I'm a 26 years old Azerbaijani and able to speak 8 languages. Watching your videos motivates me to learn more every day. I wish I could meet you in person and exchange ideas. I have a huge respect for you. Good luck.
You are honestly a huge inspiration for young language learners like me. A lot of people don't attempt to do things like this because they don't know how to start, but you give away all of your life experiences through these videos for free. I cannot explain how grateful I am for these videos. It is also great that you are traveling around the world (putting your languages to good use, I hope lol). I've advocated for ChatGPT as a supplement since day 1 but many people don't think it is good to use for language learning. Obviously it may not be always accurate but is evolving everyday. I always say that we live in the best time in history to learn languages for a myriad of reasons so we should not take it for granted. Good luck on all of your future language learning endeavors!
This is great! It's whats somebody called building Islands. Indeed ChatGpt helps with these in the well resourced languages. In medium resourced languages, like Bulgarian, it was already not so useful, AI tools already start hallucinating
Thank you for sharing your lesson with the teacher. It's interesting to see that she gave you edits in several places. Do you find that the output of GPT-4 is typically grammatically correct, but there are issues with word choices? You mentioned using Google Translate to check your translation. I would also recommend trying to chat with multiple other models, such as Claude and Gemini, to see if they have any feedback about the translation. Sometimes different models will have unique things to say when copy editing. Another exercise I like to do, which is similar to this one, is to do bilingual journal entries. First I write a journal entry in English, then do my best to translate it into my target languages. Then, I prompt GPT-4 to give me feedback on my attempt at a translation. Afterward, that feedback can be reviewed with a tutor. You can learn a lot about word usage, differences between words, and idiomatic expressions by doing this.
It's interesting to see you learning Korean (I'm learning Korean too) and I've had a couple tutors use Japanese as a lingua franca instead of English in my lessons. It always throws me for a loop using a different language than English for this but there are many Korean speakers that are more comfortable speaking Japanese than English. I tried doing something similar for a self introduction using Papago but didn't straight up ask the tutor to edit and read it for me - I tried to use it when I introduced myself. It was a good exercise but sharing my script would have gotten better feedback and if I had them record I could use that to study with too. But I didn't do all the follow through you described to get it down pat either. I got bored and moved on to other activities 😂😂 but these monologues I think are fantastic for self studying. Especially getting a nice self introduction memorized gives you a nice in when meeting people and a good confidence boost. It's going to be super useful. I also blog in English about studying languages and have been meaning to translate that for self study too. A lot of Koreans/Japanese think it's weird that I blog in English and not my target language. There's a few reasons but the two big ones are that writing in a foreign language especially one with a different alphabet like Korean is just slow and painful (I can't touch type Hangul) and if I write in a target language then only speakers of those languages can read it but if I blog in English the whole world can read it (ok, an exaggeration but it's the common language of the Internet.)
For over decades, I have often studied my target language in a similar language I know well... I guess it takes getting used to it. There is the benefit of clearly seeing the differences and similarities, so I am less apt to mix them in action.

Thanks so much... now I am in Kyrgyzstan... some day I will get to Azerbaijan again...

Obviously this will keep improving. The direction is great
Yes, you have to double check what it gives you.

Thanks for the advice. ChatGPT-4 usually is grammatically correct as you say, the wording is usually the issue.
I'm learning English. Give me your advice and tips
As I said in the video, it really helps to create your own customized learning materials.

Dobrá práca 👍
Thanks
Colombia piqued my interest because of a historical telenovela I am currently watching, I will see what ChatGPT can do for Portuguese and Spanish.
Great idea 💡
are you speak urdu or hindi?
Yes
Do you speak Khmer?
Not yet
@@polyglotdreams I love your channel. Keep up the good work! I get to learn about languages I haven't studied yet.
You’re my hero 😍 47 languages! I speak 4 (and a half) and I’d like to study more ❤
Mariangela
Thanks so much for sharing that.
what is the half
