Google has another lab experiment that can help you learn a language with AI assistance, of course. The idea of learning a language like this isn’t new, but I do appreciate that they have a section that allows you to learn regional slang (not just the textbook words that people sometimes don’t use).
The experiment is hosted at labs.google/lll for now. It’s hard to know with their experiments if things will stay in the same place or get removed completely.
Once you connect, you can do -
- A “Tiny Lesson” (in line with the “little” language lesson I suppose)
- A Slang Hang
- Gemini will generate a conversation between native speakers that includes slang words or phrases
- A Word Cam where you can take a picture and learn how to talk about what’s in the frame
I won’t go through all of it here since that wouldn’t keep this as a “quick tip” but I’ll show some of a Slang Hang since I think that is the rarest feature.
After you select Slang Hang, you get to choose which language you want to learn.
Then you select a regional dialect which makes sense for slang
After that you generate your conversation. It may take a minute. Also, if it fails, try to generate again. If it keeps failing you may need to try again later.
The slang will be underlined and, if you mouse over it, it will tell you what it means.
You can translate any part of the conversations and also continue them for as long as you want (or until Gemini stops generating more).
It’s an interesting experiment that I think has a lot of real-world applications (i.e., communicating with remote co-workers, learning a language before travelling, etc.)
Give it a try!
