Abstract
A language learning system with automated user created content to mimic native language acquisition processes. The system replaces less appealing learning content with a student's favorite content to increase motivation to learn and by deemphasizing the goal to understand the content, it allows students to fully use their natural ability to listen and reproduce sounds, which are the most effective process for acquiring listening and speaking skills.
