Idea or High Level Concept
Cinelingo teaches -aural- foreign language comprehension using science based methods, with comprehensible input generated by AI.
Traction and Current Status
Our pedagogical approach has been approved by a PhD language acquisition expert, our app prototype has been built, and our genAI framework for generating comprehensible input (video) is developed.
Our current fundraise is so that we can build the content to power the first 1,000 words of language learning -- ~2000 words language represent roughly ~90% of spoken content.
Problem or Opportunity
Foreign language comprehension. We want you to be able to understand a language when you hear it -- after two years of app-based study, the majority of foreign language learners score only twenty percent on listening comprehension.
Solution
Our approach is multifaceted, but the core of it is - we help a learner acquire a language by exposure. "Comprehensible Input" -- we can scaffolding a learner's vocabulary by progressively increasing the complexity of content they receive.
We use AI to monitor their progression, and GenAI to help generate some of the content they consume, making cinematic clips tuned to their comprehension level.
