Prompts: 1. I am a complete beginner in (chosen language). I would like to learn the language in 6 months. I can study for an hour every day. Could you please create a structured learning plan that utilizes the Pareto Principle to help me learn (chosen language)? 2. I am a beginner interested in learning (chosen language) and completely immersing myself in the language. Could you please recommend resources such as music, movies, TV shows, KZfaq channels, articles, etc, that I can read or listen to to increase my proficiency in the language? 3. I want to memorize the 1000 most common (chosen language) words by learning 10 new words every day. Can you give me the first 100 words I should start with in a table format? 4. Can you describe a random situation in (chosen language) and ask me to respond? 5. I am a complete beginner in (chosen language) and want to start learning grammar. Can you provide a roadmap for me to learn it? 6. Can you teach me about past tense verbs? 7. Can you provide me some grammar exercises on past tense verbs? 8. Can you write me a joke in (chosen language)? 9. Can you write a short story? 10. Let's play a game. The goal is to write a story together where we take turns writing a sentence each in (chosen language). You start and then I'll reply. 11. Can you create a (chosen language) test for a beginner? 12. Write grammatically incorrect sentences in (chosen language) and I will try to fix them 13. What are some different ways I can use ChatGPT to test my knowledge of (chosen language)?

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!

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?".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dude, this is impressive. Very well done. I've learned quite a bit and also thank you for the inspiration.

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 🥰

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

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.

You could devote an entire channel to doing this! what a brilliant idea and great video

True, you don't need hard work to learn a language, just "patience and consistency." Well said.

This is exactly what I was looking for on utilizing this useful tool for language learning. Thanks so much for the suggestion- very helpful!

Great information, thank you Bri! I'm going to give it a try.

amazing video, glad i found you, youre a genius in asking questions

This is brilliant. Thank you so much!

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.

Very helpful prompts! Thanks Bri!

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.🎉🎉🎉

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.

This was so helpful. Thank you so much

Hello, I'm from Brazil and I want to thank you for this video and the commands you explained, they help me a lot.

Amazing video this has helped me so much thank you bri!

Unbelievably helpful video!!! Thank you Bri!

This is really great information. Thank you for posting.

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!!

Not completely convinced about the vocab prompt, but I think the rest of this is pure gold - thank you!

This is genius! I’ve never thought to use ChatGPT like this. Thank you so much!

OMG thank you so much this is a brilliant idea!

Congratulations on the topic! Very useful content to help with learning.

Brilliant video ❤thank you for sharing 😊

thanks, i'll definitely try some of these

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.

I like using ChatGPT and always use it, I loved the video and the editing Bri!

Thank you for sharing! Definately ll use some of your ideas :)

Perfect, thanks a lot! 😊

This is awesome! Thank you!!

this is so so helpful thank you

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.

This is brilliant! Well done. I'm going to use this to brush up on my Spanish before my medical mission in December.

Absolutely awesome video, thank you! These were all so helpful and unique.

Thanks for the tip of words selection - what awesome Idea! Many thanks!

Such a useful and to-the-point video, much appreciated

Brilliant advice - thank you.

Este es "literal" el mejor video que he visto en mucho tiempo. Gracias infinitamente. ❤

This is helpful! ChatGPT is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Very helpful ,thank you so much!

Very helpful video. Thank you very much!

Do you know the joke about chat GPT in French? " Chat, J'ai petee ! [ cat, I farted! ]

Excelente video Bri!!. Sos una Genia!!. Saludos desde Cordoba (Argentina)

Thank you for this🙏🙏🙏 very helpful and insightful

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!!

wow that´s awesome what a smart idea! I´ve been thinking about doing this for so long

such an amazing an handy video! thank you so much

How insightful and inspiring is this video! Thank yo for this info :) I love your accent

Thanks for these amazing tips! ❤

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.

This channel has helped me out so much. I suggest making a video about using ChatGPT to learn how to play an instrument

thank you. Very informative.

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.

Incredible, I've never thought about using ChatGpt in this way!

OMG, your tips are very useful. I should use them right away in learning Spanish. Muchas gracias😍

Thank you for this video. So many good ideas!

Muy buen video, Bri!

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

Trank you so much. So useful!

Excellent video!

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!

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.

I don't know that chatgpt can be this smart! Thank you for sharing the prompts

Thanks so much for your tips! Learning languages is my passion and such tools like chatGPT are amazing 😎😎🔥🔥

this is the best video teaching how to learn any language ! trust me !

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

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 brilliant. I'm an ESL teacher and also a Turkish student. Keep doing what ya doing! 🌸

Tysm♥️ your video is very helpful 👍

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

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.

Thank you! You just showed me how to use this tool!🍓

thanks you so much... this is really helpful

I want to learn polish, and you really inspired me to try Chat Gpt as my teacher . Thank you, I have already started today

This is brilliant! New subscriber!

Wow! Really interesting. Thanks a lot for this video❤

Thanks for all these tips

Thank you a lot!!!

I learned how to use chatGPT, and i had no idea i could use it that way. Thanks a lot :)

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.

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

Interesting topic and video. Thanks

thank you so much, very useful

Thanks for sharing

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!

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?

very valuable content, thank you

Thank you ma'am this is very helpful.
