The AI Fluency Method: Learn Any Language Faster with Generative AI

Grace Perkiss is a language educator, polyglot, and writer who has spent more than a decade teaching English and Spanish to adult learners across four countries. Fluent in six languages and comfortable in several more, she built much of her own speaking ability the old-fashioned way—through classroom drills, penniless travel, and thousands of awkward café conversations—before discovering that generative AI could compress the most painful years of that journey into months. The AI Fluency Method grew out of her classroom experiments: as she piloted AI-powered conversation practice with her students, she watched hesitant beginners hold real dialogues within weeks and plateau students finally break through, and she began documenting the prompts and routines that consistently worked. Her work explores how artificial tools can be put in service of deeply human skills, and she writes and speaks regularly about the future of self-directed learning. Grace currently lives in Europe with her family and an ever-growing pile of half-finished language notebooks, and she practices something in a new language every single day.
