Language Learning Resources

Guides built from research, not folk wisdom

Most language learning advice is either too vague to act on or too academic to use. These guides take a different approach: each one starts from a specific, common problem, you understand grammar but freeze when you try to speak, you keep forgetting vocabulary you already studied, you do not know which grammar rules actually matter, and works backward from the research on how people acquire a language, citing researchers like Stephen Krashen, Robert DeKeyser, and Merrill Swain rather than repeating folk wisdom.

Four tracks cover the skills that matter most. Speaking and Conversation is for building the ability to actually talk, not just recognize words on a screen. Vocabulary is for retention systems that outlast a single study session. Grammar is for knowing which rules earn their study time and which do not. AI Language Learning is an honest look at what AI tools can and cannot replace in the process.

If you are starting from zero in a specific language, the language-specific tracks below, Korean and Spanish so far, with more on the way, walk through a complete roadmap: script or pronunciation first, then a structured path through vocabulary and grammar to real conversation.

Every guide is written to be used, not just read. Most link directly to a tool inside PalmSpeak, AI roleplay practice, vocabulary review, live human conversation, so you can put what you just learned into practice immediately instead of closing the tab and forgetting it.
