This article explores the integration of neural networks and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the process of foreign language acquisition. Drawing on recent advances in neuroscience and educational technology, the study analyzes how AI-driven tools enhance lexical and grammatical competence by personalizing content, adapting to individual learning trajectories, and facilitating emotional engagement. Key concepts such as neuroplasticity, synaptogenesis, and memory consolidation are discussed in the context of their practical application in language learning environments. Special attention is given to mobile applications like PickLang and AI-based systems such as Creative Reality Studio, which allow learners to interact with personalized visual and audio content. The article also emphasizes the role of neural networks in addressing the shortage of qualified language instructors and increasing the accessibility of high-quality education. Despite the numerous benefits, challenges such as ethical concerns, lack of qualified educators in AI, and risks of overreliance on digital tools are also addressed. The study concludes with recommendations for effective and responsible implementation.
