SLV | Episode 28 | Job Changes, AI in Language Learning, and Apple Shortcuts for Language Learners

Episode 28 of the Language Vlog Podcast! Job changing in China! Returning to the classroom after years of remote work?! What does this shift mean, and how does it impact personal routines and career goals?

We also look into the future of language learning with AI, exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way we learn AND TEACH languages. From AI-driven teachers to personalized chatbots, we consider some of the ways that these new technologies may revolutionize (or replace) traditional language instruction.

Futher, we discuss a little about developing an APP for a more personalized language learning experience, particularly how AI tools can help both the teacher and the student.

Finally, we offer three Apple Shortcuts designed to help streamline language learning, including tools for daily vocabulary, note-taking, and reading comprehension. These free resources are available via this week’s newsletter and podcast show notes!

1. Word of the Day in Chinese – Pulls a word from Merriam-Webster, translates it into Mandarin, provides example sentences, creates a note, and reads it aloud. Access the Shortcut here: Word of the Day in Chinese
2. Add Word to Notes and Reminders – Highlights a word, analyzes its grammar, provides examples, and saves it in Notes while reading it aloud. Access the Shortcut here: Add Word to Notes and Reminders
3. Apple News in Russian – Fetches two recent articles, summarizes and translates them into simple Russian, then saves the result in Notes and reads it out loud. Access the Shortcut here: Apple News in Russian
