Systems and methods for helping language learners learn more

Abstract

The invention includes a group of programs that help people learn languages. The programs include explanations of the grammatical rules of the language that a user is trying to learn, and statistical analyses of the types of errors that the individual user makes, and ways that these errors can be corrected. Most embodiments reinforce students' language learning using systems of visual displays, data graphics, and a “grammar of graphics”. The programs can be run on cellular phones, computers, and other electronic devices. The programs can be used by a student to learn a language, or by an instructor to augment a class being taught to students. Some embodiments also allow a student to preserve records of his or her progress and the types of errors that he or makes, between classes, allowing an instructor to tailor a class to the strengths and weaknesses of the students in the class.
