It is obvious that learning is much more than just conveying a piece of information to a student. It involves being a source of inspiration, a motivator, and sometimes even a shoulder to cry on in case they feel desperate along the journey. So, while AI-based apps could augment the process of foreign language learning, it is impossible to replace the aforementioned human touch.

Language learning at a basic level can be automated quite efficiently. However, transitioning from a low level of competence to a high level requires a lot of feedback, experience, and human interaction.

To the extent that it would require a general AI to fully automate it.
