Pengkai Pan on Saybot Language Learning Software

The hardest part about learning a foreign language is finding someone to have conversations with. You can practice in front of the mirror all day, but until you talk to someone and know they understand what you’re saying, you don’t really know if you’ve learned anything. Shanghai-based Saybot is addressing this with software designed to teach native Mandarin speakers English with a combination of speech recognition and analysis of common speech errors to correct misused words and improper pronunciation. At DEMO China, Jake spoke with Pengkai Pan, Founder and CEO of Saybot about how the software works and how it changes the way people learn a new language.

You can read more about Saybot in Jake’s coverage of DEMO China.

Hi Chris,

No I don’t think the hardest part of language learning is finding someone to have conversations with. The hardest part of foreign language learning is remembering the language.

Check out http://language101.com It’s a spaced repetition program that’s easy to use and has fun lessons like movie clips and songs.
