In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is infiltrating various aspects of our lives. One of the sectors showing promise for AI integration is language education. But how practical is it, really? Especially for “less commonly taught languages” or “under-resourced languages” from Africa such as Bambara. This was the question I aimed to answer in my recent video about using ChatGPT as a virtual language tutor for learning Bambara.
