+# Immersive language learning with Emacs
+Sebastian Dümcke (he/him) - <https://sam-d.com>, <mailto:code@sam-d.com>

+
+Immersive language learning helps acquiring a new language by
+surrounding oneself in environments where the target language is used
+naturally, rather than learning through traditional instruction or
+translation methods. Short of travelling to places where the language is
+native, one can also emulate this digitally: Watching movies, listening
+to music, podcasts, or radio shows, and reading books, newspapers, or
+websites in the target language.
+
+I will present a framework in Emacs to achieve the typical tasks in
+language learning: increase vocabulary and comprehension (both written
+and aural) to achieve faster fluency, better retention and ideally
+cultural competence. We will investigate how to read written documents
+and websites, watch movies and listen to music/learn lyrics all while
+collecting new vocabulary and concepts. Then we will present a spaced
+repetition framework for improving retention of these concepts.
+
+About the speaker:
+
+I am a curious person, interested to learn. I started using Emacs as a
+project management tool through org-mode 8 years ago. I has really
+helped my stay on top of things while starting my own company. Now my
+use of Emacs is slowly expanding. I was always interested in learning
+new languages: I believe they are the key to other cultures.
