The Personal Touch: Easy Language Learning with ChatGPT

Today, Dietmar helps you learn languages - or at least shows you how ChatGPT can help you with it.

For that, we look at a hack that let's you start with what you already know: similar words! Because if you start with those, you start quicker. Details about the theory you'll find in the podcast ;)

Here is the prompt, Dietmar used to generate the first part of the word set:

Dear GPT, you are now an experienced Spanish teacher with a lot of experience in both didactics and linguistics.Create a list of 100 Spanish words based on the following criterion: they are similar in spelling and/or pronunciation to English vocabulary.Rate the vocabulary according to their importance for spoken language with a value from 1 (very important) to 5 (rather unimportant). Importance in this case is defined as: frequency of use and importance of the term for basic activities and interests that a tourist might have.Here are some examples of words:- el animal: animal- el hospital: hospital- el sistema: systemPlease exclude words that are generally easy to learn but do not have a similarity to English words.Please present the results in a table with the columns: "Spanish", "English" and "Importance".

And here is the first list after using the prompts 5 times, for nouns, verbs, adverbs etc. This list, you can upload to a learning program/App like Card2Brain.
