Good news for better understanding in the Baltic Sea Region. An Estonian-developed computer program, Language Accelerator, will be capable of teaching any language to any learner in 200 hours, the developers say. The prototype for the learning program was financed by 9,900 euros from the Prototron startup fund, reported ETV.
According to one of the developers, physicist Mait Müntel, the money will be used to create a prototype that can be tested on a large number of people. The first two languages to be taught with initial versions of the program will be English and Estonian.
