Google announced a new English learning tool that goes deeper than the capabilities of Google Translate. Here’s how it works.
When learning a new language, it’s imperative that the speaker immerse themselves in the language’s books, movies, TV shows, and music. It’s also important for the speaker to regularly converse with native speakers to understand cultural jargon, slang, and colloquial expressions.
But it’s not always easy to visit the country whose language you want to learn, and consuming a foreign language’s media can be difficult when you’re still a novice speaker.
To help with this issue, Google announced a new interactive feature within Google Search to help people learn English.
The feature is currently available to Android users in Argentina, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Venezuela. Users can translate to or from English in Google Search, and Search will provide them with prompts, short practice sessions, and personalized feedback.
