The Story Behind 3by7
How a linguist's journey led to reimagining language learning
👋 Hey there! Let me tell you my story...
I've been in the language industry for over two decades (yes, that makes me feel a bit old 😅). It all started when I was a university student - teaching English to make some extra money. Little did I know this "side gig" would become my passion!
Being a native Russian speaker who now lives in Poland (and still struggles with those tricky Polish cases!), I've experienced language learning from every angle - as a student, teacher, and translator. Trust me, I know exactly how it feels to be stuck with a language!
🤖 The AI Revolution in Language Learning
As a translator, I had a front-row seat to the AI revolution in language tech. While some called it "the end of translation," I saw something incredible: the potential to transform how we learn languages.
After years of teaching online and in-person, working with students from all walks of life, I realized something was missing in traditional language learning tools. They were either too generic or too complicated. That's when I had my "eureka" moment! 🎉
🎯 The Birth of 3by7
I started experimenting with AI to enhance my teaching, and the results were mind-blowing:
- Detailed Lesson Analysis: Instead of basic summaries, AI creates comprehensive study notes, capturing every nuance of our conversations.
- Smart Vocabulary Extraction: The system automatically identifies and organizes new words and phrases from our real-life discussions.
- Context-Rich Flashcards: Not just word-translation pairs, but mini-stories that help you remember vocabulary naturally.
- Personalized Podcasts: AI generates custom audio content based on your vocabulary and interests - and trust me, the quality will blow your mind!
- Custom AI Tutor: Forget generic ChatGPT responses - your AI tutor knows your level, tracks your progress, and understands exactly what you need.
🌟 What Makes 3by7 Different
The magic happens when all these elements work together. Want to learn from your favorite TV show? We'll extract vocabulary, create flashcards, and even generate a podcast discussing the themes you're interested in. Need to understand a Reddit post? Your AI tutor already knows your level and will explain everything in detail.
And the best part? The technology is incredible - natural-sounding voices, perfect pronunciation, and even AI-generated images to help visualize concepts. It's like having a language learning superpower in your pocket! 💪
