On the same day that Duolingo launched its AI-powered language course, Google introduced Little Language Lessons, a web app for simple and fast language teaching (in the style of Duolingo). Created entirely with Gemini.
Little Language Lessons consists of 3 bite-sized learning experiments:
– Tiny Lesson teaches essential vocabulary in various topics, such as how to call a taxi in German or how to ask for directions in Chinese.
– Slang Hang practices reading aloud from conversations in the desired language, listening to the pronunciation, and reading along.
– Word Cam uses images to aid learning, utilizing Gemini’s power to separate words from the mobile camera and display them in the target language.
People may wonder if it will compete with Duolingo. Google explicitly stated that Little Language Lessons is an experimental project under Google Labs aimed at demonstrating the creation of apps using the Gemini API only.
The background example of creating the Tiny Lesson website involves programming.
TLDR: Google introduces Little Language Lessons, a simple and fast language teaching web app utilizing the Gemini API for experimental purposes.
