Podcasts about Memrise

Für diese Episode habe ich kostenlose Apps zum Sprachenlernen ausführlich getestet. Wie gut sind Duolingo, Memrise oder Busuu zum Deutschlernen? Welche Vorteile bieten die Apps und was sind die Schwächen? Es wird außerdem der Frage nachgegangen, für wen die einzelnen Apps geeignet sind. In der Kategorie "Wort des Podcasts" geht es um das Wort Hochburg und in der Kategorie Redewendung wird erläutert, was "keine großen Sprünge machen können" bedeutet.Viel Vergnügen!Music content: - Aesthetic Boomopera - Podcast LoFi Lounge intro Music (15s) Seconds by Lidérc, source: Pixabay- Taste of saxophone by Fresh_Morning, source: Pixabay- Strings Bright Jingle - FMA Podcast Suggestion by Serge Quadrado, source: Free Music Archive, license type (CC BY-SA) 

We're certain you're experiencing this feeling as well - it's as if we're finally living in the world that was promised to us by science fiction movies. To be fair, AI has evolved into Artificial Intelligence that is indeed intelligent. While it lacks consciousness, the distinction between the two would be a topic for a separate conversation on another podcast. Today, I've invited Steve to assist app brands in understanding this complex landscape of Generative AI. Our goal is to empower you to make informed decisions about which AI tools to utilize, avoid common pitfalls, comprehend the skill sets your team requires, and more. Today's topics include: How to evaluate AI tools without getting lost in comparisons between models The most common mistake people make trying to integrate AI into their work Given AI influence, what skill sets development teams need to develop What role will "middle layer" tools play in AI adoption Advice to leaders trying to help their teams adapt to rapid AI changes Links and Resources: Steve Toy on LinkedIn Memrise website Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Steve Toy “You don't really care about the performance metrics of all the different models out there. What matters is whether it can do the job you need it to do well and effectively.” “The biggest mistake is not understanding the job to be done. If you just bring tools into your system without a clear goal, you end up as the proverbial hammer wandering around looking for a nail.” “Expertise is actually less important in this world. What separates those who succeed with AI from those who don't is perseverance — the willingness to go one more round” Host Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry since 2012

Das klingt nach einer echten Herausforderung – aber mit maximalem Fokus, Speedlearning und richtigem Mindset kann man in 3 Tagen zumindest eine solide Basis in einer neuen Sprache schaffen. Nicht fließend, aber funktional: verstehen, einfache Sätze bilden, erste Gespräche führen. So können wir das gemeinsam schaffen: Bevor's losgeht: Was genau willst du können nach 3 Tagen? - Alltagssprache? (z. B. reisen, Smalltalk) - Berufssprache? (z. B. Meetings) - Nur passives Verstehen oder auch aktiv sprechen?

Leaving his smartphone at home, what features would Steve miss most? What features he would like to see added to his smartphone? Links and Resources: Steve Toy on LinkedIn Memrise Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Steve Toy: "Well, I will tell you that we are probably still working on overcoming the biggest challenge that has been brought to us by all of this amazing technology. And that is unbelievable freedom, right? We now, because of what we've deployed, have given people the freedom to learn the words that matter to them, not the words that we decide in any given course." "The first axis I alluded to earlier, is heretofore in school or in any course that you might take or in any of the other apps, you learn words in a certain order. Right? You're just marching everybody through the first 100, 200, 500, 1 ,000 words in the same order because you're marching everybody in lockstep to be able to interact with certain content and certain tasks. But we don't have to do that. We have fully atomized dictionaries because no matter what words you know, we can start to run you into other experiences. And so that's the first level of personalization is let you decide why you want to learn a language." Host Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry since 2012

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How to be an amateur polyglot, published by arisAlexis on May 10, 2024 on LessWrong. Setting the stage Being a polyglot is a problem of definition first. Who can be described as a polyglot? At what level do you actually "speak" the given language? Some sources cite that polyglot means speaking more than 4 languages, others 6. My take is it doesn't matter. I am more interested in the definition of when you speak the language. If you can greet and order a coffee in 20 languages do you actually speak them? I don't think so. Do you need to present a scientific document or write a newspaper worthy article to be considered? That's too much. I think the best definition would be that you can go out with a group of native speakers, understand what they are saying and participate in the discussion that would range from everyday stuff to maybe work related stuff and not switching too often to English nor using google translate. It's ok to pause and maybe ask for a specific word or ask the group if your message got across. This is what I am aiming for when I study a specific language. Why learn a foreign language when soon we will have AI auto-translate from our glasses and other wearables? This is a valid question for work related purposes but socially it's not. You can never be interacting with glasses talking in another language while having dinner with friends nor at a date for example. The small things that make you part of the culture are hidden in the language. The respect and the motivation to blend in is irreplaceable. For reference here are the languages I speak at approximate levels: Greek - native English - proficient (C2) Spanish - high level (C1) active learning French - medium level (B2) active learning Italian - coffee+ level (B1) active learning Dutch - survival level (A2) in hibernation Get started Firstly, I think the first foreign language you learn could be taught in a formal way with an experienced teacher. That will teach you the way to structure your thought process and learn how to learn efficiently. It's common in Europe and non-English speaking countries to learn a second language at school. This guide is not about how to learn formally though. It's about how to take up new foreign languages without a *permanent teacher (I will expand later). One of the most important things when learning a language is motivation. You either love the culture, the language itself (how it sounds and reads), a loved one or you are moving there or doing a long term stay. If you hate the language, it is mandatory that you learn it but you'd rather not then none of this will work. I found that to be the case with Dutch where while I did like the culture, I found the language pretty bad sounding (almost ridiculous hhh-hhh sounds) - sorry if you are Dutch. That resulted in me learning the minimum in 7 years while I picked up Italian in a summer. Now that you found your calling let's proceed. Methods & Tools I wholeheartedly recommend Memrise as an app for learning. It's vastly better than Duolingo and much less repetitive and boring. It reminds you of words you have forgotten at regular intervals utilizing the spaced repetition learning techniques. It's much more focused in everyday interactions and their unique selling point is videos of random people. It's genius that they are asking native speakers on the street to pronounce words and phrases for you. Having a visual reference makes it much more engaging and sticks. In my experience, trying to learn a new word takes maybe 10 fictional time units and if I am in a real conversation and someone corrects me, it takes just that time and I will forever remember the face of the person correcting me and the place. In a smaller degree that's how memrise works. But we need to be a bit more structured. After learning everyday phrases ...

In this episode, host Jeremy Goldman explores the fascinating intersection of AI, education, and language learning with his guest Steve Toy, the CEO of Memrise - a renowned language learning app. Toy, who has an extensive background in technology, mobile apps, and artificial intelligence, shares his insights on the transformative power AI can have in enhancing how we acquire new languages.He explains how AI enables personalized learning experiences by tailoring content to individual interests, filtering multimedia resources based on one's vocabulary level, and facilitating conversational practice through AI-powered chatbots. These capabilities essentially allow learners to replicate the immersive experience of being in the native country. Toy also highlights AI's role in providing valuable tools like pronunciation feedback and vocabulary games to cement learning.While acknowledging the ethical considerations around ensuring equitable access to AI across different markets to prevent widening socioeconomic gaps, Toy remains optimistic that freemium models can help democratize access to some extent. Beyond the practical applications, he emphasizes the broader cognitive, social, and career benefits of becoming multilingual. Most importantly, Toy believes learning languages fosters cross-cultural understanding - something vitally needed in today's increasingly divisive world. His perspective offers an inspiring vision for AI's potential to transform not just language acquisition but also cross-cultural connections.

Balancing user feedback and founder-level insights is crucial for product development. Understanding the changing customer insights and adapting to them can lead to business success. Timing played a significant role in Memrise's success with AI integration. Resources: Memrise NxtStep Podcast Chef Connect with Ben Whately:LinkedInConnect with our host, Sean Boyce: LinkedIn Email Quotables: 12:18 - “The reason that we unlocked growth was that we got onto mobile early enough that there were only two or three other mobile language learning apps. Apple and Google have to keep featuring different ones. We got on there early enough that we got big featuring early. We then got really good at working with Google and really understanding how to give the Google team the information that they want. Google is so metrics-driven that the more you can show them how they are building things that are helping you to grow your business, the more the internal team in Google can show off to their bosses, Hey look, this is how Google, this is how we work. Look at the great impact we had. And that allows you to get more visibility.” 15:56 - “So for us, the big growth channel was getting in the app stores early enough and then SEO taking over later on. We've never been able to compete with Duolingo or Babbel on marketing spend. They spend tens, hundreds of millions. I think our marketing spend last month was probably like $4,000. Like we just don't spend money on it, it's all organic. But we reach a point where we're like, we've got two massive gorillas in the room, and Duolingo and Babbel who are spending a huge amount and getting massive traction on that. It sucks a lot of the air out of the room.” 25:46 - “Clearly, generative AI is a way, that allows us to create tools there that you can practice with in a way that had never been possible before. So that's really been the kind of renaissance for Memrise, being another platform shift, getting into AI, Generative AI, before anyone else was there and applying it in all these different ways.” 19:33 - “I actually now see this a lot in companies that I advise where you're trying to get this balance between really good product and growth thinking where you're talking to your users all the time, you're understanding what it is they want, you're testing things really, really quickly. Particularly growth experiments have to be super fast. You want to be doing five iterations a week and getting them out with this idea of we've actually got to build something that's quite fundamentally different.”  27:20 - “I feel like that's another key takeaway here is people expect people like you and I, in terms of the products that we're building to have a plan hammered out all the way through in terms of how we're going to get there. But a lot of it keeps going. Build yourself a sustainable path to be able to continue to keep going and then take advantage of the opportunities that come at you from wherever. Just like this one I've used the AI stuff that you guys are building and Memrise. It's fantastic and it really does create much more of that immersive experience.” Free Email Course How to Build a Profitable AI-Powered B2B SaaS Business for Less Than $750 - https://nxtstep.io/b2bsaasConnect with Sean Subscribe to my YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@nxtstepsean Connect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-boyce/ Notes generated by Podcast Show Notes  (podcastshownotes.ai)

In this enlightening episode of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, Neil delves into the world of language learning with Steve Toy, the CEO of Memrise. A name synonymous with innovation in education, artificial intelligence, and mobile applications, Steve Toy's journey is nothing short of inspiring. The conversation kicks off with an introduction to Memrise, a powerful language learning app with over 65 million users. Steve unveils MemBot, their latest innovation—an AI language chatbot powered by ChatGPT technology. This ground-breaking tool provides a friendly, encouraging language partner that aids learners in overcoming the daunting prospect of speaking a new language for the very first time. Steve then elaborates on MemBot's unique features, such as providing hints, translations, and suggested responses. It's more than just a tool; it's a safe space that offers all of the practice with none of the pressure. Steve passionately discusses how Memrise has used technology to personalize content, offering immediate feedback to users. The integration of videos from platforms like YouTube and TikTok, matched with words and phrases each user knows, brings a fresh perspective to language learning. The conversation turns reflective as we discuss the importance of continuous self-education and staying abreast with tech trends. Steve emphasizes the value of self-learning through free resources and the effectiveness of Memrise for language acquisition. But this technological advancement doesn't come without its concerns. We also touch on the challenges and negative aspects of AI in education. While AI offers highly engaging learning experiences, questions about it potentially replacing human interaction and ethical considerations in AI use are thoughtfully examined. Finally, they explore MemBot's ability to attract users with varied interests, personalizing their learning experiences, much like how Netflix recommends movies and TV shows. Steve also shares Memrise's future plans, underlining their vision of scaling language immersion digitally.  

Ben Whately is the Chief Strategy Officer and co-founder of Memrise. A psychologist by education, with a Masters in Experimental Psychology from Oxford where he focused on neural networks and computational modeling of human learning, Ben has spent the last 15 years looking at ways to learn and teach languages.While at Oxford, Ben became fascinated by how we learn languages. In the past, he'd always been able to pass language exams, but would find himself totally unable to actually use the language abroad. While studying psychology, he formed a theory for why this is, and Memrise has been a journey of bringing that theory into reality. He believes that people fundamentally learn languages to connect with other people or because they are enamoured of the culture of that language, and Memrise strives to embody this experience of connection.Building on his neuroscience and language acquisition background, Ben pioneered the use of LLMs to create the world's first AI language partner using GPT-3 technology, Membot. Ben is also a prolific angel investor, investing in and advising more than 50 companies in the UK startup ecosystem, with a focus on AI, machine learning and climate tech.Recommended Resources:Language Learning on Memrise

I am so excited for todays show! We are talking with Lindsay who is a language consultant. Coming in the end of our PCS series, I thought it would be a cool topic for those military families who might be getting stationed overseas this PCS season.If you didn't know it yet, the military does NOT provide any language services or learning for mil spouses. You are on your own! So what is the best method to become socially fluent in a new language as quickly as possible?#1 is don't panic! Lindsay shares with us her list of essential vocabulary, I'll provide the link below as well. A lot of apps and programs start you off with the basics of the language, but thats not going to help you navigate through a city. Those essential or useful phrases will be much more helpful in the short term. Lindsay also recommends listening to music or podcasts in the new language prior to getting overseas. Often times a new language or the sounds of it can be jarring. By exposing yourself to the language as much as possible prior to getting there, will make it a much smoother transition to the new language, and make you more comfortable. If your looking for a deeper dive or to get more proficient Lindsay recommends finding a tutor or teacher and gives some resources for that or finding maybe another spouse heading the same way and starting a study group or just some extra accountability with another person, sometimes they might understand something before you do and can help you get it. Free Podcast List: https://www.lindsaydoeslanguages.com/podcastlistFree Resource List: https://www.lindsaydoeslanguages.com/ultimatelistFree Essential Vocab: https://www.lindsaydoeslanguages.com/vocablistFree Language Starter Pages: https://www.lindsaydoeslanguages.com/starterpagesAll the options to learn with me, inc Language Life & Music Maestro that I mentioned: https://www.lindsaydoeslanguages.com/learn-with-lindsay-does-languages/Drops: https://languagedrops.com/Duolingo: https://www.duolingo.com/Memrise: https://www.memrise.com/uTalk: https://utalk.com/enLive Lingua: https://www.livelingua.com/projectitalki: https://www.lindsaydoeslangu Support the showI so appreciate you listening to the show!If you wouldn't mind leaving a rating and review I would really appreciate it!!Check out The Ultimate Do It Yourself or DITY guide for FREE!Podcasting is a labor of love for sure!

That judgment that fear of judgment is what stops people but when you're in a country if you want a sandwich if you want a beer if you want a train ticket, you're going to have to use the language.” 15:48 - “Businesses that need to continually improve the English skills of their customer support group can actually have lessons made from the customer support videos that they have in their business and so now the users, their employees, will be learning the words and memorizing the words that they use in their day-to-day life, they will be hearing the words from the videos that talks about their very business, learning the product as well along the way and they can practice with a bot that is trained to be a customer that doesn't know how to use the product that the company sells, that's how tightly we can train these products.” 19:03 - “A taxi driver in Hungary makes more money when they speak English, a waiter in Caracas makes more money when they speak English.” Free Email CourseHow to Build a Profitable AI-Powered B2B SaaS Business for Less Than $750Notes generated by Podcast Show Notes  (podcastshownotes.ai)

Everyone intuitively understands that the most effective way to learn a language is to go and live in a country where the language is spoken. Memrise gives you that kind of experience - but without having to catch a flight. Founded in 2010, Memrise uses dynamic, on-demand language immersion to help learners acquire the language skills they need in order to have real-life conversations. It all started to take from, when Ben Whately, the founder & CEO of Memrise developed a theory of effective language acquisition and moved to Qiqihaer, a small city on the China / Siberian border, to test whether this theory would work in practice.Within a few months, he spoke the language well enough to set up a business with an entirely Chinese-speaking team. And sometime after, Memrise was launched.

تو قسمت موفقیت این هفته، علی از در مورد یک نوع جدید و‌خلاقانه هدف گذاری صحبت میکنه که بر اساس دو اصل مهم هست به اسم لذت و کنترل. یعنی وقتی هدف گذاری میکنیم، اول این سوال رو از خودمون بپرسیم که به جای این که تمرکز کنیم روی یک مقصد مشخص، چطوری میتونیم از مسیر لذت ببریم؟ و سوال دوم اینه که چجوری این مسیر میتونه کاملا تو کنترل خودمون باشه، و‌‌ چرا بهتره که از هدف ها بیشتر برای تغییر رفتار استفاده کنیم تا رسیدن به یک مقصد خاص. تو بخش تکنولوژی، امیر سه تا ابزار زبان آموزی رو معرفی میکنه به اسم های Memrise، Babbel, Italki تو Italki میتونین پارتنر زبان یا معلم زبان با سطح ها و قیمت های مختلف پیدا کنین. تو Memrise و Babbel میتونین کورس های زبان پیدا کنین و‌‌ یا با خریدن اشتراک سایت آنلاین زبان های مختلف رو یاد بگیرین. هر جایی که ما رو‌میشنوین دنبالمون کنین و بهمون ایمیل بزنین یا پیام بدین تا ما هم‌بهمون حس شنیده شدن دست بده و‌ انگیزمون بیشتر بشه واسه ادامه دادن.پادکست موفقیت و تکنولوژی میزبان(Host) : @amirroaster میزبان مشترک(Co-Host) : @smilingalii MtechPodcast@gmail.com Telegram Channel : @mtechpodcast

This episode is all about communication. Ben Whately from Memrise joins Brett Kistler to discuss how his team built Memrise to utilize principles of human psychology rooted in science rather than strict pedagogy. He digs into the nuance of how humans naturally learn language and how, leveraging this understanding, Memrise has been able to help upwards of 59 million users from 189 countries learn to speak more than 23 different languages. In the >10 years Ben has been building Memrise, he has learned a lot. In our conversation, Ben shares some of those lessons, including how reassessing his own communication skills helped him to connect with his team and empower them to drive the mission forward together.References: Memrise.comInstagram: @memriseFoer, Joshua.
