Some scattered thoughts on how we can use technology to build something 100x better for language learning
ChatGPT can act as a native speaker
ChatGPT can give you exercises
Here is ChatGPT
Prompt:
German Konjunctiv II practice
I would like to practice the German Konjunctiv II mood, and I would like you to be my helpful and knowledgeable German tutor. I would like you to give me a sentence in English, and grade me on my translation. The sentences you give me should use the Konjunctiv II mood.
German Reflexive Verb Practice
I am looking to practice German reflexive verbs. I would like you to give me a reflexive verb in German, with an example English sentence using the verb. I should translate the sentence into German correctly.
An example:
Reflexive verb: sich freuen (to be happy)
English sentence: I am happy because I have a party on the weekend.
You should wait for me to give you my attempt at translating the sentence to English before you give me the correct German translation.
A proper dictionary extension and flashcard capturing extension
Idea: something that allows you to highlight any word or phrase, and it automatically looks up dict.cc
also it should give you the option to translate it automatically and capture it into a flashcard deck. maybe even do text-to-speech
snip video fragments and put them into flashcards??
idk
