This is demonstrably false. Natural language acquisition is almost entirely listening and talking. The fastest and most consistently effective way to learn a language is immersion. The reason traditional material doesn't attempt immersive techniques is because it is much much easier to print a static book than it is to produce interactive and adaptive content.

The promise and potential of LLM based language learning apps is that you can cross that gap to full immersion in a way that has never been possible before.

Please be more ambitious.
