DIY Learn a Language - Estonian
Early in 2026 I discovered that I could get Gemini to access Samsung note on my phone and thus record our dialogues. In this way I created a 'curriculum' of sorts following daily lessons. I also found the same notes app for my laptop, which could sync with the phone. Now I can create an archive of my interactions with Gemini Live while learning a language. Just to be clear, this started around part 5 of learning Estonian.
For anyone thinking of trying the same, the prompt is 'Open Samsung Note and copy the dialogue there'.
