Why wouldn't you want an LLM for a language learning tool? Language is one of things I would trust an LLM completely on. Have you ever seen ChatGPT make an English mistake?

I tried to use one LLM based tool to rewrite sentence in more official corporate form, and it rewrote something like "we are having issues with xyz" into "please provide more information and I'll do my best to help".

LLMs are trained so hard to be helpful that it's really hard to contain them into other tasks
