided. Translation prompts may be automatically presented to the user as the user listens to music on a computing device. The translation prompts may present a question to the user asking the user to translate a lyric in the music. The translation prompts may be personalized for the user based on the user's skill level and language learning needs. Music may also be selected for the user based on the user's music taste and the music having lyrics that are appropriate for the user's skill level and language learning needs.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for syllable-based pronunciation help are provided. An input text in a first language may be received. A selection of a target language that is different from the first language may be received. From the target language, syllables with a pronunciation most closely matching a pronunciation of the input text in the first language are obtained. The obtaining is based on a comparison of one or more spectrograms for the input text with one or more spectrograms for text of the target language. The obtained syllables in the target language are presented.

Abstract: A computer processing system is provided for enhancing video-based language learning. The system includes a video server for storing videos that use one or more languages to be learned. The system further includes a video metadata database for storing translations of sentences uttered in the videos, character profiles of characters appearing in the videos, and mappings between the sentences and a learner profile. The system also includes a learner profile database for storing learner profiles. The system additionally includes a semantic analyzer and matching engine for finding, for at least a given video and a given learner, alternative sentences for and responsive to the translations of the sentences uttered in the given video that conflict with a respective learner profile for the given learner. The computer processing system further includes a presentation system for playing back the given video and providing the alternative sentences to the given learner.

Abstract: A technology for assessing foreign language pronunciation of a non-native learner is provided. The foreign language pronunciation assessment technology includes training an end-to-end speech recognizer with native speaker data, tuning the trained end-to-end speech recognizer with non-native speaker data, training a scoring module on the basis of the finely tuned end-to-end speech recognizer, and calculating, by the trained scoring module, a prediction score for non-native speaker speech input when the non-native speaker speech is input to the tuned end-to-end speech recognizer.

Abstract: Provided is a system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more processors effectuate operations comprising dividing a text of a plurality of words in a foreign language into one or more Interpretation Phrases, each of the Interpretation Phrases being made of one or more words chosen at an optimal composition for a user to listen to, read along, and maintain comprehension and engagement, wherein the optimal composition is determined based on the biographical data of the user and the historical usage by the user; reading aloud the first Interpretation Phrase by a narrator; and after reading aloud the first Interpretation Phrase, interpreting aloud the first Interpretation Phrase into the said user's native language to provide understanding of the Interpretation Phrase in the user's native language, to maintain the flow of the story, and to create and promote subconscious associations between native and foreign language words.

Abstract: Methods for automated generation of speech sample asset production scores for users of a distributed language learning system, automated accent recognition and quantification and improved speech recognition. Utilising a trained supervised machine learning module which is trained utilising a training set comprising a plurality of production speech sample asset recordings, associated production scores generated by system users performing perception exercises and user background information. The trained supervised machine learning module may be configured for automated accent recognition, by feeding a candidate production speech sample asset so as to automate the generation of a speech sample asset production score and user background information. As such, the user background information may be translated into an accent type categorisation and the speech sample asset production score may be translated into an accent strength. In further embodiments, the accent type categorisation generated using the trained system may be utilised for improved speech recognition.
