Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to foreign language instruction and translation methods. A system is provided which utilizes tonal and rhythm visualization components to allow a person to “see” their words as they attempt to speak a foreign language or a specific regional dialect. The system is also applicable to foreign language translation systems and allows students to improve their pronunciation by responding to visual feedback which incorporates both color and shape. The system may comprise a step-by-step instruction method, along with recording and playback features. Certain embodiments incorporate statistical analysis of student progress, remote access for teacher consultation, and video games for enhancing student interest.
