Hi.

Anyone got any experience with using (a set of) local LLMs for practicing a new language? (Spanish, not Python). Curious about experiences and knowledge gained.

​

And, in the extension of that thought, what would be required ‘scaffolding’ around a set of LLMs to be able to:

• assess a student’s current proficiency
• set up some kind of study guide
• provide assignments (vocab training, writing prompts, reading comprehension, speaking exercises, listening exercises)
• evaluate responses to assignments
• give feedback on responses
• keep track of progress over time and adjust assignments accordingly

I *assume* something like this would require multiple LLMs, in order to handle Text To Speech and Automatic Speech Recognition. Is whisper (for example) useful for evaluating (and give feedback on) pronunciation?
