Claim 0:
1. A computer implemented method to adjust digital content to match a determined user language proficiency level, comprising:
receiving, by a computer, digital content including words;
monitoring, by said computer, word consumption activity of a user;
responsive to said monitoring, identifying by said computer, troublesome words associated with content consumption delays and establishing a user language proficiency level based, at least in part, on a difficulty value associated with said troublesome words;
determining, using the computer, a word difficulty for the user, as at least part of the establishing of the user language proficiency level, based on the troublesome words;
identifying, using the computer, a difficulty level associated with the troublesome words, the user language proficiency level being associated with the word difficulty;
identifying a difficulty value associated with the troublesome words;
basing the language proficiency level, at least in part, on the difficulty value;
identifying as target words by said computer, words within said content that have a difficulty level above said language proficiency level;
responsive to said target word identification, identifying by said computer, from a word corpus available to said computer, exchange candidate words having a difficulty level equal to or below said language proficiency level;
generating, by said computer using a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm, word embeddings for said target words and said exchange candidate words;
selecting from the exchange candidate words, replacement words having word embeddings the same as the word embeddings of said target words; and
adjusting, by said computer, said content by replacing the target words with the replacement words.
