System, method, computer program and data set which are intended to facilitate language learning by means of sound identification

A method for facilitating language learning, said method being executed upon one or more computerized systems, wherein

• said method is used upon samples of a target language, wherein each of said samples is called in this invention ORIGINAL EXTRACT,
• said target language is a foreign language or is the native language of the learner,
• wherein said method comprises the steps of:
• a) displaying one or more BLIND EXTRACTS in computer monitor for at least one of said original extracts, wherein
• a blind extract is a graphical entity whose fragments have certain correspondence with fragments of an original extract, said original extract being associated to said blind extract,
• a blind extract is made up of one or more fragments,
• the fragments of a blind extract are created by replacing the sounds of said fragments of said original extract by graphical objects that are different from the letters associated to said sounds in said target language,
• b) preventing the user from watching text that represents said language sample while the user is watching said blind extract,
• c) choosing at least a fragment of a blind extract by using a computer interaction device, wherein said fragment is associated to a fragment of an original extract,
• d) said computerized system generating and providing information about said fragment of an original extract which is associated to said fragment of a blind extract,
• and wherein at least two of the linguistic entities which are included in said sample of target language and which have different pronunciation from each other are represented by graphical objects which display the same information, wherein a linguistic entity is an entity of any of the following plurality of types:
• sentences, phrases, words, syllables, or phonemes,
• and wherein said steps is performed in isolation or as a complement to other language orientated system, for facilitating foreign language learning or for correcting a problem in the utilization of the native language.

A non transitory computer readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors one or more computers, allows said one of more processors to perform the following steps:

• a) managing samples of a target language, wherein each of said samples is called in this invention ORIGINAL EXTRACT, wherein said target language is a foreign language or is the native language of the learner,
• b) displaying one or more BLIND EXTRACTS for at least one of said original extracts,
• wherein
• a blind extract is a graphical entity whose fragments have certain correspondence with fragments of an original extract, said original extract being associated to said blind extract,
• a blind extract is made up of one or more fragments,
• the fragments of a blind extract are created by replacing the sounds of said fragments of said original extract by graphical objects that are different from the letters associated to said sounds in said target language,
• c) preventing the user from watching text that represents said language sample while the user is watching said blind extract,
• d) choosing at least a fragment of a blind extract of said blind extracts wherein said fragment is associated to a fragment of an original extract of said original extracts,
• e) generating information about said fragment of an original extract which is associated to said fragment of a blind extract,
• and wherein at least two of the linguistic entities which are included in said sample of target language and which have different pronunciation from each other are represented by graphical objects which display the same information, wherein a linguistic entity is an entity of any of the following plurality of types:
• sentences, phrases, words, syllables, or phonemes,
• and wherein said steps is performed in isolation or as a complement to other language orientated system, for facilitating foreign language learning or for correcting a problem in the utilization of the native language.

A non transitory computer readable medium containing a data set that, when interpreted by one or more processors of one or more computers, allows said one of more processors to perform the following steps:

• the fragments of a blind extract are created by replacing the sounds of said fragments of said original extract by graphical objects that are different from the letters associated to said sounds in said target language,
• c) preventing the user from watching text that represents said language sample while the user is watching said blind extract,
• d) choosing at least a fragment of a blind extract of said blind extracts wherein said fragment is associated to a fragment of an original extract of said original extracts,
• e) generating information about said fragment of an original extract which is associated to said fragment of a blind extract,
• and wherein at least two of the linguistic entities which are included in said sample of target language and which have different pronunciation from each other are represented by graphical objects which display the same information, wherein a linguistic entity is an entity of any of the following plurality of types:
