I've launched 25 AI-generated language courses. The main distinguishing features are that they're really fast-paced and unlimited in depth.
The courses are freely available. In the paid version you can ask more questions to the AI.
Hi guys! I made Elon.io, which is a fast-paced alternative to Duolingo and let's you to learn an unlimited amount for free.
I've just added the following AI generated language courses:
- Afrikaans
- Czech
- Danish
- Dutch
- Esperanto
- Filipino
- Finnish
- French
- German
- Hausa
- Hungarian
- Icelandic
- Indonesian
- Italian
- Latin
- Malay
- Norwegian
- Polish
- Portuguese (as spoken in Brazil)
- Portuguese (as spoken in Portugal)
- Spanish (as spoken in Latin America)
- Spanish (as spoken in Spain)
- Swahili
- Swedish
- Vietnamese
The problem I had was that I wanted to learn languages and noticed that all options were both slow and incomplete. So therefore I created a fast-paced alternative that's unlimited in depth.
At Elon.io, you learn a language by translating sentences from English into the target language. I've added AI generated questions and answers to each sentence, such that you'll be able to understand what's going on in the new grammar that's introduced.
I still have quite a list of todo's among which are:
- Make the AI learn from user feedback which things are not clear yet or where it's going too fast, such that it can adjust its exercises and explanations accordingly
- Make courses from other languages than English, and into more languages than the ones mentioned above
Please let me know about your ideas, feedback and requests.
All content is freely available, but please consider choosing a paid subscription if you like it. I'd like to give this platform my full-time focus.
P.S. I know the name is silly. It was meant as a cool sounding acronym for "e-learning online". This was 10 years ago, when I didn't know the person with this name.
@davis_adams Yes, that's definitely the plan. The reason there isn't any at the moment is that making grammar lessons is currently not what AI is strongest at. I've been experimenting with that a lot, and eventually have had to drop it because the quality was simply too low to release it. Definitely going to retry this when better AI models appear.
I've been using Elon.io for like 10 days. The HARDCORE DUTCH course gets challenging very quickly (you can alt+tab because the lesson % will go down, and failing exercises with bring down the completion bar).
It is a commitment to do every course, feels like you are writing more than 150 sentences in order to progress...
But something REALLY weird happened... I remember 100% of what I learned the day before. Not a little bit, all of it. After 10 days and 5 lessons, I can already write simple phrases... I will complete all 100 lessons and give another review. This has potential to be way better than Duolingo.
I LITERALLY LOVE THIS WEBSITE, I have been searching for a free website to learn turkish and the turkish course u offer is the best (it includes grammar rules, vocabulary etc). Please create a separate hardcore Turkish course as well!!! It would be a great combination
I started learning Japanese with Elon.io 5 years ago, and now I'm working part-time in Japan, achieving my dreams. It is easy to use and for some reason, Elon is the one website that I consistently come back to for language learning. Thank you Erik!
