One thing that ChatGPT can be good for is learning a language, actually.
And let's look at some examples of how you can apply that.
And let's say the language we want to learn is Spanish.
So there's different things you can do.
So let's say for example I want to work on my vocabulary.
I could say teach me ten useful Spanish words related to shopping with example sentences.
And that's just a very simple way to get started.
And maybe I'm just using it for traveling.
Or maybe I really want to learn Spanish in detail, but I can do that and it'll give me all these different
things.
And then it'll give me a word like tienda, which means store or shop, and then voy a la tienda a comprar
pan, pan or pan.
I'm going to the store to buy bread.
Right.
So later we're going to talk about pronunciation.
But you can see it's giving me some of these words and some of the different things that I can do.
Another thing I can do too is in addition to vocabularies help you with your grammar.
So let's say you want to you have like Sara and estar in Spanish and excuse my Spanish.
I don't speak Spanish or I know a little bit.
So I'm going to probably get that wrong from my Spanish student.
Sorry, but this is where you're learning, right?
Just like if you're learning English or another language.
So you can, you know, where you get something tricky like Sara and and Sarah, and then also asking
her to use examples is always good too.
So it could give you the definition used for permanent or defining characteristics.
And a star is used for a temporary state or location that might mean something.
But the examples where it's really helped like more permanent or defining like she is a doctor and occupation
has more permanent, permanent, permanent, but more permanent than let's say I am tired, right?
A star, a stoic, and I am tired.
So you can use it for grammar as well.
And it's nice that they give you some quick tips to here, like use Sarah for for what something is
and then a star for how or where it is is a real thing too.
And you can do like a little mini quiz or practice activity.
So kind of quiz you on that stuff or give you ideas to keep with your learning.
So as you build on those building blocks, then you can start interacting with ChatGPT as terms of chatting
with it.
You know, pretend I'm in a restaurant speaking.
You be the waiter ChatGPT that is, and let's practice ordering food, right?
And so now you can apply those concepts.
They'll say, Perfecto, let's pretend you're in the restaurant.
I'll be your camarero waiter and you be the client.
Customer?
Sorry.
Again.
Probably making that all really bad, right?
But see how it's kind of walking through.
Bienvenidos a la buena vida.
And then dessert menu.
Dessert menu.
Right.
Welcome to the restaurant.
Would you like to see the menu?
So I'm learning.
I'm glad that they're translating that for me too.
And then you can say something like this.
And when you're ready I'll keep the conversation going.
Or you can say your turn to respond.
You can say, don't give me that.
Um, uh, maybe I just want to say si.
Yes.
Just si.
And then it'll give me an answer based on that, uh, muy bien or whatever.
And you can ask it for feedback on your conversation.
What were you doing?
Well, what could you have done better?
Um, all that.
So you can have that interactive customization or conversation, give it more detail in terms of how
you want to react.
You know, where maybe I don't want these these, these clues.
Or then again, if I'm really just starting, maybe I do want the clues.
Now.
You see it says here like gracias, but maybe you're not sure how to pronounce that.
Gracias.
How do you pronounce that?
You can ask ChatGPT in terms of pronunciation.
So how do I pronounce this word?
gracias in Spanish and I'll say what it means.
It says thank you.
And so yes, in most Latin, Spanish or in Spain, which is, you know, there's different dialects
and things, it might be gracias.
And they'll break it down and all that kind of stuff, you know.
And you can start working with it from there.
Another big part of languages is like cultural expressions, you know, and things that are there's
one thing to learn the basic language, but maybe you want to look at some common Spanish expressions
and when to use them, um, or whatever languages you're using.
I'm using Spanish as an example.
But, you know, things like we might say like all the time, like, how's it going?
Or how are you?
How will we say that in Spanish?
And what are they using?
You know, what a shame.
That's too bad.
Might be real common.
Or maybe in your culture language.
You don't say these types of words, but here they might say they might.
Estoy de acuerdo I agree, you know.
And when to express that.
So you can start learning some of these things.
You can even have it make flashcards or a mini quiz to practice these.
Certainly if you saw another lesson, you can do translation here.
I'm asking you to translate this English paragraph into Spanish and explain each sentence.
And this is about Tempranillo, which is a type of wine.
So I could just submit that.
And it's going to basically translate this English English sentence that you see here into Spanish.
And here is K-s-l Tempranillo.
And it kind of goes through it.
That is Tempranillo is a black grape variety widely grown to make full bodied red wines in its native
Spain.
Right.
And then it breaks down each of these parts.
Again, this is all about helping you to learn a language so different ways that you can use to learn
this language by breaking out things that maybe you understand in your native language, and then having
it break it out even more.
In terms of breaking that down, in terms of the language you're trying to learn.
And one other way you can do this is to build study plans.
Give me a 30 day study plan, um, let's say to help me with my holiday trip to Spain.
All right.
You know, let's say I just want to have some common phrases, common phrases and travel use.
All right.
So let's say I'm just going to travel to Spain versus.
Let's say I want to have some that might take a longer period where I want to really learn the language,
um, or I'm using it for business purposes, but let's say I want to study for the next 30 days, and
I want to travel to Spain.
So I go to Spain.
I'm ready.
Right.
Here are some things.
Just 15 to 20 minutes a day.
And here we go.
Week one basics and greetings.
And give me some focus.
What to practice on.
Hola.
Como estas?
Buenos dias.
Buenas noches I'm Steve, I like that it knows me.
Como se llamas?
Soy de.
So again, my Spanish speaking friends here.
Hopefully I'm doing okay.
Different months and years lunes, Martes, etc...
Okay a polite words like por favor and gracias.
And then week two you learn these different things and it's oriented, orientated towards these types
of things because I told it to be travel oriented versus, let's say, something else like business
oriented.
You know, let me stop this.
And I could say, you know, give it to me in business or whatever.
So there you go.
You can learn language and help you with your learning around languages by interacting and using ChatGPT.
