The prompts mentioned are below, feel free to check out the video for extra tips and more context: - Plan prompt: 1. Hi ChatGPT, I want to create a structured plan to learn German as a beginner, practicing for 30 minutes each day. Can you help me design a detailed weekly schedule that includes specific activities for each day in table format? I'd also like recommendations on where to start with grammar. Please provide specific activities and resources. Please also provide tips to stay motivated and track progress. - Vocab prompt: 2. Please create a table with the 200 most common words in [target language] (excluding pronouns, verbs to be, articles etc), including a translation and an example on how to use them. OR: 3. Please create a word cloud with the 50 most common words in the setting of [kitchen] in [target language] (here you can customize the word cloud- let me know if you need some guidance there!) - Conversation: 4. I would like to practice my [target language]. Can you simulate a scenario where I interact with different characters in various settings? Please start with one sentence and wait for my response, correct my grammar, suggest better phrases if needed, and provide cultural tips throughout the conversation. E.g. Breakfast at a Café, arrival at the airport, checkin at a hotel, dinner at restaurant… etc OR: 5. I'd like to practice my [target language] by engaging in some role-playing scenarios. Let's start with a scenario where I'm a tourist visiting a new country. Please play the role of various characters I'll encounter during my trip. Start with one sentence and wait for my response. Throughout this adventure, please correct my grammar, suggest better phrases, and provide cultural tips relevant to the scenario Variations: hero on a quest, detective story, friendly aliens… etc - Writing prompt: 6. I want to improve my writing in [target language]. Can you give me a writing prompt with a creative twist, starting with simple topics for beginners? After I write, please provide feedback on my grammar, style, and vocabulary. Suggest better phrases where applicable. - Grammar: 7. What are the broad categories of grammar in [target language]? OR: 8. Can you please make a table about [Pronouns] in [target language], include examples and any tips you have that could help me learn them easier Other examples include 9.

Ok, I gave it this prompt: please give me a dual language (Lithuanian and English) one month lease agreement for a flat with rent set at 400 euros and the value of the flat set at 100,000 euros. I want the lease to be complete and standard, not shortened. And it gave me a very short lease that named both parties the Tenant in Lithuanian; it put the flat in Vilnius, but put Lithuanian as the second language, it provided that the contract was governed by the laws of Lithuania, but did not set Lithuanian as the primary language, it did state that the tenant was responsible for damages, but did not set a limit based on the value of the flat or a mechanism for reimbursement including deductions from the deposit demanded, it set a one month notice for terminating the lease (the starting date was open, so perhaps that is why), and last, it translated 'in witness thereof' into Lithuanian so poorly that I doubt anyone could understand it. Lithuanian phrases it far differently. So, this 'document' had no validity (too incomplete) and was of no training value either as it would have done little to prepare the reader for a real contract in Lithuanian, which uses far more complex sentences in this case.

Also, I thought that stress is good to release the best ideas to solve a problem?!

@CasanovaExplains 4 дня назад

I think here it is important to distinguish between positive stress or "eustress" that can, in small doses under a short amount of time, stimulate our "hero factor" or survival instinct when your brain gets in the state of "I need to do this to survive", therefore you outperform yourself and produce solutions you could have never thought of otherwise. This is triggered by extraordinary situations that surpass a certain threshold. On the other hand, chronic stress or stress that does not reach that survival instinct threshold, is quite damaging and demotivating. It feels bad and unproductive, and your brain will try to avoid feeling that way, so you avoid the task entirely or just try to do it half-heartedly to get done as fast as possible and go back to the things that feel good. If you make the task feel good however, there's nothing to avoid and your brain is relaxed, and that is when it blesses you with creative ideas and solutions.

Can chatgbt help with less famous languages such as Estonian? 😉

@CasanovaExplains 4 дня назад

I think that will depend on how much training data it received. I think it performs best on the most used languages, but for more niche ones it's important to supplement the learning with external resources (as is always the case anyway). But, at the very least, it will still be able to make a learning plan and provide word clouds if you supply it with input etc. By creating your own GPT with a rich knowledge base of Estonian learning material it can be a very useful companion!

Ok, I tried it. Prompt 3 yielded a list with no translations and no story. So, no idea what I am supposed to do with that. If I didn't know the words, it would be too little information to learn them and if I did know them, then the list was too limited to be of value. For example, it had table but not chair, water but not water glass or pitcher. Prompt 4 did fix the above issue but the sentences were overly simple, e.g., The cat chased the Dog. or The cat has eaten. This is ok for a graded reader but it does nothing to prepare one for the real language with subordinate clauses, prepositional phrases, participial phrases, compound sentences, etc. While the structure was not incorrect, it did not reflect the actual grammar used in the target language. Prompt 5. Hello, can you show me your passport? me: of course I made a point of answering with single word answers, which was easy, given the questions. Basically, it was phrasebook level. At the hotel, I was assigned a room (no reservation), but price was never mentioned. It did use a subjunctive, but the above example should be in the imperative as 'can you ...?' is open to abuse 'Yes, I can, but I won't.' Last, I tried prompt 11. The sentences were longer and more complex (subordinate clauses and compound sentences) but still with no participles or adjectives. The mistakes were all endings, not choice of words. The text was a description of my arrival (somehow) in a city where I hailed a cab, which is out of date in the target country. (The wrong word would have been the wrong word for hail, not a totally different concept (book or ordered.) So, I would say, based on the results, that it is ok if you are trying to develop a tourist level knowledge of the language, but it is not going to do much of anything if you are serious about a language.

Thank you for sharing your experience! sorry to hear you had a suboptimal experience! Have you been using GPT4o? Also: please note that prompt 3 generates a word cloud of the most COMMON words (i.e. most suited for beginners), it is not meant to generate translations but just a visualisation to use in addition to a table you have where you mapped those words to translations and examples :) You can always tell ChatGPT the language level you are at and at what level it should generate the material! the examples given were assuming the person was a beginner :)

@@CasanovaExplains The first two or perhaps three questions were 4.0, the rest 3. I see no reason to buy it as I have found no use for it beyond what is free. Where it was successful was in giving the translation and principal parts for word lists. Ok, in German chair is no. 1661, Table 529 (not a chart), glass (for water) 885, wine 1736. So, for German, chair should have been included, wine perhaps not. In Lithuanian, chair 2281, table 713, glass (stikline) 2365, wine 2338, wineglass 1011. But this is by the frequency dictionaries. Being able to ask for another chair or a glass of water seems pretty essential to me. I know, 50 words seems an insane amount since a textbook usually has only about 20 and overall lists some 800 words best case scenario. The reality is that you need thousands of words for basic fluency and normal restaurant conversation is perhaps some 500 words. That list included no verbs or adjectives, for example. To me learning a language is reaching something like B2, at the least B1. But we have a major disagreement over how to do that. I start with real texts with full grammar and vocabulary because so much is not included in textbooks and dictionaries. Thus, the only way to learn it is to start full throttle. And I start only foreign language to native because I need to learn the real patterns, not translate my patterns into another language. In addition, in English, I can write, 'He tabled the table on the table.' (yes, a stretch, but possible) But in other languages, those are three different words, not one. So if I am learning Lithuanian as an English speaker, it is less confusing to learn table three times in specific contexts where I feel the meaning than it is to learn it once with three words composed of random sounds and no context.

@@CasanovaExplains To avoid deletion for oversized replies. I realised that it was assuming I was at a low level, which is why I asked for a full contract in Lithuanian and English, but it gave me an unusable English and Lithuanian scaled-down version. But it very clearly highlighted the worst problem, i.e., the Lithuanian was fake, a translation of the English, and not real Lithuanian. In other words, your technique works for someone learning English as that is its base language. Other languages are reached through translation, not frequency mining. This is a huge problem in Lithuania, which is why the programme is not popular here. In other words, native Lithuanians corresponding in faultless Lithuanian with ChatGPT receive very poorly worded answers. You don't get higher level input than that. ChatGPT thinks in English and possibly only English. So, what is the point in learning incorrect Lithuanian? Not only will people have trouble understanding your accent, the words themselves may make no sense. Then they will insist on you speaking English. The English programmes here have their issues, but they start early and in some subjects, once one reaches a certain level, the literature may not have been translated yet. Thus, their vocabulary is going to be in the thousands, not in the hundreds of words.

No, actually. ChatGPT is a large language model, it does not work by translating, it works by being trained on large corpses of text from the internet and textbooks etc. Therefore, as you would expect, it excels at languages for which it had plenty of training material (obviously, English taking the lead), and not so much at niche languages of which it hadn't seen much. The model is as good as its training material. Poor training material e.g. text from the internet with lots of mistakes and poor grammar will yield a model with poor language proficiency. Also, GPT4 (and GPT4o) are the most up to date and advanced models, I would not recommend using 3.5 for learning languages as it is less capable than 4.

@@CasanovaExplains Ok. I once again asked 4.0 for an example of the signature article of a lease (prompt: Please give me an example of the closing article in a lease that discusses the signatures) and it gave me a decent example this time. Then, I asked for the same thing in Lithuanian, and I made the request twice, once with the question in English and again in Lithuanian. The answer is clearly by the wording a translation of the English, not an example of how Lithuanian phrases that article. Since this was clearly an example of a commercial lease, I added 'for a flat' in the Lithuanian question and all AI did was to add 'flat' into the previous text. (Why commercial? Because the lease spoke of representatives, not the actual parties.) So, your explanation works in English, not so much for other languages where it takes an efficiency shortcut that means the text is foreign languages can be terrible. As to a major language like German, I am not qualified to answer and so I will leave that for someone else. However, I did ask 4.0 in German just now for that exact text, and it gave me a German translation of the English. Each country has different laws and legal formulas and so legal texts differ between countries. ChatGPT is not reflecting those differences. So, I see no evidence that it is using a German database and certainly no evidence of a Lithuanian database.
