Abstract

A language learning system is provided. The language learning system includes a computing device and a language learning file. The computing device includes a general user interface and a central processing unit. The language learning file is run by the central processing unit and includes multilingual data, a language display module, and a language learning module. The multilingual data includes a graphical constant element and dynamic lexical elements corresponding to the graphical constant element and having native language data and secondary language data translating from the native language data. The display module displays the graphical constant element and a native language element of the native language data through the general user interface in juxtaposed position. The language learning module switches between displays of the native language element with a secondary language element of the secondary language data.

Claims (28)

1. A language learning system, comprising:

a computing device having:

(a) a frame extending around a rectangular periphery of the computing device,

(1) a touch screen display positioned in the frame for use with a finger or a stylus, and

(b) an audio input device, the audio input device is a microphone positioned along an edge of the frame to receive an audio input signal, and

(c) an audio output device, the audio output device is mounted along a periphery of the frame at a distance from the audio input device, and

(1) a general user interface, and

(2) a central processing unit for receiving the audio input signal and for transmitting an output signal through the audio output device; and

a language learning file unit run by the central processing unit and having:

(a) a multilingual data storage containing multilingual data having:

(1) graphical constant elements,

(2) dynamic lexical elements corresponding to the graphical constant elements, the dynamic lexical elements having:

a. native language data, and

b. secondary language data corresponding to and translating from the native language data,

(b) a language display module simultaneously displaying a plurality of sequential images of graphical constant elements oriented in a plurality of different angular positions relative to the frame and native language elements with the native language data corresponding to the graphical constant element positioned adjacent thereto, through the general user interface, in juxtaposed positions in a plurality of differently sized separate zones and, the plurality of sequential images positioned to form a storyline tiled over a plurality of differently sized image panels, and

(c) a language learning module replacing a display of the native language element with a secondary language element of the secondary language data.

2. The language learning system of claim 1 , wherein the multilingual data includes auditory elements corresponding to a pronunciation the dynamic lexical elements.

3. The language learning system of claim 2 , wherein the language learning module performs auditory function of the auditory elements corresponding to the native language data and the secondary language data.

4. The language learning system of claim 2 , wherein the multilingual data is stored in a relational databases and listed in related tables that match up to links identified as zones along the general user interface.

5. The language learning system of claim 4 , wherein the zones correspond to coordinates along the general user interface.

6. The language learning system of claim 1 , wherein the graphical constant element is a pictorial display of an individual image containing a segment of action.

7. The language learning system of claim 6 , wherein the dynamic lexical elements are displayed text depicting dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information relating to the graphical constant element juxtaposed to the dynamic lexical elements.

8. The language learning system of claim 7 , wherein the dynamic lexical elements are native language elements displayed from the native language data.

9. The language learning system of claim 8 , wherein the language learning module displays a translation interaction module displaying the native language element in a native language display section and a secondary language element in a secondary language display section.

10. The language learning system of claim 9 , wherein the language learning module includes an audio wave-form analysis module displayed through translation interaction module display.

11. The language learning system of claim 10 , wherein the audio wave-form analysis module allows the user to prepare an audio recording of the secondary language element.

12. The language learning system of claim 11 , wherein the audio recording is a user's attempt to mimic a proper pronunciation of a secondary auditory element's broadcast of the secondary language element.

13. The language learning system of claim 12 , wherein the audio wave-form analysis module then displays an audio window that graphically displays a comparison of the audio recording to a proper pronunciation of a native auditory element of the native language element.
