TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of language learning, in particular to a language learning system. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the English learning method basically does not get rid of the traditional mode of learning foreign languages, that is, mainly emphasizing the difference between foreign languages and mother tongue, and mainly emphasizing logical thinking in the link of solving difference understanding, that is, through logical thinking methods such as grammar analysis and word analysis, to help learners understand the difference. This method--"rational learning method" and the initial link of mother tongue learning are highly decoupled. Observe preschool children, their hearing and language expression ability is much higher than that of most English major eight-level teachers. In addition to English being a non-native language, more importantly, traditional English learning is mainly rational learning, and there is little intuitive response. Most of the accumulated vocabulary comes from reading and knowledge of word roots, affixes and etymology, and new words are expanded from familiar words. Preschool children have little reading. Their vocabulary accumulation is almost all from listening, that is, through the sound channel.
[0003] We know that the essence of language is flowing sound, and the text is only a symbol of recording language. Therefore, the best method of language learning is the intuitive response of the brain to produce a visual sense when hearing the sound, so as to produce more effective memory. The existing method does not provide a training system for training people to directly react to the meaning of the word when hearing the sound without language environment.
[0004] In addition, the current method of learning English by watching movies has the following ways:
[0005] 1. English original movie, double subtitles, that is, English subtitles + Chinese subtitles;
[0006] 2. English original movie, single subtitle, that is, English subtitles;
[0007] 3. English original movie with single subtitle, that is, Chinese subtitles.
[0008] The following defects exist: the current combination of subtitles is difficult to solve the biggest problem of English learners, that is, the lack of vocabulary, which requires a large number of dictionaries, resulting in a great decrease in the interest in watching movies, and many people give up learning English and only watch Chinese subtitles without paying attention to English original sound.
[0009] Therefore, it is urgent to provide a learning system which adopts a three-row subtitle arrangement and is combined and switched according to user needs to train and learn the user. SUMMARY
[0010] The present application provides a language learning system to solve the problems of the prior art.

[0012] The inside of the learning system comprises a translation algorithm module and a subtitle display module, the translation algorithm module is used for processing three rows of subtitles from foreign language video material information, and the subtitle display module is used for combining and switching the arrangement mode of the three rows of subtitles.
[0013] The inside of the translation algorithm module comprises a content decomposition unit, a content extraction unit, a content translation unit and a subtitle processing unit, the content decomposition unit is used for decomposing foreign language video materials into images, audio and subtitles, the content extraction unit extracts subtitle information from the decomposed information, the content translation unit translates the subtitle information on demand, and the subtitle processing unit combines the translated content into three rows of subtitles.
[0014] The inside of the content translation unit comprises a sentence-by-sentence translation subset, a word-by-word translation subset and an original text subset, the sentence-by-sentence translation subset is used for translating subtitles sentence by sentence, the overall sentence meaning is consistent with the original text, the word-by-word translation subset is used for translating subtitles word by word, so that the translated word-by-word position corresponds to the original word-by-word position, and the original text subset is used for transmitting original subtitles.
[0015] Preferably, the foreign language video materials comprise videos of different languages, different themes and different difficulties.
[0016] Preferably, the video player can close the selected subtitles in the three rows of subtitles of the displayed foreign language video materials according to the needs, and then carry out corresponding exercise learning.
[0017] The present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. The present application adopts a translation algorithm module and a subtitle display module, highly simplifies the English learning program, makes the English learning closer to the learning process of the mother tongue, realizes the comprehensive and accurate learning of the learners on the foreign language video materials through the decomposition, extraction, translation and combination of the information of the foreign language video materials. At the same time, the translated subtitle information is transmitted to the video player in real time for display, so that the learners can view the translated subtitle information while watching the video, and the learning efficiency and effect are improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] As Figs. 1-3 shown in a language learning system, including learning system 1, video player 2 and foreign language video material 3, the output of learning system 1 and video player 2 are electrically connected, foreign language video material 3 is connected with learning system 1 and video player 2 through data storage, learning system 1 includes translation algorithm module 11 and subtitle display module 12, translation algorithm module 11 is used for processing three rows of subtitles from foreign language video material 3 information, subtitle display module 12 is used for combining and switching the arrangement of three rows of subtitles, translation algorithm module 11 includes content decomposition unit 111, content extraction unit 112, content translation unit 113 and subtitle processing unit 114, content decomposition unit 111 is used for decomposing foreign language video material 3 into image, audio and subtitle, content extraction unit 112 extracts the subtitle information from the decomposed information, content translation unit 113 translates the subtitle information on demand, and subtitle processing unit 114 combines the translated content into three rows of subtitles, foreign language video material 3 includes videos of different languages, different themes and different difficulties, video player 2 can close the selected subtitles in the three rows of subtitles of the displayed foreign language video material 3 according to the demand, and then carry out corresponding exercise learning;
[0025] First, the foreign language video material 3 is connected to the learning system 1 and the video player 2 through the data storage, and then the translation algorithm module 11 of the learning system 1 processes the information of the foreign language video material 3 to generate three rows of subtitles, and the subtitle display module 12 combines and switches the arrangement of the three rows of subtitles. Inside the translation algorithm module 11, the content decomposition unit 111 first decomposes the information of the foreign language video material 3 into images, audio, and subtitles, and then the content extraction unit 112 extracts the subtitle information from the decomposed information. Then, according to the needs and language level of the learner, the content translation unit 113 translates the subtitle information on demand. Finally, the subtitle processing unit 114 combines the translated content into three rows of subtitles. Inside the content translation unit 113, the sentence-by-sentence translation subset 1131 is used to translate the subtitles sentence by sentence, and the overall sentence meaning is consistent with the original text; the word-by-word translation subset 1132 is used to translate the subtitles word by word, so that the translated words correspond to the original words in position; the original text subset 1133 is used to transmit the original subtitles;
[0026] The information of the foreign language video material is decomposed, extracted, translated and combined to provide a more comprehensive and accurate language learning experience for learners. By providing image, audio and subtitle information at the same time, it can better help learners understand and learn foreign languages. At the same time, the system can also translate on demand according to the needs and language level of the learner, improving learning efficiency and learning effect. In addition, the arrangement of the three rows of subtitles of the system can be combined and switched, so that learners can choose according to their personal preferences and learning habits.
[0027] The content translation unit 113 includes a sentence-by-sentence translation subset 1131, a word-by-word translation subset 1132, and an original text subset 1133. The sentence-by-sentence translation subset 1131 is used to translate the subtitles sentence by sentence, and the overall sentence meaning is consistent with the original text. The word-by-word translation subset 1132 is used to translate the subtitles word by word, so that the translated words correspond to the original words in position. The original text subset 1133 is used to transmit the original subtitles.
[0028] Through the system, there are three rows of subtitles at the same time:
[0029] 1. English original text
[0030] 2. Word meaning reference (Chinese)
[0031] 3. Sentence translation (Chinese)
[0032] The first and second rows of subtitles change color with the sound in the form of karaoke when the sound is output.
[0033] The pronunciation is divided into two types: film original sound and word pronunciation. And the speed of each type of pronunciation can be arbitrarily adjusted and controlled.
[0034] The following functions are realized:
[0035] The learner can arbitrarily remove a certain row of subtitles, leaving the subtitles that need to be left.
[0036] A, three rows of subtitles appear at the same time
[0037] Focus on the first row, distinguish English pronunciation details through English letters, find connected reading and omitted reading places, and realize sound and shape correspondence.
[0038] B, remove the first row and leave the second and third rows of subtitles:
[0039] In this way, without English subtitles, you can watch word meaning references and listen to English original sound, and the speech speed can be arbitrarily controlled and adjusted. In this way, the link between the sound heard and the word meaning can be realized; you can also remove the sound and say English according to the English language order by looking at Chinese characters (word meaning references) yourself, and the system will record and give you a score. You can also listen to the sound playback to realize sound and meaning correspondence.
[0040] C, after being proficient, you can only watch English original subtitles + whole sentence translation, which can refer to the whole sentence translation and read the English original text in reverse to find the sense of the language. This can correct the misunderstanding caused by the direct understanding of the word meaning reference piled up together, and complete the understanding of the whole sentence meaning.
[0041] D, only the first row
[0042] At this time, you can clearly understand the meaning of each word while understanding the whole sentence meaning.
[0043] E, remove all subtitles
[0044] At this time, you can completely understand and achieve blind listening.
[0045] D, only leave the third row of subtitles
[0046] Watch the whole sentence Chinese subtitles, turn off the sound, and dub the movie in English. The system will record your voice and give you a score.
[0047] This software can also realize text-to-speech and achieve self-training in the same way. In this way, whether it is a textbook, news, a television documentary, a novel, or various reading materials, they can all be used as learning materials for learning English and achieving self-training. Learners can freely choose according to their interests or needs.
[0048] In addition, in addition to English, other alphabetic languages are also applicable.
[0049] Learning non-alphabetic languages, such as Chinese, only requires adding a row of pinyin. Similarly, learning Japanese only requires adding a row of the 50-sound chart or the International Phonetic Alphabet, achieving a correspondence between sound and form.
[0050] Supplementary notes on the learning process:
[0051] Achieve phonetic-semantic correspondence:
[0052] 1. When using it, remove the first row of original English text and leave only the second and third rows of words for word meaning reference and sentence translation.
[0053] Based on the impression from the first step, look at the Chinese characters of the word meaning reference and say the English, starting with saying each word individually and transitioning to saying the whole sentence fluently.
[0054] Learners listen before they speak:
[0055] A. Once you understand the sounds and meanings of the words the teacher makes and reach a level of fluency, you can create a visual image in your mind, thus achieving effective input, also known as comprehensible input.
[0056] B. Look at the vocabulary reference and say the English words aloud. If you can't remember, go back to step one, then go back and say it again. Achieve understandable output. This includes two aspects:
[0057] First, you know the meaning of each sound you make when you speak it.
[0058] Second, people who understand English can understand it.
[0059] To achieve a correspondence between sound and meaning.
[0060] 2. Remove the second row of words (for word meaning reference), leaving the first and third rows.
[0061] By using the following complete sentence translations, you can practice reading English in reverse, and on the basis of fluency, carefully appreciate the connotation of the language and correct the misconceptions caused by directly understanding through word meanings.
[0062] Achieve the following objectives:
[0063] A. Refine your understanding of the specific function of each word in the sentence, and gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of the whole English sentence through intuition without relying on grammatical analysis.
[0064] B. Internalize grammar through language sense.
[0065] 3. Remove the second and third rows, leaving only the original English text.
[0066] Completely break free from dependence on Chinese.
[0067] Listen again with eyes closed.
[0068] Realize direct reading and blind listening. Understand the basic meaning of each word and the meaning of the whole sentence at the same time.
[0069] 4、Remove the first and second rows, leaving only the third row of the translation of the whole sentence.
[0070] Look at the Chinese translation of the whole sentence and say the complete English sentence.
[0071] This link can achieve the following goals:
[0072] A, activate all memories of the previous steps, including the pronunciation and meaning of each word, as well as the arrangement of words and various grammatical phenomena.
[0073] B, practice sentence-making ability.
[0074] Gradually form the ability to freely switch between Chinese and English.
[0075] The traditional method is difficult for junior high school or even primary school English learners to understand English original sound movies, but this system can easily let primary school students understand English original sound. 3-5 minutes can complete a self-training of a sentence. Realize blind listening and 100% understanding. Then watch the Chinese subtitles of the whole sentence and dub the cartoon in English. Such efficiency, only 30-60 minutes a day, 1-3 years can accumulate more than 10,000 words, and realize free expression of English.
