I think that learning English will become much better in the future, and I think that future is soon.

I think AI and Mixed Reality will soon help to create better virtual tutors, and cool virtual learning environments.

The future looks bright for English learning!

TRANSCRIPT:
(Full transcript right here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qnySjEwROOMUWfX7No7AT5HC8Us4kkm5?usp=sharing )

Well, hello everyone, and welcome to this English lesson, which isn't really an English lesson. It's more just Bob's thoughts on what the future of learning English will look like. I think there's a couple of things that are going to change what it's like to learn a language in the future, and I just want to talk about each of them for a bit, so hopefully you find this video interesting.

The first thing I want to talk about is AI I and you might think, Bob, you're late to the party. AI was a big thing a year ago. We've been using AI already to learn English and I think you're probably right. I'm a little late to the party, but I don't think AI is where it's at yet in terms of a tool. I think it's very useful. I think it's awesome. But I think what the future holds is something even cooler. Eventually I think you will have a personalized English language AI tutor. I think it's probably about six months to a year away. Someone will invent it, or maybe it exists already and you can tell me in the comments below.

But I think eventually you will have a tutor that you talk to every day, that you write to every day and writes back to you that you can have conversations with. Like you can actually talk and hear the AI tutor and it will study and correct your English speaking. I think the AI tutor will simulate different conversations with you. It will simulate being at a restaurant, it will simulate buying gas at a gas station. It will do all kinds of really cool things like that to help you practice your English conversation. And hopefully it's really, really cheap. I hope it doesn't cost a lot of money. So I think that's where AI is really going to shine. Once we have an AI that is tailored to you, an AI that knows what you know and what you don't know, and then is able to help you get better at speaking English. And so I think that'll be really cool. It'll be cool when an AI tells you, hey, you made that mistake yesterday, let's practice it a bit more in a really friendly tone in a way that doesn't make you feel bad for making that mistake.

So I think that's somewhere in the future. I think right now AI is really cool for generating stories, helping you learn vocabulary, having little written conversations. But I think the future is going to be cooler when it actually remembers who you are and helps you every step along the way, making the conversation just a little more challenging. Can you imagine an AI that helps you learn three or four new words every time you talk to it and intentionally uses them in the conversation and teaches you the meaning. That would be very cool.

The second way I think the future of English learning is going to change is with VR, virtual reality, or augmented reality, or mixed reality. There are a lot of names for it. But when I see the videos with the Apple Vision Pro headset, and when I see what can be done with it, I think we're looking into a future soon where you'll be able to see things around you that aren't in reality, and then the headset can help you learn those things. I can imagine, along with an AI simulating actually going into a restaurant and ordering your food and having your food brought to you, all virtually of course. And then maybe they bring you the wrong food, and then you can ask the server for the right food.

So I think v
