Ever since ChatGPT was released, people have declared the "death of language learning". It still hasn't happened. 

Today, we'll look at how AI can help with reading, writing, listening, and speaking in 2026, and where it still falls short. 

Can AI really make you fluent at English in 2026? 

AI and English learning: what changed since 2022.
Input versus output: a simpler skills framework.
Reading help: summaries, explanations, but avoid passive learning.
Guess first, then ask AI to check.
Listening: better AI voices, but prefer real human audio.
Use AI to scaffold podcasts into active learning.
Writing: get feedback, not AI-written text.
Self-correct first, then see fixes with explanations.
Speaking: use AI for rehearsal, not as replacement.
Consistency beats tools; do real English daily.

This episode looks at why cheap credit, global investors, short-term rentals, and slow building have pushed prices ever higher.

Housing wealth passed down; family help now often essential.

Are there any solutions?
