thank you!!!!
Thank you! You are a hero!
Thanks a LOT!
thanks a lot
Not every hero wears a cape.
Having learned to speak multiple languages fluently, the best advice that I can give is to avoid translation as much as possible when learning. For example, don't make flash cards with the Spanish word (or whatever language your learning) and its English (or whatever your native tongue is) translation, use an image whenever possible. For example, a manzana = 🍎; a manzana ❌ apple. To speak another language fluently in real time, you don't have time to translate from your native language in your mind. You need to think directly in that language before you speak. If you don't believe me, then ask yourself how you learned your native language as a child. No doubt you were unencumbered by translations when looking at an apple and saying the word! So learn like a kid!
You are spot on.
I will try it that way, I will be back and give some feedback in a couple of months
Useful advice! I'm curious to know about a method for phrases or words that cannot be put into a picture? Nouns can be pictured pretty easily as they are objects (🍎), however what about verbs for example...?
That's how duolingo is setup.
@@TonicTheSeshHog The point isn't necessarily to make thousands of flashcards, even if you can find creative ways of drawing images of verbs (or even AI-generated video!). The point is to visualize objects or activities in the same way you do when you're speaking your native language. And ultimately language is a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger you get. Hence the advantage of cross-cultural relationships for language learning, the romantic variant of which is sometimes referred to as the horizontal dictionary 😂
Personally, my favorite is to make ChatGPT (the free version so not GPT-4) more entertaining when it comes to helping with language learning. For example, if I ask it to explain French grammar to me, it ends up generating really long example tables and running out of characters midway through the table, which is useless to me since I lose out on the full grammar table. But if I ask it to "explain French grammar to me like you're Gordon Ramsey and you're really mad at how undercooked my grammar skills are", now that's a lot of fun, and usually ends up with more precise and easy to understand explanations anyway, not to mention the delightful satisfaction of a robot calling me a "doughnut" as an insult. Or having it write episodes of shows I like based around teaching me new concepts. I even got it to use Scooby-Doo's accent in a Scooby-Doo episode themed around learning my target language, which regrettably made the target language unintelligible, but certainly made for way more interesting content. It's even managed to write some decently funny jokes when asked for improv comedy skits themed around the language. All I'm saying is "can you explain x to me?" isn't always the most fun way to have ChatGPT do things, and now I'm probably gonna go give it a prompt like "Can you give me a roadmap for learning [target language] as though I'm a spy training for a secret mission for the next x months and you're my handler?" or "Can you give me a roadmap for learning [target language] grammar in the next x months as though I'm a reality show contestant and the target language milestones are interesting challenges I need to beat to stay on the show?".
great ideas! thanks.
Just used your Gordon Ramsay prompt and it's absolutely hilarious!
Brilliant
you’re awesome
Your interesting comment is certainly not high praise for chaGPT. Your ideas are good but chatGPT has no ideas.
As a native Spanish speaker, let me say that method 4 asking ChatGPT to roleplay a conversation between two people is the most useful. It had excellent and fairly natural exchange but most importantly, using the word order and sentence structures that we Spanish speakers normally use. The biggest problem English speakers have when trying to Speak Spanish is speaking backwards. You often just translate English to Spanish in your head and it doesn't work because our word order is completely opposite.
No the structure of the sentence is not the opposite stop lying..
Sometimes is the opposite but a lot of times don't. This is because Spanish syntax can change a lot. For example we can say: Yo amo jugar apasionadamente. Amo jugar apasionadamente. Apasionadamente amo jugar. Amo apasionadamente jugar. Often we can change the order of the words and have the same meaning.
Can't imagine thats the case as it follows the same structure as French surely which is the same as English. I can't say as I've never studied Spanish so could be wrong. But Japanese is an example of a language being totally opposite to English
I dont think you realize what he is trying to say, so you the one that needs to understand that word order can be the opposite in spanish bruhhhhhhhh @@elmehdinafia1237
@@andybliss5965french and english structure has alot of differences actually lol
There's also a fun prompt I came up with if you want more interesting translations: Translate the sentence 3 times using 1) Literal translation 2) Free Translation (Prioritize the target language) 3) Using transcreation making it more poetic and beautiful. And you can do that both ways from Source Language to Target or from Target Language to Source Language. This is especially useful for languages quite different like English and Japanese. It used to do kinda bland or boring translations when it was too literal, and now I'm pretty impressed with the results.
this is sooo cool because it helps with vocab, since it'll show synonymouns
See how much cleverer you are than chatGPT? It is you that make it interesting, not it!
i dont get it-
Instead of a table. You can instead have ChatGPT write each new word in a line and each field separated by a |. Then you can copy that list into a text document which you can then just directly import to Anki. Instead of having to copy paste for every single word.
I think it adds to the learning process typing it at least once…😊
Yeah, it will format, and it's also good for sentence mining. I've taken some words that I'm struggling with, given Anki a few examples from other cards (simplified Chinese | pinyin | english), then have it generate 3-5 sentences for each word I want more exposure to, already fully formatted as importable cards. You could even have it add a field that gives a definition of the challenging words in the target language, all automatically, if you wanted to.
I cannot upload a txt file to Anki. Which extension did you use?
I just wanted to add something similar: Instead of the table, just ask ChatGPT to write some Python code using Selenium to automate the upload process.
as an inexperience user, what this means? haha@@nyosgomboc2392
as a 12 year old learning my 3rd language, my greatest tip is that consistency is important, but so are breaks. dont start hating the language because you force yourself to study all the time, take a break when on a holiday or something similar.
what languages do you speak?
aw, thanks for sharing!
Being A2 is not speaking a language.
@@savexthem4314 dutch and english
@@mcmerry2846 ok? I never said I was A2. I'm fluent in dutch (my native language) and english
These tips are extremely helpful. I was stuck on asking for grammar explanations, but having a conversation on a particular language makes total sense. Thank you!
Last week I asked it to create a lesson plan for me which looked good. This is a great addition to learning and appreciate the extra methods you use.
Brilliant, since I started following you my skills and organization of how to use my Chatgpt has increased tremendously, thank you
Wow ! When trying to improve my Spanish, I always do the same mistake : I try to do it without a roadmap, just do some Duolingo and searching on the internet when I want to go further on one topic. But the internet is too big and there are so many things to focus on when learning a language that I will waste time trying to get one sentence right. I have to say that the way you used ChatGPT seems just incredible ! No more scrolling over and over for one info and less distraction ! Hope this method will help me achieve my goal to improve my Spanish this summer, thanks 🥰
True, you don't need hard work to learn a language, just "patience and consistency." Well said.
You can learn Chinese in six seconds
@@ScottJackson. 😮
Dude, this is impressive. Very well done. I've learned quite a bit and also thank you for the inspiration.
Your English is so crystal clear to me and I am not an English speaker. I understood almost everything without subtitles. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you immensely for this recommendation. I love ChatGPT and I use it for software testing. But it never dawned on me to use it to put my Spanish learning in overdrive. Thank you for the great ideas.🎉🎉🎉
This is exactly what I was looking for on utilizing this useful tool for language learning. Thanks so much for the suggestion- very helpful!
Thank you so much, dear teacher. I am very happy with voice GPT and talk GPT. They allowed me to fill the gap in speaking because I do not live in an English-speaking environment.
The best way to learn a language is to get familiar with the basics and then just start to watch a show you like in the language you learn with subtitles of your native language. This way the spoken word is directly associated with what is read, and its not really an active way of learning and its very close to how we learn as a children, as we just observe and associate meaning with the sound. If you do this for a while you will notice that you just know more words and more phrases. For some people it takes a bit to get used to reading subtitles. Everbody learning a new language should at least try this for a while.
Thank You. Will try this out... Appreciate the tip! Would you have any other suggestions? Would love it if you shared!!
I was watching love is blind Brazil and i noticed this happening. By season 3 i realised i could recognize words that are used often. They had the live show for this last season without subtitles . This has sparked my interest in taking it as a challenge to learn Portuguese for fun.
literally after watching over 50 K-dramas, accidently i learnt korean
Great content. Thanks! As a polyglot, I can say that this methodology works. Even though GPT Chat didn't exist when I started studying languages self-taught, today I use it to practice conversations through text and for the bot to correct me on any mistakes I make in the new language.
I use this prompt below for chatgpt with voice. It's really good. After finishing the questions and answers it lists all your correct answers including the incorrect ones. I use it for Spanish. You can add another language voice of your choice on your PC. [Win 10] Go to settings, time and language, language then scroll down to add language find your language of choice, let it install then go back to chatgpt, settings for the voice and choose the new voice. The Spanish [ Spain ] one is very good!! I had chatgpt create my questions, then copy/pasted them underneath the prompt in word then pasted them into chatgpt. You can get chatgpt to create questions in any tense that you wish to practice. Try the prompt. You are to play the role of my Spanish instructor. You are to follow rules: Rule 1 - You ask me these questions in Spanish then wait for my answer, then ask the next question then wait for my answer. Do this with all the questions. Rule 2 - You will always correct my Spanish if I make an error and explain what I said wrong. Don't say that I committed the mistakes, if I did, jump straight to the explanation. Rule 3 - If I answer, "no entiendo", you will repeat your answer but using easier vocabulary. Rule 4 - After I send the message, you will answer it, then in the next paragraph say what I said wrong. Rule 5 - You will try to make your answer 40 words at max. Rule 6 - When I put a list of questions for you to ask me, ask me the first one and I will answer it, then the same with all the questions. If you understand, then please repeat these rules while applying the rules.
As a tip: You can use Memorion instead of Anki and copy paste the table into excel and import it into Memorion. Memorion has the ability to import Excel documents and it can also read Anki flashcards, so just as an additional tip for people that are interested. Another idea is to instead of using the 1000 most used words, use expressions because it actually is easier to remember short "chunks" then single words. I started with learning the most common words too but I feel like either learning them in a short expression/sentence or learning the most common sentences or expressions might be a good idea too
Anki can also import excel files as long as you use the .csv file extension.
@@beanpasteposts thanks, ah cool i didnt know that
You could maybe grab the 1000 most common and have chaptgpt make sentences only using those words. So every 50-100 you could put in and have him make sentences just with those. All 1000 at once and you'd see too hard of words at first
Absolutely brilliant video. As a Dyslexic with ADHD, even Learning English was hard and like you I get bored so quickly when learning anything. Im trying to learn Polish and Welsh, just to make my life hard. As you say, find the fun part in the learning, but there were some very helpful hints in the video. Thank you
i jak Ci idzie z polskim?
@@piotrradzyminski240 Not very well.
@@aaronag7876 do not give up
whats ur native language?
@@lamar6431 English but will hold off learning Polish and Welsh, so I can learn Australian first 😜
tip for uploading a bunch of vocabulary at once: anki also accepts csv files. so instead of copying each word you can format them with a comma separator like a, b c, d and upload them all at once. you can use excel, libre office etc. or a simple notepad editor.
Or ask ChatGPT to format it for you!
I was about to comment about this
You learn the vocabularies by Copy them one by one
You can also mass import from text on anki
You could devote an entire channel to doing this! what a brilliant idea and great video
Not completely convinced about the vocab prompt, but I think the rest of this is pure gold - thank you!
Lessgoo bri, you got reccommended to me and i was instantly was happy for you cause your putting in that work and it's paying off, knew you from previous stream year back or so
One way that is helping me learn french very quickly is that I will ask gpt to translate a sentence and break down the sentence to literal translation word per word and then explain about the changing grammar rules. Then, will give the gpt my understanding and conclusion from what I get and if there's any misunderstanding, it will immediately give me feedback on what I have to corrected, or if I successfully learned something.
That's amazing, thank you!
I've had some really good results getting ChatGPT to create stuff in the language I'm learning . Lots of experimentation and thought lead to all sorts of things, and more and more as you go along, and when you hit on good prompts, and the best wording, you can end up with a bunch of good material. I then use tools to make it into audio too. Mainly it's been getting it to write texts using only the 500 most common words in the language. Maybe then 750, 1000, etc, etc. Also you can try asking it to write at 'A2' level, or something (I did it at B1, the language I'm learning has reasonable mutual intelligibility with a language I know, so I can reasonably understand already). Get it then to write on the same theme a few times and a lot of the same language will arise. Also getting a few common words (e.g. selected from the top 100 words in the language) and ask it to write a few texts using those words. I got it to use a few words and to use each one at least twice in each text. Some texts are duds, but many are surprisingly engaging. Also if you start thinking laterally about categories of language that are useful to learn. I got a long list out of this, with some playing around, of 'indeterminate nouns' (nouns that are general and can stand for other nouns or other more specific concepts (depending on the context); e.g. 'place, person, time, situation, fact, action, result, .... (etc., etc., etc) and these are very useful words, and also insisting ChatGPT uses a few of them for each text means it comes out with conceptually well-cohered texts with lots of varied and interesting content. By reading and listening to them, and gradually making sense of them, and then for another text with similar language, and then again, and again and again and again..., you end up learning a lot of those words, but also a lot of other features of the language that they are embedded in.
that is so smart, thanks for telling us :D
how do you check that what chatGPT churns out isn't gibberish?
Hello, I'm from Brazil and I want to thank you for this video and the commands you explained, they help me a lot.
Great information, thank you Bri! I'm going to give it a try.
As a Spanish Language teacher I find this fascinating and very helpul, but I insist to bring a tutor to your language journey, that person can correct you, give you some tips, and - very important to me - correct your phonetics.
Quite right and also laugh and joke with you, smile with you, band, in short, be human! These are human languages not machine code.
This is brilliant! Well done. I'm going to use this to brush up on my Spanish before my medical mission in December.
This video gave me just what I wanted. I wanted to learn Korean and many other Asian languages and this video just gave me enough in how I can master my Korean. Thank You so much!!
This is such a great way to utilise Chat GPT. I will be using this for my Portuguese journey 😁😁. Thanks so much for invaluable knowledge and info!!
I discovered Gliglish recently. It's an AI-driven language teacher that allows you to practice spoken conversation. I have used it for my French. It's extremely useful because it allows you to speak, record your voice, and have a conversation with an AI in your language of choice.
Thanks for sharing that 👍🏻
Thanks!! This is going to explode in the future, but this service can be implemented for free with chatgpt and plagins
It's amazing, thank you so much for spreading the word!
I would like to like this comment more than once.
this is the best language learning app/ai i used so far, thanks!
This is brilliant. I'm an ESL teacher and also a Turkish student. Keep doing what ya doing! 🌸
and I was only at 4:30 when I wrote that lol
I am Turkish and English student 😅
You can make anki decks from excel tables directly by the way, you don't need to copy and paste each note one by one, just copy the table and give each column an appropriate title to map to an anki deck's fields :). Not sure if you actually did it one-by-one but the clip used made me think you did
What do you mean by, "give each column an appropriate title"?
Me encanta tu tematica, me inspiras mucho y por mi cuenta al igual que tu uso chatgpt para aprender otro idioma, en mi caso, ingles .I have downloaded an ad-on for Windows and Chrome called 'Voice Control for ChatGPT,' and it has greatly helped me improve my pronunciation....Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your learning journey.
reading books in that language is a great tool. I've been trying to find children's books in spanish because they have pictures and simple sentence structure which really helps in understanding what the book is saying, while still providing natural and conversational usages of the language.
Another thing I asked chatgpt for language learning is to show me the phonetical spelling written in English so I know how to speak with a Spanish accent vs Mexican vs Caribbean Thank you for all the effort you put forth to provide us with such excellent content! You’re videos are concise, thorough, informative, well-spoken, and to top it off the presenter is pretty

I am also learning Polish. Did you have any success with chatgpt? I cannot having it make a list of the 1000 most common words without repetition
amazing video, glad i found you, youre a genius in asking questions
Chatgpt is good to explain phrases that we don’t understand. I’m a learner of English and your channel is good to practice listening skill.
This is brilliant. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tip on generating tests! Of course, ChatGPT is probably able to do this even at the level you want. For example, at the B2 level or at the level C1.
These are some great ideas for learning reading and writing, but ChatGPT, including the mobile app which came out after you created this, are great for holding actual conversations in the target language with ChatGPT 4. You simply set the level of the conversation and then the context (a cafe in Paris, Munich, Beijing, Tokyo etc,) and the value of this immersive practice is absolute gold!
This is the first time I've actually cared about AI in any way relevant to my personal life. This is the first time I've had to think about how prompts should be formulated and why certain formulations would be useful. Thank you.
Amazing video this has helped me so much thank you bri!
This channel has helped me out so much. I suggest making a video about using ChatGPT to learn how to play an instrument
Thanks for sharing those wonderful ideas! Many of those I've tried myself and are really effective. Just want to disclose that I've already found mistakes in the Chat GPT grammar skills. Yesterday I asked it to point me out the correct verbal form between two options in I was in doubt (in French) and not only Chat have pointed me to the wrong option, but gave me the incorrect explanation for it also.
I've been using Brilliant for months and so has my teenage daughter. What a great sponsor to have! Thank you for getting that info out there. And of course... another great video!
yeah right
I’ve been learning Russian for like 5 years and I’m still not where I want to be. But recently I’ve started using ChatGPT for sentence mining (plus anki) and I already feel a big improvement. Can’t wait to try out some of the other prompt tips from this video :)
Good for you for learning Russian! It’s my native language and very difficult for non-native speakers. Make sure you really practice on your pronunciation. It’s more impressive that you pronounce words correctly. Удачи тебе!!
@@DanielleEmma спасибо! :) I’ve been told my pronunciation is pretty good. I struggle with grammar - it’s very complex but it’s also part of why the language is so beautiful and perfect for poetry.
@@bloop6111 have you been studying for 5 years straight, non stop, consistently? Are you selftaught or taking classes?
@@99Gara99 no, i would have weeks of focused study with weeks between of inconsistency. A lot of self learning of vocab but not much conversational practice. But more recently I’m taking a class every week where I get to converse. Inconsistency and lack of immersion is why after all this time I’m not close to fluency.
This is genius! I’ve never thought to use ChatGPT like this. Thank you so much!
This was so helpful. Thank you so much
actually i asked it to give me the 1000 most common words in a table format starting with the most common to least common. worked quite nicely
This is really great information. Thank you for posting.
Very helpful prompts! Thanks Bri!
Este es "literal" el mejor video que he visto en mucho tiempo. Gracias infinitamente. ❤
Unbelievably helpful video!!! Thank you Bri!
Something where chatgpt trully helped me when i was learning japanese was to copy-past a list of words from anki and asking for a story usings that words, it´s a very helpful way of remembering that words better. :D
OMG, your tips are very useful. I should use them right away in learning Spanish. Muchas gracias😍
I learning English and Spanish with duolingo now. Probably it’s not that quick but I’m enjoying the process and do it every day for over three months straight. And I still have enthusiasm to this)
thank you. Very informative.
Thanks for the tip of words selection - what awesome Idea! Many thanks!
Hi Bri, thank you for this video. There are a lot of areas you covered here, obviously a lot of work on your part, and it is definitely appreciated. I have a couple of comments / questions, please: 1. I noticed above your prompt box, there was a message stating you were limited to a cap of 25 messages every 3 hours. Is this the OpenAI ChatGPT version you are using? And do you know if the Bing version of ChatGPT will give these same results? It is stated the Bing uses version 4, but I am wondering if it is the full version. Please see my next question for why I ask this. 2. In Method 6 of this video, you mention having ChatGPT write stories or even play games to help you learn. I read an article on AI and ChatGPT being used for everyday things to make life easier. In the article it stated playing games during boring meetings (Zoom calls) helped pass the time, and the author stated she played tic-tac-toe with ChatGPT. She typed a prompt asking to play tic-tac-toe and said it played the game with her. However, when I tried this same thing after reading the article, I received a message (Bing ChatGPT) stating it could not play games, but it recommended sites to go to to play games. The article stated things (besides games) that did not do what it claimed you could do. 3. I'll be going through this video more, as my wife and I are learning Spanish in preparation for our escape (becoming expats), and if this can help me learn quicker, why not use your suggestions?
Thank you for this🙏🙏🙏 very helpful and insightful
Asking good questions and prompts will be a skill we need to learn in future
Thank you for sharing! Definately ll use some of your ideas :)
Congratulations on the topic! Very useful content to help with learning.
Brilliant video ❤thank you for sharing 😊
I loved the name of your channel...so simple and exactly what I would like to name mine if I ever got to have one
thanks, i'll definitely try some of these
I like using ChatGPT and always use it, I loved the video and the editing Bri!
Incredible, I've never thought about using ChatGpt in this way!
Thank you for this video. So many good ideas!
Absolutely awesome video, thank you! These were all so helpful and unique.
Hi! discvered you recently and really been enjoying your content! you inspired me to use chatgpt in my learning as well, thanks a lot ! One thing i recently discovered is to ask chatgpt to produce the words in a csv format that you can then import into anki directly! a lot more efficient and it saves you some time ;) hope it helps!
Whenever I have a question now, I'm just gonna jump on chatgpt. This is all brilliant! Speaking of brilliant, I also like the sponsor's service too.
Felicitaciones por sus avances en el idioma y, por supuesto, muchas gracias por el video. Soy profesor de Inglés y siempre estoy buscando diferentes estrategias para hacer mis clases más aprovechables, atractivas e incluso fáciles para todos.
Excelente video Bri!!. Sos una Genia!!. Saludos desde Cordoba (Argentina)
This is gonna help me tremendously in college Spanish. Thank you so much for the video! Also, do you know if there would be any difference in using chatghpt 3.5 versus chatgpt4 while learning a language?
Nice video and some great tips. I tried to use Chat GPT to generate a list of the top 100 Swedish verbs, as a table and including the infinitive and past tenses, and it would stop around line 50-55. When I asked it to continue, it would start over. This was about 5-6 months ago, so I need to retry it. I have that same "See it and say it" book (from your thumbnail image) but for German, that I bought in the late 1970s when I taught myself German. They've been around for awhile. :)
@MTimWeaver I think the paid version of Chat GPT will go past 50+.
If you see in the video it's Chat GPT Plus version 👍
@@jameswilliams3046 I wasn't paying attention, and I'm too cheap to pay for it (even though I hear it's the most/more advanced version). I was able to get it to work, but it took longer than it should have. LOL Thanks for the info.
@bridoesthings As a followup, I tried the same prompts in Google's Bard service. Totally unimpressed. For the 6-month plan, it gave me through week 12, with generic things like "memorize the 1,000 most common words", "study grammar", and "practice with a Swedish-speaking person." The question for resources was bad, too. Abba, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and one or two other things suggested, but no suggestions for podcasts, news sites, etc., which Chat GPT gave.
@@MTimWeaver yeah, you can just ask Chat GPT to carry on from where the number stops. I just wonder if the Pro version gives us a little more in all areas 🤔
I have been learning swedish on my own for about 1 year. I have actually bought ebooks (literature) to read and write down the unknown words. I also use KZhead for grammar analysis and KZheadrs (in swedish) that I find interesting 😊 I also use music a lot and seeing the lyrics actually helps a lot memorize words and learn new ones... BUT I have been asking chatgpt to write me stories and fairytales every night the past few months. I can say it actually helped me expand my vocabulary 😊 so I guess it works, even if I didn't really start by asking it to make a plan for me etc... 😊
Tried GPT for Spanish before with some satisfaction. I think these ideas will help me get over some of the hurdles I keep encountering. Thanks.
I’ve been ChatGPT for almost everything I want to do or learn 😅 It’s actually amazing, thanks for your video though 😊
wow that´s awesome what a smart idea! I´ve been thinking about doing this for so long
OMG thank you so much this is a brilliant idea!
okay wait THANK YOU for this!!! literally just had chat gpt generate word frequency lists/phrase lists which i never thought to do!
Thanks so much for your tips! Learning languages is my passion and such tools like chatGPT are amazing 😎😎🔥🔥
I don't know that chatgpt can be this smart! Thank you for sharing the prompts
Some fantastic tips. I've been using method 7 for ages and it works very well - but it isn't always flawless in that sometimes it gets Latvian (the language I'm learning) wrong...but then I would imagine that isn't the case for more popular languages.
Probably is the case since it has no common sense in any language.
How insightful and inspiring is this video! Thank yo for this info :) I love your accent
I learned how to use chatGPT, and i had no idea i could use it that way. Thanks a lot :)
I started using ChatGPT to help me learn Mandarin Chinese a couple months ago, and it has been GREAT so far. I can ask it for curricula, resources, translations, to explain grammar points, etc. It's been wonderful and I've come so far in just a couple months of learning! I use it for a lot of various personal learning curricula - lately, I've been asking it for "self-directed curricula with keywords and search terms for [topic]" which works fantastic.
Also, I have it make vocabulary lists based on the material I'm using for my immersive learning.
Perfect, thanks a lot! 😊
something i've found good with chatgpt is, if there's some vocab you would like to learn is to say to chatgpt, please generate a visual mnemonic for me as an english speaker to learn this whatever word... then put a bunch of them together like 5-10, and say write a story using these mnemonics. it's amazing how quickly it goes into your head then. learning 5-10 words a day, and retaining them has become easy.
One of the things I learned about memory is that if you can connect a word you are having trouble with remembering the meaning of, with a very absurd image, often that will help you remember the word . . . . so then, you just ask ChatGPT to create a few ridiculous images as a memory tool for you, usually I prefer something phonetically close to the pronunciation of the word, but the idea can be expanded on based on your own preferences. Another thing I have done is have it give me the most common words, then, take the most common words and build a story from them. You do have to break them down, because obviously, it is not going to give you the 1000 most common words in one story. Also, if you break them down to perhaps 20 words per story, you can make sure it did not skip any words (it does sometimes), and then, you can read this story to help you with learning these words, because often we remember word meanings via the context of stories we read, or via some form of emotional stimulus provided by the context of the story.
It was also a dream of mine to learn a foreign language. The difference is that I didn't try many many times, I put hundred - probably thousands - of hours of work into it. Sitting down doing exercises, writing lists of words to learn, underlining words in a book and looking it up and then coming back later. And on and on. Because that's what it takes. Unless you happen to be born bilingual in which case it's effortless and you're vastly better than I'll ever be regardless of the work I put in. There are no shortcuts to learning and often the rewards are virtually non-existent.
Such a useful and to-the-point video, much appreciated
I think its fun how most if not all that uses chatgpt sees it as human you can see it in her phrasing as "could YOU and Please" im certain if it not already is it will be smarter then us within 1-2 years and We Will have a paradigm shift greater then ever before.
