The AI Language Coach

Richard Moore is a language learning strategist and prompt engineer who has spent the past decade exploring how technology can accelerate human language acquisition. Fluent in four languages and conversational in three more, he developed his methodology through years of experimentation with AI tools, beginning with early neural machine translation systems and evolving through each generation of large language models.

His work bridges the gap between traditional language pedagogy and cutting-edge AI capabilities. Rather than treating AI as a replacement for proven learning methods, Moore focuses on how it can amplify them—making personalized tutoring accessible, practice more frequent, and feedback more immediate than ever before.

Moore's background spans computational linguistics, instructional design, and software product development. He has built language learning products used by over 200,000 students worldwide and has advised education technology companies on integrating AI into their platforms. His writing has appeared in language learning publications, AI industry blogs, and education technology journals.

He lives in Portland, Oregon, where he continues to study languages, refine his prompting techniques, and develop new frameworks for AI-assisted learning. When he's not immersed in language work, he can be found hiking the Pacific Northwest trails with his dog, attempting to cook dishes from the countries whose languages he studies, and arguing that Basque isn't as hard as everyone thinks.
