Abstract

Provided is a system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more processors effectuate operations comprising dividing a text of a plurality of words in a foreign language into one or more Interpretation Phrases, each of the Interpretation Phrases being made of one or more words chosen at an optimal composition for a user to listen to, read along, and maintain comprehension and engagement, wherein the optimal composition is determined based on the biographical data of the user and the historical usage by the user; reading aloud the first Interpretation Phrase by a narrator; and after reading aloud the first Interpretation Phrase, interpreting aloud the first Interpretation Phrase into the said user's native language to provide understanding of the Interpretation Phrase in the user's native language, to maintain the flow of the story, and to create and promote subconscious associations between native and foreign language words.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more processors effectuate operations comprising:
 causing, by a computer system, display of text on a graphical user interface on a device of a user;   obtaining, with the computer system via a camera coupled to the computer system and when causing the display of a first text in a first language on the graphical user interface on the device of the user, eye movement of the user;   determining, with the computer system via the camera, a user speed based on speed of eye movement of the user viewing the display of text on the graphical user interface;   retrieving, with the computer system, an ability score of the user, wherein the ability score is determined based on at least the user speed;   dividing, with the computer system, a second text in the first language into a plurality of Interpretation Phrases for the user, wherein for each respective Interpretation Phrase of the plurality of Interpretation Phrases the dividing includes:
 generating, with the computer system, a plurality of subdivisions of the second text based on a combination of a grammatical construct and a length satisfying a flow condition related to a corresponding audio interpretation of the second text; and 
   determining, with the computer system, the respective Interpretation Phrase based on a selected subdivision, wherein the respective score of the selected subdivision corresponds with the ability score of the user;   obtaining, with the computer system, a first audio file of a dictation of a first Interpretation Phrase in the first language and a second audio file of a dictation of the first Interpretation Phrase in a second audio file in a second language;   playing the first audio file, at the device while sequentially highlighting a set of words of the first Interpretation Phrase on the graphical user interface at a speed corresponding to a speed commensurate with the ability score of the user;   playing, with the computer system, the second audio file at the device after playing the first audio file, wherein the first Interpretation Phrase remains highlighted during the playing of the second audio file.
