Natural language learning in context is provided by generating combined text of a user's native tongue and language to be learned. The combined text is generated based on elements of code-switching including syntax and semantics. Combining text based on elements of code-switching maximizes the learnability or the likelihood of retaining certain text of a foreign language.

Computer system methods for generating combined language content

Generating responses to input utilizing an ontology-crowd-relevance methodology is described. The techniques described herein access a plurality of data items and determine an ontology associated with the plurality of data items. The ontology includes one or more ontological elements. Furthermore, the techniques describe sending, to a plurality of devices, a request to generate response templates based on the one or more ontological elements and receiving, from the plurality of devices, the response templates directed to the one or more ontological elements.
