A method for controlling an information processing device that outputs content created in a language to be learned as a learning content, the method comprising:

• a step of extracting, for each content, vocabulary used in one or each of a plurality of contents and comprising words, idioms or phrases in the language to be learned, wherein each of the phrases comprise a plurality of words;
• a step of recording vocabulary learned by a learner as first information;
• a step of specifying a level of understanding of the content of the learner as second information based on an extraction result and the recorded first information;
• a step of presenting the specified second information to the learner;
• and
• a step of performing control such that a selected content based on the presented second information is output as the learning content.

A computer program for allowing a computer to serve as an information processing device for outputting a content created in a language to be learned as a learning content, the computer program allows the computer to serve as the following:

• an extraction unit for extracting, for each content, vocabulary used in one or each of a plurality of contents and comprising words, idioms or phrases in the language to be learned, wherein each of the phrases comprise a plurality of words;
• a recording unit for recording vocabulary learned by a learner as first information;
• a specification unit for specifying a level of understanding of the content of the learner as second information based on an extraction result and the first information recorded by the recording unit;
• a presentation unit for presenting the specified second information to the learner;
• and
• a control unit for performing control such that a selected content based on the presented second information is output as the learning content.

An information processing device that is configured to be communicable with a mobile information terminal provided with an input unit for accepting input operation and outputs content created in a language to be learned to the mobile information terminal as a learning content, the device comprising:

• an extraction unit for extracting, for each content, vocabulary used in one or each of a plurality of contents and comprising words, idioms or phrases in the language to be learned, wherein each of the phrases comprise a plurality of words;
• a recording unit for recording vocabulary learned by a learner as first information;
• a specification unit for specifying a level of understanding of the content of the learner as second information based on an extraction result and the first information recorded by the recording unit;
• a presentation unit for presenting the specified second information to the learner;
• and
• a control unit for performing control such that a selected content based on the presented second information is output as the learning content.
