Learning 50 languages might sound like a Herculean task, but by following a systematic approach, it becomes an exciting and manageable journey. We will start with the "Our Father" prayer in its Greek original and then expand to 49 other languages, grouped into seven categories for structured learning: Romance, Germanic, Slavic, Turkic-Mongolic, Iranian, Indic, and complex Asian languages. Learning languages within related groups facilitates better understanding and retention.
If you do not understand any language at all, ask the AI to pronounce a line and interpret it word for word.
