Today I made this video about learning languages. I am learning Basque (Euskera) and I give some examples of how to use @google Studio Ai for this.

English: What do you feel when you notice the tranquility of Port Hacking River? What do you think of the wind at Ellura Beach when you breathe it in? It's very salty and beautiful place to be. I love being there. It makes me remember my childhood. Let's talk about that. Ask me more questions. I think you've given me a lot to think about, both in philosophical language mode, but also how I could continue to learn Basque with you. I'm making videos online. I'm trying to also be aware of the implications of this tech.

Español (Spanish): ¿Qué sientes al notar la tranquilidad del río Port Hacking? ¿Qué piensas del viento en la playa de Ellura cuando lo respiras? Es un lugar muy salado y hermoso para estar. Me encanta estar allí. Me hace recordar mi infancia. Hablemos de eso. Hazme más preguntas. Creo que me has dado mucho en qué pensar, tanto en modo de lenguaje filosófico, como también en cómo podría seguir aprendiendo euskera contigo. Estoy haciendo videos online. También estoy tratando de ser consciente de las implicaciones de esta tecnología.

Euskara (Basque): Zer sentitzen duzu Port Hacking ibaiaren lasaitasuna nabaritzen duzunean? Zer iruditzen zaizu Ellura hondartzako haizea arnasten duzunean? Oso leku gazia eta ederra da. Asko gustatzen zait han egotea. Nire haurtzaroa gogorarazten dit. Hitz egin dezagun horretaz. Egin galdera gehiago. Uste dut asko eman didazula pentsatzeko, bai hizkuntza filosofikoaren moduan, bai zurekin euskara ikasten jarrai nezakeen moduan. Bideoak egiten ari naiz sarean. Teknologia honek dituen ondorioez jabetzen ere saiatzen ari naiz.

Français (French): Que ressentez-vous lorsque vous remarquez la tranquillité de la rivière Port Hacking ? Que pensez-vous du vent à Ellura Beach lorsque vous le respirez ? C'est un endroit très salé et magnifique. J'adore être là. Cela me rappelle mon enfance. Parlons-en. Posez-moi plus de questions. Je pense que vous m'avez donné beaucoup de matière à réflexion, à la fois en mode langage philosophique, mais aussi sur la façon dont je pourrais continuer à apprendre le basque avec vous. Je fais des vidéos en ligne. J'essaie aussi d'être conscient des implications de cette technologie.

Reo Tahiti (Tahitian): E aha tō ’oe mana’o ’ia ’ite ana’e ’oe i te hau o te Anavai ’o Port Hacking? E aha tō ’oe mana’o nō te mata’i i te ’one o Ellura ’ia huti ana’e ’oe i te aho? E vāhi miti roa ’e te nehenehe mau. Meita’i roa ia’u ia pārahi i reira. E fa’aha’amana’o mai te reira i tō’u tamari’ira’a. E paraparau tāua nō ni’a i te reira. A ui mai ā i te tahi atu mau uira’a. Mana’o vau ē ’ua hōro’a mai ’oe i te mau mea e rave rahi nō te feruri, i roto i te huru reo philosopho, ’e nō te huru e nehenehe ai au e tamau noa i te ha’api’i i te reo Euskara (Basque) i pīha’i iho ia ’oe. Tē hamani nei au i te mau video i ni’a i te itenati. Tē tūtava ato’a nei au ’ia ’ite pāpū i te mau fa’ahope’ara’a o teie ’tehnolōtia.

Stuff You Should Know
Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
