Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to this episode of the Fluency Podcast. If
you are new here, my name is Jack from to Fluency,
and this is a place where you can listen to
natural English in a relaxing way and learn all about
the English language, how best to learn grammar, etc. Today's

(00:20):
episode is really exciting for me because if you follow
what I'm going to discuss in this lesson, you're going
to find the way you learn English changes dramatically for
the best. So you're going to find new ways to
learn English, to understand English, and to improve your English

(00:42):
in a way that is fun, interactive, and highly effective.
Today's topic is all about how to learn English with AI.
To start with, it's important to go through some of
these key terms quickly. So AI means art of intelligence AI,

(01:03):
so you'll hear the word AI a lot. Now. There
are different AI tools like chat GPT. Now this was
always difficult for me to say at first chat GPT,
but I am used to it now and I'm sure
you've heard this in your own language and also in

(01:24):
English before chat GPT. There are other tools like claud
from Anthropic or Google Gemini. So what I talk about
today can be applied to any AI chatbot, and I
believe these tools are a powerful way to learn English
if you use them correctly. And in today's episode, we're

(01:46):
going to look at four powerful ways you can use
chat GPT or other tools to boost your fluency. We're
going to give you two bonus tips to get more
out of these tools to use them effectively, and then
I'm going to have a little bit of fun at
the end with some predictions or thoughts about the future

(02:07):
of AI. Be sure to stay until the end of
this episode because you're going to get a lot out
of it, especially if you start applying what I talk about.
So let's just start with the first way you can
use chat GPT to learn English, and it's this asking
language questions. Now, this means you open up chat GPT

(02:31):
and you say something like, what's the difference between much
and many? Or when do I use much and many?
Why do we say I enjoy swimming instead of I
enjoyed to swim. What's the best way to say this
word in British English? For example? Now, this has two

(02:54):
main advantages over the old way of doing things. Firstly,
you can get instant explanations without needing to search through
textbooks or websites, So instead of using Google and go
into a forum, go into a website, et cetera. You
can get an instant answer right to you. And the

(03:15):
second thing about it is that chat GPT, from my
experience learning languages and in general, is accurate, so it's
going to give you the accurate response. Additionally, you can
ask follow up questions, so if something isn't clear, you
can ask more questions to really understand what it's saying.

(03:38):
Could you explain this again in simple terms? And one
thing I've always said is that in order to internalize
the language and be confident with it, you need to
be clear on how to use it and when to
use it. So how to use a present perfect you
need to be clear in your mind about oh okay

(04:00):
to stand that, and then that means you'll be able
to use it in conversations. Now, the second way to
use it is to generate examples, So you can ask
chat GPT to provide multiple examples for words, phrases, or
grammar structures you're learning. An example prompt, now, this is

(04:22):
another word to know a prompt. A prompt is what
you ask chat GPT, So an example prompt could be
can you give me ten examples of sentences using the
present perfect tense. You can even say things like, can
you give me ten simple example of using the present
perfect tense? Can you give me ten sentences using much

(04:47):
and many? And this is helpful. This is useful because
seeing different types of examples helps you understand how to
use a word or structure in different contexts. So it
gives you the confidence to know exactly how to use it.
You see the variations of the way it is used,

(05:08):
and that gives you the ability to truly understand how
it's used. Another example prompt is give me five sentences
using the phraser verb pick up, and it's going to
give you five sentences for you. Now. Later I'm going
to talk a little bit more about how you can
get the correct sentences for you in the bonus tip. Now,

(05:31):
the third way to use it is getting writing feedback. Now,
when I first started language teaching and started my channel,
a lot of people ask me, can you correct my writing?
They sent me emails and they asked me to correct
their writing. And there used to be tools where you
could upload your writing and a teacher would correct it

(05:53):
for you. But now we have this instant feedback instant
correction on your writing using CHATPT. So an example prompt here,
what you can ask chat GPT is this, can you
correct this paragraph and explain my mistakes? Or I'm going

(06:15):
to write five sentences in the present perfect could you
correct and explain my mistakes? So chat swoopt will identify
grammar errors, chatwopt will identify grammar errors, awkward phrasing or
strange not correct phrasing, and sentence structure issues. And then

(06:40):
it's going to give you explanations to help you understand
the corrections so you can learn for the future. And
this is incredibly useful. In fact, you can start thinking
about firstly, ask chat GPT to explain something you don't understand,
then for it to give you more example sentences, and

(07:02):
then for you to practice these writing sentences to get feedback.
Because in order to improve in a language, you have
to use it. You have to be able to produce it,
whether this is writing or whether this is speaking. And
we'll talk about speaking in a second, but I think
the first stage to practice in a language is writing.

(07:25):
Because you can take your time, you're not rushed, you
don't have to think about the way you say things. Instead,
it's all about getting it correct and taking your time
to do that. So the third way is to get
feedback on your writing. Now, the fourth way is to
practice conversations. To practice conversations, you can do this with

(07:51):
writing or you can do this in a two different
ways with your voice. Say you have a chat GPT
thread open, especially if you're on your phone it's easier,
but you can do this on your computer too. You
can use the voice mode and speak and it's going

(08:13):
to create the text for you. So you can ask
chatchept the following for the prompt. Again, we're using the
word prompt. Let's role play. You are a waiter and
I'm ordering food in a restaurant. So you're asking chatchipt
to play the role of a waiter or a server

(08:35):
and you're going to order food in a restaurant. You
can make this more specific. You can say, for example,
in a fish and chip shop, or at a pub
in London, or at a sushi restaurant. But this is
useful because it's going to give you the opportunity to
practice common scenarios without the pressure of a real conversation.

(08:58):
And just like the writing one, you can ask for
corrections if your responses are awkward, unclear, or incorrect, and
you can think about all the different role plays you
can use this with. For example, you've just met somebody
for the first time at a language exchange and they're

(09:19):
going to ask you questions about your life. Or you
can think about scenarios too where you're in a business
meeting and you're asking questions or they're asking you questions
about things. It could also be a job interview too.
The second way to do this is accessing the voice
mode and chat GPT app, where you can speak into

(09:42):
the microphone and then receive spoken responses from the AI
in the language you choose. Now at the moment, this
isn't as good as speaking to a regular person in
real life a teacher or somebody at a language exchange,
but it's getting better and better and I'll talk more

(10:03):
about that later. And this is also a great way
just to get that speaking practice and to find yourself
getting more practice for free at home and also in
a way where you're just feeling comfortable about doing it.
So those are the four ways we can use chat
GPT in order to practice and improve our English. So

(10:25):
we can do it for explanations for examples, writing feedback,
and real life conversations. Next, we're going to talk about
some bonus tips. Now. The first one is to personalize
chat GPT so it knows who you are. Personalize set

(10:46):
up chat GPT in a way so it knows who
you are, so you can give chat GPT context about
your learning goals, levels, interests, and who you are. This
is really useful because then chatchipt is going to respond
to you in a way that is personal to you.

(11:10):
It's going to make the lessons and the chats more
effective and relevant to you because when it comes to
speak in a language, you're going to be saying the
same things over and over again. You're going to talk
about yourself, You're going to talk about your interests. But
also you can tell chatchpt your level, so then it

(11:34):
can give you example sentences match to your level, So
be sure to tell it as much information as you're
comfortable with when you are starting chats with chatchipt. Now,
the second bonus tip is to take the notes from
chat gipt and practice them. So let's say it's example

(11:58):
sentences from chat YOUPT. What you can do is, after
using a thread for a while, you can say summarize
all the sentences that you've given me and put them
into a table. What it's going to do then is
create a table and Excel table or a numbers table,

(12:20):
and then you can take that table and the sentences
and practice them. You can also ask it to export
it as a text file if you prefer. But the
idea here is that you're not just seeing the sentences
and then that's it. Instead, you are taking those sentences
and using the methods that I've talked about on this

(12:42):
channel in order to improve your retention of the sentences
and also to get the practice you need in order
to improve your English in general. So the bonus tips
are personalized chat YOUPT and then also take the sentences
that you've learned and you a method in order to
improve your English. Now, let's talk about the future of

(13:05):
AI and learning, because I think this is fascinating and
AI in general I find fascinating just so interesting, and
if you've been following it like I have, you'll know
that it is advancing very quickly. It's becoming better and
better all the time, and their new tools. Now, I

(13:27):
think the future of AI and language learning is going
to be the following firstly, advanced conversation agents. So think
about an AI language teacher who is always there for you,
who knows who you are, who can constantly teach you English.

(13:49):
It's going to be paid, there's going to be free versions,
but the idea is that you're going to have a
language teacher in the future who is always going to
be there for you. Now, whether this is good or
bad for the industry, whether this is bad for teachers,
that's a different conversation. But that's where I think it
is going to go. And what's more is I can

(14:12):
see it where the integration of AI, or the combination
of AI with virtual reality or augmented reality. I think
that these two are going to come together. So as
a learner, you can imagine putting on some goggles and

(14:35):
you are in a realistic scenario having conversations with AI
characters and in a way where you can make this
specific to you and your learning goals. So you can
think about putting on your goggles and you see yourself
in or you see the scene of a train station

(14:59):
or a pub in Manchester. You're going to the pub
in Manchester and you can just go around and have
conversations with people in English, and you can have things
where you see language analysis giving you tip, someone is
helping you through this, you have a teacher helping you

(15:20):
through it. I think this is what's going to happen
in the future in terms of language learning. But with
these two things and chatch ept right now, it's important
to still immerse yourself in English, internalize words and phrases,
and learn in the most effective way. Now, I'm going

(15:40):
to leave links to videos that talk through this, and
what I've talked about in the past is still relevant
today in terms of AI. But I see AI at
the moment as a way to help you learn more effectively.
Question to you is how are you using AI today

(16:04):
in order to learn English? And if you haven't tried
these methods I've talked about, I highly recommend trying them out,
and I'll list them in the description so you can
really follow them in a way that you can apply
them and then watch more of my videos, especially on
how to internalize languages and how to learn languages in

(16:26):
order to use these even more effectively. So share this
video with a friend. Thank you so much for watching,
and how speech You're seen. Bye for now.
