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!
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...?
@@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 😂
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.
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
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.
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?".
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 🥰
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
Very well made and helpful! I recommend telling ChatGPT to format it in way Anki can understand right away. For example for a cloze: your language {{c1::the language you want to learn}}. Then put all in an Excel sheet, save as csv and import to Anki. You can choose that a tab is where a new card starts so Anki knows when. This saves a lot of time and you could for example have a list of 100 sentences and their translations generated very fast (I follow the belief that whole sentences are better for learning a language). Vielen Dank für dein Video!
Before seeing your video, I tried asking Chatgpt to help with learning Spanish and was SO amazed at how drawn in I was. At the end of each session it was like having a good friend giving you a high 5! (Little bit creepy, but...hey I'll take it!) Thanks for all the great suggestions of how else to use Chatgpt for learning!
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.
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
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
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.
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)
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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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 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 TH-cam for grammar analysis and TH-camrs (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... 😊
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!!
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.
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
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!
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.
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.🎉🎉🎉
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?
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!
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. :)
@@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 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.
Hi guys, I made a prompt to use with the GPT that has been useful to learn my target language (American English in my case). I will share it here: You will provide a rating for the English text you submit, following this scale: 4 - Excellent. No grammatical errors, perfectly polished, and sounds fluent. 3 - Few or no grammatical errors, but not as polished as it should be. 2 - Multiple grammatical errors and lacks polish. 1 - Hardly understandable by a native speaker. Every time you provide an English text, you will first make corrections divided into two sections: the first will consist of formal corrections, including grammar, structure, and syntax. The second section will contain deeper suggestions to make the text more natural and fluent. During this stage, formal and structural errors will be overlooked, with the focus on modifying the text to enhance its flow. All corrections will be numbered, and no modifications will be made to my original text itself, only corrective suggestions. Once this is complete, in the second stage, you will modify your original text and provide two corrected versions: one that only corrects grammar, structure, and spelling errors, and another that makes the text more polished while remaining grammatically correct. You just have to change the "English" for the language you have in mind and be happy. Sorry for any mistakes
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.
Not so.. if you learn the most common vocabulary from a list then you will have an automatic advantage when you see any of those word “in context.” It is with new words which it will be beneficial to use any and all context to come close or closer to the meaning of the new words. The main thing is to not waste time looking up words but have a working vocabulary at the onset! ❤

Yep I use it with bowser plugins, so I can get voice and use the microphone for speech input. You can even change the language settings in the browser app.
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.
I'm a 45 yo Greek trying to learn Korean (because I like kpop). I've found out the best way is to learn song lyrics! As for AI assistants like ChatGPT I tried -unsuccessfully- to make the AI have a simple conversation with me in Korean but I instructed the AI to ONLY use the words from specific song lyrics, that is lyrics that I know. It didn't quite go as planned. The resulting vocabulary was too small for a meaningful conversation. So I allowed the AI to select 10 extra words of its choosing to facilitate proper sentence formation. It had difficulty complying with the instructions. I'll try some other AI (there's so many of them now)
I will definitely try your prompts. I’m currently learning english and was wondering how useful would it be to combine chatgpt with an online tutor for speaking practice? Do you think it would be more effective?
I am about to appear in the 3rd level of my Chinese language exam, I was aware of GPT but didn't know how can I use it for studying as well. Trust me I just recently found out a way of learning with chat GPT and it BOOMED my learnings. It's 100% helpful.
love this, i've been doing the same... except i'm lazy and only use CHATGPT to chit chat. The best way to learn is talking with a native, so i ask it to only speak to me in italian ( the language i'm learning) about topics i'm interested, to ask me questions, to grade my answers and show my mistakes ( or which words would be better in xyz situaion). Ofc i still use other methods, but i've learned in weeks more than i did in months
(chuckling) Minus the Boomer jab, I loved the video, and even then... I understand the poke, and wouldn't call it entirely unwarranted. From a visual standpoint, the book you chose for the thumbnail *immediately* caught my eye... and may have helped reel me in. Own both that and v2, and think they're both excellent. I'm probably not the person to do it, but I'd even love to do/see a Japanese variation on that theme. Anyway... I love language in general. The fact that we can make squeaks and squawks and hisses and clicks and whatever at each other, and often (mostly) successfully transfer a thought that occurred in our own minds over to someone else's with the power of... air compression! ...just astounds me. So... thank you for this. In my own explorations with ChatCPT, Claude, etc, I hadn't wandered into language-learning terrain yet. Great. Yet another time-sink. Seriously, though... I'll absolutley be exploring the ideas you presented here. Thank you.
there are also plugins that make it possible for you to speak to it (chatgpt) and get an audio response. In other words, practice your speaking and comprehension skills by having a conversation! This in essence is the biggest break-through for accelerated learning.

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 😂
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-
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.
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.
Great Idea! Thanks for sharing!
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
True, you don't need hard work to learn a language, just "patience and consistency." Well said.
@ScottJackson420 😮
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.
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?

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.
Do you know the joke about chat GPT in French? " Chat, J'ai petee ! [ cat, I farted! ]
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 🥰
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!
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.
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
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!
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
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!
Very well made and helpful! I recommend telling ChatGPT to format it in way Anki can understand right away. For example for a cloze: your language {{c1::the language you want to learn}}. Then put all in an Excel sheet, save as csv and import to Anki. You can choose that a tab is where a new card starts so Anki knows when. This saves a lot of time and you could for example have a list of 100 sentences and their translations generated very fast (I follow the belief that whole sentences are better for learning a language). Vielen Dank für dein Video!
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.
Before seeing your video, I tried asking Chatgpt to help with learning Spanish and was SO amazed at how drawn in I was. At the end of each session it was like having a good friend giving you a high 5! (Little bit creepy, but...hey I'll take it!) Thanks for all the great suggestions of how else to use Chatgpt for learning!
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?
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
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"?
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
Absolutely brilliant video. As a Dyslexic with ADHD, even Learning English was hard and like you I get bored so quickly when learning anything.

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.

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.
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 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
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!
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

You’re videos are concise, thorough, informative, well-spoken, and to top it off the presenter is pretty
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 TH-cam for grammar analysis and TH-camrs (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... 😊
Hey when you type in these word from the table you coul also just export these as CSV data and then upload in anki or anything else like study smart
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!!
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.
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
Hi! discvered you recently and really been enjoying your content! you inspired me to use chatgpt in my learning as well, thanks a lot !

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 so much! Love learning from younger people.
I thought that in the end you were going to say something more than "Adios" in Spanish.😊

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 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.
Very inspirational. Thumbs up to you and ChatGiWiTi 😂
Brilliant, since I started following you my skills and organization of how to use my Chatgpt has increased tremendously, thank you
So are you fluent?
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.
Hi guys, I made a prompt to use with the GPT that has been useful to learn my target language (American English in my case). I will share it here: You will provide a rating for the English text you submit, following this scale: 4 - Excellent. No grammatical errors, perfectly polished, and sounds fluent. 3 - Few or no grammatical errors, but not as polished as it should be. 2 - Multiple grammatical errors and lacks polish. 1 - Hardly understandable by a native speaker.
Every time you provide an English text, you will first make corrections divided into two sections: the first will consist of formal corrections, including grammar, structure, and syntax. The second section will contain deeper suggestions to make the text more natural and fluent. During this stage, formal and structural errors will be overlooked, with the focus on modifying the text to enhance its flow. All corrections will be numbered, and no modifications will be made to my original text itself, only corrective suggestions.
Once this is complete, in the second stage, you will modify your original text and provide two corrected versions: one that only corrects grammar, structure, and spelling errors, and another that makes the text more polished while remaining grammatically correct.
You just have to change the "English" for the language you have in mind and be happy. Sorry for any mistakes
Thanks! I've been doing this lately, too, but your prompts are better, and you get better results. I'm about to up my game.
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.

Method 3 I completely disagree with, you should ALWAYS learn vocab in context, or you a)wont remember it and b) wont be able to use it.
Not so.. if you learn the most common vocabulary from a list then you will have an automatic advantage when you see any of those word “in context.” It is with new words which it will be beneficial to use any and all context to come close or closer to the meaning of the new words. The main thing is to not waste time looking up words but have a working vocabulary at the onset! ❤

Wow this is so helpful. I've started to learn new languages, French and Arabic, at the age of 43.
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.
I’ve been ChatGPT for almost everything I want to do or learn 😅 It’s actually amazing, thanks for your video though 😊
This is brilliant! Well done. I'm going to use this to brush up on my Spanish before my medical mission in December.
This channel has helped me out so much.
I suggest making a video about using ChatGPT to learn how to play an instrument
I'm a 45 yo Greek trying to learn Korean (because I like kpop). I've found out the best way is to learn song lyrics! As for AI assistants like ChatGPT I tried -unsuccessfully- to make the AI have a simple conversation with me in Korean but I instructed the AI to ONLY use the words from specific song lyrics, that is lyrics that I know. It didn't quite go as planned. The resulting vocabulary was too small for a meaningful conversation. So I allowed the AI to select 10 extra words of its choosing to facilitate proper sentence formation. It had difficulty complying with the instructions. I'll try some other AI (there's so many of them now)
Immersive translate can work too. It still has Chatgpt, DeepL and Gemini incorporated to it. It has worked for me.
It's funny how I get recommended this video because I have the same exact book in my hand that you have in your thumbnail 😆

Thanks so much for your tips! Learning languages is my passion and such tools like chatGPT are amazing 😎😎🔥🔥
love this, i've been doing the same... except i'm lazy and only use CHATGPT to chit chat. The best way to learn is talking with a native, so i ask it to only speak to me in italian ( the language i'm learning) about topics i'm interested, to ask me questions, to grade my answers and show my mistakes ( or which words would be better in xyz situaion). Ofc i still use other methods, but i've learned in weeks more than i did in months
Very helpful prompts! Thanks Bri!
This is exactly what I was looking for on utilizing this useful tool for language learning. Thanks so much for the suggestion- very helpful!
(chuckling) Minus the Boomer jab, I loved the video, and even then... I understand the poke, and wouldn't call it entirely unwarranted. From a visual standpoint, the book you chose for the thumbnail *immediately* caught my eye... and may have helped reel me in. Own both that and v2, and think they're both excellent. I'm probably not the person to do it, but I'd even love to do/see a Japanese variation on that theme.
Anyway... I love language in general. The fact that we can make squeaks and squawks and hisses and clicks and whatever at each other, and often (mostly) successfully transfer a thought that occurred in our own minds over to someone else's with the power of... air compression! ...just astounds me.
So... thank you for this. In my own explorations with ChatCPT, Claude, etc, I hadn't wandered into language-learning terrain yet. Great. Yet another time-sink. Seriously, though... I'll absolutley be exploring the ideas you presented here. Thank you.
there are also plugins that make it possible for you to speak to it (chatgpt) and get an audio response. In other words, practice your speaking and comprehension skills by having a conversation! This in essence is the biggest break-through for accelerated learning.
Great information, thank you Bri! I'm going to give it a try.
