I don’t know if I can trust a i; it might steal one of my girlfriends…. ❤ It could pretend to be me! 😱
I don't know if this is an original idea on my part or if many others have also done this, but I will instruct ChatGPT to create a written dialogue between two or more people in Spanish (my target language) and then I will read it outloud, working on my pronunciation and hopefully adding some new vocabulary. What's great about this is I can practice talking about any topic I want and at whatever level I want. And of course if there are parts I don’t understand, I can ask it to explain. I really enjoy using ChatGPT
Great idea! Ima do that!
@@mshazazAlso you can ask him to write you all the most important grammar with the examples and you can aski him if you dont understand something. Its almost like having a tutor and its free.
@@abc-vw8iy yeah or even roleplay with him to practice conversations, and if on mobile call him and speak with him with whatever language u want
I do the same! For German :]
its so cool that im italian and understood 80% of the spanish spoken in the video, and i never tried to learn spanish
That 's because italian, along with portuguese, are the languages with the most similarities to Spanish.
@@gonzaloherrera5184 That's because the three languages come from Latin
These are fantastic ideas! I especially love the crosstalk suggestion. I’ve found that both ChatGPT and Claude are fantastic for languages - way better than Google Translate at understanding nuance, context, and level of formality.
Some things I have done: 1. Take a photo of a page from a grammar book and prompt “Can you give me some more exercises on this topic?” 2. Ask it to give me example sentences using new words that I’m learning 3. Ask it to help me distinguish between similar words 4. “Give me vocabulary for talking about snow and ice” 5. “Here’s an email I’m writing to a friend, help me make it sound more colloquial and friendly” 6. “I’d like to chat about my day - can you ask follow-up questions that will help me practice different tenses of the subjunctive”
1. use chat GPT. Have it role play a story character. Like Dumbledore, Thor, Superman , Peter Parker, Luffy Rick or Morty whoever you want. Somebody you will find interesting or funny.
2. Have chat GPT and talk about your favorite topics
3. use chat GPT play games.
4. Create your own characters.
5. Take a book you like and have it translate a sentence at first. Move to paragraphs and then chapters to the target language.
Try to have fun more you do this the more likely you will learn your target language. the traditional way to learn language is boring. You will be learning how to order coffee and you hate coffee. I also heard a CZcamsr one say if you try to learn a language you should pick a dialect. There might be four or five ways to say a word. It's the same word, but it's pronounced a little differently. Each of those words might be the same word but in different dialects. why try to learn multiple ways to say the same word. And chat GPT is good at helping you with a dialect. I thought it was some good advice. When I learn my second language. And you sound like a native when you do this.
Really enjoyed this. A fun exercise I've done is get it to write a story with me, and I ask it to produce an image representing each scene. It kept me more engaged.
Nice! Thanks for watching
I always start my new chatGPT chats with "Do you speak {Language}?" in my target language. So, for Spanish it would be "Hablas Español?" To which ChatGPT will reply in Spanish. This fixes its American accent when speaking.
Are you using the advanced voice mode or the standard GPT 4o? When I use the standard free version of GPT 4o this doesn't seem to work. I would love to see examples where it speaks with a good Italian accent so I can learn from it.
I was skeptical about using chat gpt for language learnings but the tips you shared here are honestly such good ideas, especially with chatgpt's ability to read out loud. Thanks!
Thank you, I really appreciate it
The biggest problem is that while you're speaking to ChatGPT over voice, if you happen to pause for 2 seconds, it will jump right in and start responding as if you've completed your sentence. Not very beginner friendly way to practice a language speech if you ask me
I've found that if you hold your finger on the screen, it will let you pause as long as you want. I was also having issues with this.
@@samatwood8734 I wish I knew this before. Thanks for sharing
I uploaded a copy of the vocabulary I already know in Russia and asked ChatGPT to create 2 short stories using mainly those vocabulary words and it worked amazingly. Just another alternative.
Nice!
Your accent is so good!!
Hahahah, thanks! It doesn't feel like it some days!
Nice video. Steve Kaufmann did a similar video and mentioned this video you made inspired him to share his own opinion.
That’s blown my mind! Thanks so much for letting me know 🙏
Nice! I didn't know about this mic function in the app!
Nice, I get the point. Cool. But I suspect the word dry-cleaners is not a top 200 word 🙂
I must say i struggled at first to understand exactly how to use chatgpt for language learning.
I know i need vocab, and grammar come second, and acquiring is better than memorising.
I think i finally understand much better on how to utilise it now thanks to you.
Thank you for the video.
I will try my best.
I think I’ll write a book now!! Well, I might have to tell people that ChatGPT wrote it for me 😮
It would be huge for language learning when they roll out the real voice to voice feature( Now it's still voice to text to text to voice). It would even be able to correct your pronunciation and accent.
12:22 when you lead this topic in, I had my reservations.
But as a resources to practice conversations in a target language, it's a scary powerful tool.
Imagine prompts as: "Pretend we are having a Japanese conversation at a bus stop near Osaka and you are an elderly lady that is impressed with my Japanese skills." or "Pretend we are at a local Portuguese fish market and we are having small talk about your life as a fisherman in Portuguese."
You can hear the AI also picking up (regional) accents, to enhance immersion and you getting familiar with those.
Possibilities are almost limitless.
A use that is not new is for AI to build Q&A style quizzes for structures that I'm working on (translating sentences into shorter sentences using direct and indirect object pronouns) that I can then add into Anki.
10:50
The new GPT-Voice version (still in the roll-out-phase) can now change the speed of it's voice and also much more if you ask it.
**use to chat gpt to learn a language :
_make stories or summarise fiction books using the most important 1000 word , or tell it you are a beginer use understandable easy words
_when learning new words write them to chat gpt and tell it to give it a special attention while writing a story (print the stories and have them on your wall to remind you of those words)
_speak to gpt using the audio telling it to use 1000 words or a begginer level
_use cross talk (you talking in a language and gpt talking in another language)
_make gpt pretend to be a friend feeding it informations about him then make conversation with him about a subject
The key to have a good accent is phonetic! Learn phonetic, you will learn any language fast and you will to speak almost native speaker.
La clave para un buen acento es aprender fonética, aprende fonética podrás aprender cualquier idioma rápido y expresarte casi como nativo.
brilliant ideas! thank you :)
Hola Matt! Interesante video, muchas gracias. Siempre veo tus videos, pero sin subtítulos. Saludos.
I think ChatGPT is really useful ! Sometimes, I even do games with it. I ask him to give me the word I describe to him. This is a great game because, we have to think about how to describe things around us. 😅
Sounds good. Besides, I usually learn a new language by reading basic novels and articles. And when I encounter unfamilar words, I usually use Immersive Translate to help me translate and then memorize them. So I think this is an effective learning way.
Really useful thanks man!
Great video!! 👍
Thank you!
I ask chat GPT to write non fiction articles of around 1500 words in Spanish, English & French
Amazing tips. Since I'm also trying to learn Chinese, how would you use ChatGPt to practice languages that don't use our alphabet?
I’m pretty sure you can get chatGPT to write the pinyin for you as well if you need it
Getting creepy from 12:29 but nice video. I gotta pay Chat GPT for the update now.
Since day 1 I use chathpy to learn Chinese and German and it's insane how you can get into the deep meaning of things making it way easier to get the feeling
Yes - this is really cool
Why do you edit out the time it takes for ChatGPT to respond to you, thereby giving a false impression that it is more usable than it really is?
I get what you mean. It's mainly because I think it helps with the pace of the video. There is of course a wait with ChatGPT responses but generally I think it's not too bad
AWESOME!
Hate to be the nerd in the comments but hopefully you'll appreciate the engagement nonetheless.
1. This is not the updated voice model they demo'd recently. This voice option has been available for around a year. Unless you are referring to 4o which was released in May to all users (not just paid). Easy to get confused as they weren't clear about this and a lot of people didn't know the voice option existed.
2. GPT knowledge cutoff is no longer 2021 I believe it's late 2023 or so.

You can simply ask GPT to speak slowly if you want. I'd say a plug-in is not needed
This hasn’t changed language learning at all, real Gs do ajatt
It has to many issues like speaking to fast
Admittedly I'm only on the free tier, but it completely bombed on Navajo.
Background: There's a Navajo-language dub of Star Wars. A magazine interviewer asked the translators what the most difficult part of translating was. Was it coming up with new words? The translators said, "No, we can say 'sand people'." They said that, seriously, that most difficult thing was that a lot of George Lucas's dialogue didn't make any sense.
Anyway, nominal compounds are easy in Navajo. You just stick the nouns together, and their term for 'sand people' turned out to be just 'sand' and 'people'.
So, I put it to ChatGPT:
Me:
How do you say 'sand people' in Navajo?
ChatGPT"
In Navajo, "sand people" can be translated as "Tó Diné", where "Tó" means "sand" and "Diné" means "people". Therefore, "Tó Diné" would be the closest translation for "sand people".
Me:
Tó doesn't mean sand, though. It means water.
ChatGPT
You are correct. My mistake. The word "tó" indeed means "water" in Navajo. The correct translation for "sand people" would be "Shíí Diné":
"Shíí" means "sand."
"Diné" means "people."
So, "sand people" in Navajo would be "Shíí Diné".
Me:
No, the correct translation is "séí diné"
ChatGPT
You're right. "Sand people" in Navajo is correctly translated as "séí diné":
"Séí" means "sand."
"Diné" means "people."
So, "sand people" would be "séí diné."
Did you get any response from people who know how to fix printers? Can't get mine working either
🤣
You can’t learn any language with it because it doesn’t know all languages. In fact it knows a few languages
I think it depends on the language. ChatGPT is still incredibly bad at Ukrainian. I don't know what language model they use but it makes a lot of mistakes.
Of course, because it перекладає текст з англійської.
I like how all the ai tools are slowly getting better and more available. In a few months this video might be outdated.
I know! 😅
There's signs the AI improvements are leveling off really a lot now. ChatGPT 4.0 actually is slightly worse than 3.5 in a few technical ways IIRC, for instance.
Around 5 min. Mark i noticed like car horno alarm in back ground. Pretty anoying😮
I just don't understand why ChatGPT has that heavy English accent when speaking Spanish or other languages...
Yeah, it’s not ideal!
My Chatgpt says cannot speak words?! I don't understand
In the bottom there's a headphone icon, just click on it.
👋🏻Do you need to pay any monthly subscription to get all those benefits form the app???
What I showed is the current paid version (4o) but 3.5 is free, albeit it's not quite as good at conversations
@@matt_brooks-green Free users still get access to 4o you just get limited access.
I have a paid version of chat gpt 4 but there is no headphone anywhere just a mic in the right hand corner of the ask me anything section, Is this what I should use instead to get started, i use my ipad for gpt.
I think it is available only on Android. So you will see it on your mobile or tablet, but not desktop or laptop.
Great video but I think Dave would wreck my head, he's too interested in everything you say 😂. Then again you could ask him to tone it down a bit.
Hahahaha. Classic Dave
B' eòlach do sheanair air! 😂 Cha chreid mi gum b' fhiach an leithid air cànan sam bith ach na beagan a tha air an riochdachadh gu nochdmhor air-loidhne. Beurla, Spàinnteis, Portugal, Àrd-Shìneis, Ruiseis...gin eile?
The app isn't perfect because the speech is very fast. This is so sad..so..so..sad
Like I mentioned, you can use it on desktop and some plugins can slow down the speech which is useful
Just asking ChatGPT to talk slower works as well, at least for English when I tested it out.
Not better than having a real teacher that will correct pronunciation... but ok... in the downtime.
bro people bitching on the comments, get over it 💀
Don’t use AI for learning languages, you’ll sound like AI
Just ONE problem with that the words Chat GPT uses are NOT natural, normal or correct. It's just using google translate which at best is around 65% accurate. Don't waste your time.
I’ve run it by tutors online and it’s almost always spot on - sometimes a bit formal but generally not too bad
that is wrong
In Spanish it's good. Of course it has a bad American accent, but its accent in Hebrew irks me more.
I don’t know what paid app that you have used, but I have recently been using Talkpal AI and it is absolutely fantastic. Yes, I paid $70 for the paid premium program, but it is worth it. If you haven’t tried out this app, I really suggest that you give it a shot. The interface is fantastic. Tons of role-play. Debates. It is not for the beginner but if you are at least in advanced beginner or early intermediate, it is fantastic. And no, I don’t work for them and they are not in anyway paying me to say this. Check out this app you will not regret it.
I might check it out at some point. I already pay for ChatGPT though and these subscriptions can start to add up quickly!
