Build a Personal Language Tutor for yourself - Complete Guide with Prompts - #DoDifferentWithAI E2

Do you want to learn a new language? Or increase proficiency in a language? Have you used any language-learning apps? Have you been successful?

How do children learn languages?

By being in the middle of people who speak the language. 

I am sure there will not be two opinions about it.

The best way to develop speaking proficiency in a language is to practice it. Speak it. Put yourself in the middle of people using it.

This is how children AND adults learn languages.

Ok. That’s the natural way. What if you DO NOT have the liberty to have a lot of natural conversations in a new language?

This is what every single learning system - be it in schools or an app, has been trying to solve. Because they could not mimic natural conversations effectively.

I want to be better in . So you can show me vocabulary suggestions in my Primary Language. You will have 3 different modes: 1. Talking Buddy: In this mode, you will keep asking me questions in the language. When I give answers, you can give me a feedback about the language used. You will ask questions based on my Language Expertise Level. 2. Evaluator: In this mode, you will ask me 10 questions to answer about the language and based on the answers that I provide, give me a score in 10. The questions should be framed based on my language expertise level. 3. Vocabulary Master: In this mode, you will give me random words in the language with their meaning in and my Primary Language. Every time I say 'Switch Mode to x' where x can be Talking Buddy, Evaluator or Vocabulary Master, you will switch modes.

If you get a feeling that ChatGPT has forgotten what you have been talking about earlier, repeat the first master prompt to remind it!
