The app I use to learn languages -> bit.ly/3IrpVNC My 10 FREE secrets to language learning -> www.thelinguist.com My chat with Luca on his channel: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8iWZc6DuNmVgGg.html Have you tried chatGPT?

The real power of GPT is having a good prompt. With a good prompt you can get amazing answers from GPT. I like reading books in Korean, and sometimes I find words or phrases that I don't quite understand and need more examples that use said phrase or word. So I created a prompt where you can add the word/phrase, and then add the sentence(s) that came with the word/phrase that you spotted. Here is my prompt: Pretend you are the author who wrote the passage that I provided. Use the word (insert word here) in five sample sentences in both English and Korean in a similar manner to the writing style of the passage: (insert passage)

Luca is a wonderful polyglot, helpful, modest, friendly and a great person to talk to. We also did an interview for his channel where we talk about the role of deliberate practice in language learning. Check it out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8iWZc6DuNmVgGg.html

Some examples of what I have used it for: Create a story in B2 Spanish in 500 words. Create a sequel to the story with a plot twist. Correct my written errors. Rewrite X news article (pasted from the web) in B2 Spanish. Used a desktop voice plug in to have spoken conversations with a very natural sounding voice.

I use ChatGTP to explore interesting topics in target language. I tell it to assume the role of an expert in a particular topic, take care to use the technical vocabulary they would use in real life, and answer all my questions in target language only. This helps me immensely with staying engaged while getting exposed to the vocabulary I need in specific fields.

My two idol polyglot masters ever together in a special video. I couldn't believe it. 🤩

Language learning is a process of self-training and improvement. With chatGPT, it is equivalent to having a 24-hour online linguistics tutor who can chat with you and help you correct mistakes. When the voice synthesis is more real and natural, the voice communication with chatGPT can also be regarded as a real person dialogue. chatGPT and subsequent upgraded versions are a powerful language learning assistant. We don't need to throw away our existing language learning methods, but with chatGPT we will have more choices, and learning languages will have more fun and imagination.

I can't tell you how happy I am I found Steve, Luca, and Krashen. I've been interested in languages all my life but have never learned one to fluency. I am now using the principles they teach and I am FLYING through Spanish and having a blast doing it. I'm obsessed with LingQ and can't wait to read my books and podcasts every day on LingQ after the kids go to bed.

The importance of languages lies not in their linguistic constructs per se, but in the cultures they represent. Language serves as a means of communication and expression of cultural values, beliefs, and practices that are integral to human societies. By studying languages, we gain insight into the complexities and nuances of diverse cultural systems, allowing us to better understand the social and psychological underpinnings of human behavior. Furthermore, a deep appreciation of the cultures that languages represent is crucial for promoting cross-cultural understanding and cooperation, facilitating peaceful coexistence in our globalized world. Therefore, the study of languages is not only an academic pursuit, but also a vital component of building a more interconnected and harmonious human society.

I think that the main benefit of using ChatGPT for language learning is that you can have a conversation with it. You can simply talk to it in your target language, or you can even talk to it in your native language and tell it to respond in your target language and it will. I think it would be amazing for LingQ to have a “conversation” function, where you could talk to a ChatGPT like bot, and then create LingQs from your conversation.

Lucca finished the talk with a flourish. "Screen devour your time and books feed your mind." I have the exact sensation! Books make the brain work while screens, despite the fact they can be really helpful, the applications lock your mind in, offers gamefication and there is release of dopamine, eventually, making us spend time absentmindedly.

I tested chatGPT out yesterday, asked it to explain a Japanese verb that I was struggling to understand with example sentences showing it used in context. It's answer was honestly quite perfect and really helped me a lot. Will definitely be testing out some more in the future.

Awesome to hear you both talk about ChatGPT in relation to language learning, I think a lot of us have been wondering about this lately!!! 🙌

There are already text to voice extension for ChatGPT. One can practice conversations directly with it. I would hope to see a more open minded discussion to help the viewers to embrace and utilize these new technologies and tools.

Luca’s English is amazingly native sounding.

I always enjoy the videos where you two get together. Thanks to both of you for sharing your enthusiasm. It’s contagious

Thank you Steve for inviting such a wonderful guest.

I think it's important to bring it into discussion, I love the way you two run your channels giving tips and stuff. This video is another treasure. Congrats.

This feels a lot like a grandpa preparing his son to go even further than he did and teaching him all he learned so far. I love this conversation, you are both huge inspirations and encouragement to me. God bless you.

Soon you will be able to actually chat with a bot. For some that will be a real game changer. Conversing with a person while making 2 or 3 mistakes per sentence makes me nervous. I believe there are many who would appreciate a nonjudgmental bot for beginning conversations.

The app I use to learn languages -> bit.ly/3IrpVNC My 10 FREE secrets to language learning -> www.thelinguist.com Have you tried chatGPT?

What a beautiful conversation! Thanks Luca and Steve. ❤I truly loved this!

So glad to follow your channel. Thank you so much for your insight!

I just watched the other video on Luca's Channel and i repeat, i love these two guys.

I'm learning Tetum Praça, the lingua franca of East Timor. There aren't many resources available for it. But amazingly ChatGPT knows it. You can have conversations in the language. Or you can ask it about any topic, or ask it to write stories, and to then translate the responses into Tetun. I get it to write stuff in English and then to translate into Portuguese and Tetun. I read all three versions and can understand 95% of the Tetum. Perhaps 40% of my comprehension of the Tetun comes from the context and cognate vocabulary provided by the first two versions.

Duolingo got me "involved" I went from struggling along with Russian to cruising on duo and thoroughly enjoying Russian, Italian, Greek, French and German. Came first in my league last week. So proud of myself. Ty.

Here is an example of learning about subtle German words from CHAT GPT. (I had wanted to discuss how my German got much better the last few years with the rich resources available of podcasts and YT videos. This led the options for AVAILABILITY, and: What is the difference between Verfügbarkeit and Erhältlichkeit? The difference seemed realistic to me, and 3 native speakers said this was good (one or two said it was better than they could explain !!). ## CHATGPT: --In general, both "Verfügbarkeit" and "Erhältlichkeit" can be translated as "availability" in English. However, there is a subtle difference between the two words in German. --"Verfügbarkeit" implies that something is available or ready to use, while "Erhältlichkeit" emphasizes that something can be obtained or acquired. In other words, "Verfügbarkeit" refers to the state of something being ready for use, while "Erhältlichkeit" refers to the possibility of obtaining something. --For example, if we say that a product is "verfügbar", it means that it is ready to use or can be used immediately. On the other hand, if we say that a product is "erhältlich", it means that it can be obtained or purchased, but it may not be immediately available or ready to use. --In the context of the original sentence, "Verfügbarkeit" emphasizes that there were many podcasts and KZfaq channels that were readily available for use during the pandemic, while "Erhältlichkeit" would emphasize that these resources were obtainable or accessible during the pandemic

OpenAI's "Whisper" has been the most useful language learning AI tool for me. Extremely useful.

I've only been learning a second language for 4 years, and I can't fathom how difficult it must have been for language learners to learn another language prior to the internet and digital resources. It would be interesting to know whether technology has resulted in more people becoming multi-lingual, or whether it's just resulted in people becoming better in their non-native languages.

I asked ChatGPT who said: screens devour …… and it wrote: The quote "Screens devour your time while books feed your mind" is often attributed to an unknown author or source. It has become a popular saying among those who advocate for reading as a way to improve one's knowledge and well-being, while cautioning against spending too much time on screens, which can be a source of distraction and time-wasting. Thanks a lot to Mr. Steve and Mr. Luca. You Are motivating in a good manner

Brilliant stuff! Thanks guys.❤️

You can ask Chat GPT to write stories in various languages at a given CEFR level. For example, I asked it to write 150 word story in Chinese at a CEFR A1. Once I get the story, I load it into LINGQ as a lesson. Works perfectly! Highly effective!

it's good to see both of you guys talk again

I just used this prompt... and it worked GREAT: Me: You are to play the role of my good natured German instructor. You are to follow two rules: Rule 1 - You will always correct my German if I make an error and explain what I said wrong. Rule 2 - You will always reply first in German then second in English. If you understand, then please repeat these two rules while applying both rules. ChatGPT: Ja, ich verstehe. Regel eins besagt, dass ich immer Ihren deutschen Fehler korrigiere und erkläre, was Sie falsch gesagt haben. Regel zwei besagt, dass ich immer zuerst auf Deutsch antworte und dann auf Englisch. Wenn Sie möchten, können Sie beginnen. Yes, I understand. Rule one states that I will always correct your German errors and explain what you said wrong. Rule two states that I will always reply first in German and then in English. If you'd like, you can start.

GREAT! MANY THANKS . Very inspiring!. BRAVO!!!

My wife and I just saw the play English this past weekend. It was a moving 1.5 hours devoted to all the meanings of language in our lives. Can't recommend it highly enough. AI can never replace language and it's rich expressiveness, a way of forming relationships, and emotions in our human culture.

easy to use the transcribe function in iOS or Android to enter your text into ChatGPT entry field, so you do not have to type only.

If there were apps that woild automatically dual subtitle, or even pause the original recording, and redupe what was said in the previous recording into another language, it would be legendary. The patterns would be noticed so quickly.

Steve! thank you for all these years.

The more time I spend learning languages and watching Steve's videos the more I feel like I should find a way to work with him hahaha it's good to see "o brilho no olho".

We are actually building something like chatgpt focusing on language learning. We call it Quazel and you can have open ended conversations with it 🙌.

Both videos from you and Luka appeared at the same time!

Thanks to know your Channel and ready to learn Languages with you.

Just discovered this awesome tool using chatgpt for learning Arabic. If you can make a video about it in case you find the tool interesting. I typed into chatgpt the below and it generated 100s of sentences I could learn from. There were some minor mistakes but I think it is ok. Can you prepare a cloze test in the following format: قَرَأَ محمدُ ال_______ بِتَمْهِيدٍ، ثُمَّ _______ الْكِتَابَ كُلَّهُ. أ- بابَ / قرأَ ب- كِتابَ / رَفَعَ ج- مَدْرَسَةَ / أكْمَلَ د- قَلَمَ / نَظَرَ To complete the passage, choose the appropriate word from the options above to fill in the blanks. The correct answers are "كِتابَ" and "أكْمَلَ", so the completed passage would read: "قَرَأَ محمدُ الكِتابَ بِتَمْهِيدٍ، ثُمَّ أكْمَلَ الْكِتَابَ كُلَّهُ." Translation: "Mohammed read the book with an introduction, then he completed the entire book."

I found it very useful for generating specific vocabulary. For instance, I asked it to provide a list of words pertaining to yoga, cooking, the difference in vocabulary between Quebec and France. Within 5 seconds it presented lists for each category. I also requested to have a dialogue between me and ChatAI regarding traveling in Europe and using a C1 level. I asked for corrections if I made mistakes. I like this! However, I noticed that a few quirks in grammar. I tried to use the personal infinitive in Portuguese and it said I should be using the subjunctive when I knew I was correct. I think you can have fun with this tool. I am surprised that Steve and his friend were not really enthusiastic by it but to each his own.

I think my method to learn and teach languages will become # 1 worldwide (the Abitbol-Syntaxia method). I am currently working with the data for French and English and my books should be ready in a year and a half. Actually I don't believe I'll put a site on internet but who knows? My method is based on a different way to approach the traditional concepts of grammar. Actually I like the communicative approach and I don't want my method to replace it. I also like grammar and I don't want to replace it either. So I'll do what Russians do when they teach their language to fereigners: They use COMBOS, they combine methods. I'll keep you informed.

ChatGPT is decent enough for explaining grammar and conjunctions. Have it make example sentences for words you’re learning. Take a word list and tell it to use them all in a story. Or copy paste a story from LingQ and tell it to rewrite the story using most of the same words.

Flashcards/SRS/ANKI is testing. Match pairs/duolingo is testing. Testing is not learning. Testing comes AFTER you learn. Dopamine/shmopamine. If you want that, kill something in a video game.

Hello Mr. Kauffman. I'm from Puerto Ricos 🇵🇷 and i'm learning many languages at the same time. Thanks You for inspire me.

Love you, guys! Lots of respect to Steve for keeping up with and welcoming the progress!

Love both of you ❤️🤗

I love these two guys... But I hate when they are negative about DUOLINGO... By the way is LingQ free??????

I didn't know Luca, I liked him though. Thanks for sharing this content. I've learned as always.

Very encouraging.

My favorite use-case for chatGPT right now is that I can ask why a specific word is used in a sentence. I can also ask chatGPT how a sentence changes if I use a different word in it's place.

Agree with Luca 💯% !

ChatGPT-4 makes much(!) less mistakes etc. (I wouldn’t want to go back to version 3, but the availability of version 4 is really poor at the moment...) I think I will try to use it for a normal and a literal translations and grammar questions for „my own learning material“ to speed up the process, so that I can spend more time on listening etc. and less time searching for possible explanations or the best translation of a word, because ChatGPT understands context. (I create my own material by playing God of War on PS5 in Japanese with Japanese subtitles and upload the video on my private KZfaq channel after cutting it. Then I usually sit down, write the text in a document and try to figure everything out, which usually takes a very long time... My goal is usually to have a translation below every unknown word and a good understanding of the meaning of the sentence, before I start listening.) Here is a video to get more inspiration on how to use it for language learning: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qb5_dMSfsMi8cYU.html

I would not be able to consider studying Hungarian without the internet but it's still a struggle to find CI content with embedded subtitles. To wit, there are still challenges which are language specific even with technological advances

Chat GPT is amazing for creating short stories in any language at any level. I tie this with Reverso.

I've been using it to prepare graded reading in TW Mandarin, Japanese, and Mexican and Puerto Rican vernacular Spanish. I'm also looking at using the OpenAI API directly to grade down (and elaborate on) more advanced material.

I think if chat gpt can be used to have conversations, and it can respond like a native speaker, and can understand how to respond in ways useful to language learning, this could possibly become the single greatest advance to language learning ever. If ai software can do this same thing with speech, respond like a native speaker and teach the language.. that's game over for language teachers

I think chatGPT would assist people bridge language barriers. And also image generators in llet's say trying to show people what you mean by justs generating an image. And also, chat bots could also learn multiple languages and have a conversation for practice.

ChatGPT is the best thing that has happened to my language learning experience so far.

Interesting conversation

Personally, I think ChatGPT is great at recommending very specific content, like swedish gaming youtubers that are not playing Minecraft or Turkish dramas that are more action-based. Things like that can be a lot more useful than a verb conjugation you can google in 3 seconds anyway.

I use duolingo and I have been hoping they include a conversational model of gaming into it, which asks us questions and we buy things from shops and interact with characters and move ahead the level, coz reading sentences and third person narration is not that useful in developing language.

Ohh I was waiting for this

I was looking forward to your attitude towards GPT chat and glad to hear your thoughts are identical to what I think about the new device. There should be no fear at all that modern devices rob people of their jobs, they create new jobs. Regarding language learning I always recommend my students to use all available tools. Whether you learn a language using a book, or a tape, or radio, or video, or a vlog, or a translator , or IK, finally you speak or communicate in writing to a human being.

My favorite KZfaqrs in one video ❤️

EXCELLENT 👏👏👏👏 CHARLES STAUDT FROM BRAZIL 🇧🇷

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can see that Luca isn't a native speaker, but damn his english is good. Hats off to you man.

I have been onto Lingq app but can't find the Thai language. Is it on there and I just can't find it? Hoping you can help. I love your talks and have already learned much. We are going to Thailand in July with a view to moving from Australia. Thank you

It very useful and interesting conversation for me. Now I am learning English, because it is not my advice language.

You guys helped me not feel guilty about not using Chat GPT yet !🤗

When u Love IT and Languages this is crazy good

AIs could be of use in language learning through visualization. Imagine utilizing Bluewillow AI to generate images of a certain culture to help better understand the people and the language.

Очень интересная беседа. Спасибо за цитату про время, сжираемое экраном и книги, питающие наш разум!👍

ChatGPT is much better at translating than Google Translate or Deepl. I use it regularly to translate from Japanese and it's very helpful. I can explain the context of the sentence (for better translation) or ask for details (words, grammar, etc.) about what has been translated. I like it so much that I've created an iOS shortcut to generate translations (via the OpenAI API) and I look forward to the day when it's integrated into LingQ, hopefully not too far away!

I use bing chat to practice my english speaking skills. It is fantastic🎉

Amazing....❤

I use chat gpt everyday to improve my written french. And it's just amazing. If you combine it with tools like google translation or natural reader for listening and speaking practice, you will improve very fast. Duo Lingo and other methods are a joke compared to what chat gpt can do for you in terms of language learning. Of course you need to know how to use it. Sorry for the bad English. I'm brazilian and I haven't used chat gpt for improving my English yet, lol.

I've been using Google translate for 3 years or 4 years not sure, Google translate might be wrong in translating certain sentences, but it's better that nothing, agreed, i use Google stranslate to translate words that i don't know in English, it's quite useful for me.😁

Language instructors should learn all the affordances of these tech tools and use them appropriately in the classroom. 90% of students cannot learn by themselves, they need someone to direct them (ZPD) at least at their earlier phases of their learning.

AI is going to be an extremely useful language learning tool, for those who know how to use it.

Hi Lucas, i'm new to chatgpt... can you share how to make use of my android smartphone for chatgpt ? Awaiting & thanks in advance.

Is there any updates on Conversational AI ? This video is 7 months old and I've heard about Conversational AI and I really would like to know how to get it. Please help me if you can.

The future won't only have machines to translate our words. It will have machines to help us speak thousands of languages.

Can u tell me how i speak english what book i can reading ,,,

can you recommend any good french podcasts?

Audiovisuals for dyslexics too.

I love mr. Steve Kaufmann

🎉

Anyone can explain to me why the sentence " till there 'was' you, is correct instead of "till there 'were' you"? Thank you! The same : I didn't think was you. And not " were you. Thank you so much.

Great channel ongoing eh

Very true about technology devouring us if we’re not rooted and grounded in our purpose!

Man the thinker .

👍🐁 we also learn a lot using ChatGPT 😊🐁👍

If Chat GDP were a little better at Korean and could lookup words, give examples, and generate content I would absolutely use it and I would use it a lot for my learning. Graded readers are too practical, politically correct, and boring but if the AI could think outside of a teacher’s or textbook publisher’s box and write stuff that’s at least weird it could be great.

Lots of great ideas here about how to use (or not use) the current generation of AI language models. I got distracted, though, by the discussion of flash cards. My experience has been that a handful of high-frequency words, often those that describe abstract relationships, really don’t stick well with lots of reading even though I see them (and look them up) all the time. I have found targeted flash card practice really helpful at making these words stick in my memory. In a typical day, I might have one to two hours of reading and listening in my TL and five to ten minutes of flash card review of just those frequent words that haven’t stuck for me. But, I find that small amount of time is disproportionate in improving both my listening and reading comprehension. (I note that this time expenditure is consistent with Steve’s five to ten percent suggestion, and I find it’s plenty to make a difference.)

Привіт Стів 😀👋
