In simple words

Deep learning is a family of machine learning methods using neural networks with multiple layers. Layers learn representations that can support tasks involving images, language and other data. Think of a sequence of transformations, not a person thinking more deeply. A larger model is not automatically the best choice for a small problem.

Words to know

Layer: a stage of calculation. Parameter: a learned value such as a weight.

Pause here and explain the definition in one sentence without copying it. The aim is to describe what the system does, not to memorise an impressive phrase.
