Those are the reasons I started to learn Mandarin. AI can be helpful If you need something fast, but If you want to deep dive in and live a culture, you must learn its language

100% agree that we should still learn a language in the AI Era, Zoe. For my current job, I decided to learn Spanish instead of relying upon the third-party translators my work provides and I have to say it seems to make a world of difference with the clients we have each day. You should see their faces light up when I'm trying to communicate with them in their native tongue. Automatically, they appear more at ease and seem willing to tell me more things they don't tell my coworkers who use a translator. Of course, my Spanish accent isn't that good (yet), but it feels good to be able to communicate with people on a deeper level as you alluded to in your video. And, of course, the cognitive benefits are always appreciated, haha. Thanks again for your uploads, Zoe. Take care!

Before watching your videos, I never interested in chinese language but when I watch your video ' how to learn mandarin ' I really interested in chinese. Then I watched some chinese blog ( with english subtitle). After that I really know about most of the things in chinese culture. Then I watched your another video's about chinese. Then, I decided to learn chinese. Now, I am achieve A1 in chinese language. I watched all videos of your channel that provide language learning tips. Then, I saw that your method is really work for me. Thanks ❤ a lot of to give me a clear path of language learning journey. And keep me motivated by your videos. Take my love from Bangladesh ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for inspire me to learn another language ( without english). A 14 years old girl's love for you from Bangladesh. Take my Love ❤❤❤

I studied for social work and worked as a social worker assistant and get promoted to social worker and then social welfare officer. I am from Malaysia. The life work was not balanced and my luck my husband got a job in sweden and we moved here. Now my level is B1-B2...stuck...I am so depressed and struggling. I need help and maybe your journey can make me find new ways to break this stuck feeling. Thank You Zoe. I'm so proud of you and I want to be like you. ❤

@heikachan8052 Ай бұрын

Great thing about AI and translating apps is this that you can expand your interest and knowledge beyond of known languages. E.g. I read comics in a language that I'm learning, but sometimes I really want to know what comes next and search for spoilers in chapters that are yet not translated and use those translating apps. Or when somebody on the street ask me something in language I don't know and boom my phone allows us to communicate. AI is a great tool, but it's not almighty. I once asked AI to help me write one email because I was anxious and wanted to make a good impression on the receiver. Although it was in my native language, I only used like 5~10% of what it gave me, but also gave me some ideas for what to write. AI allows for quick fixes but knowing the language lets you to truly express yourself. Even this text was made with help of machines (so many red underlines)

Definitely. Rumi is my most favorite non-Chinese poet ( I am Chinese myself), yet I can only read his works through English translations (Thanks to the American poet Coleman Barks). Actually I am thinking of learning Persian on my own so that I can read the originals. I wonder if you happen to know if the Persian in which Rumi writes is the same Persian in use today. I remember one of your six languages being Persian. By the way, Zoe looks awesome in the last fitness video. The result is very very good. I also think there is no need to further build your muscles since your build now is in great harmony with your frame.

Hi Zoe. As I polyglot who speaks 4 languages and majoring in one of them (Mandarin Chinese ), this AI problem is haunting my mind. Especially since I was considering working in the field of translation. However chatgpt the regular version just does that very well. I am trying to get the most out of it. But I am not sure how can compete with it.

@brandonmanuel2842 Ай бұрын

Sometimes Google Translate gets the language wrong. When you type an English sentence to your target language, how do you know which words are what? We got Wolfram Alpha for math and science but nothing compares to seeing a math or science professor for help. We should not rely on AI because it will make us lazy. Putting in the time to learn a language can have mental health benefits like warding off schizophrenia and paranioa because you are busy doing something. It's like they say back in the day: "Idleness is the devil's playground."

Ai is perfect for document, post or video translations, but when it comes to human interactions learning languages is still worth it and will be, not everybody can speak english fluently and even if he speaks, you can conduct more profound conversations. In future you will probably can use some ai glasses that will translate all languages or use some kind of headphones that will allow us to communicate with all people, but this will never replace joy of learning language and genuine conversation that you can have without some silly glasses or headphones.

Zoe, I liked your video. I think AI is great way to help you communicate between languagues. However, I would agree with you; you can never fully understand the culture and the people without knowing the language. There are too many nuances that I don't think AI can ever fully convey. For example, look at jokes in another languages. They refer to culture ideas or worse the are a play on words that unless you understand the language you can't get them. Another thing is idioms or slangs. Unless you understand the culture and language you can't fully grasp the meaning behind them.

Il y a encore beaucoup de choses imparfaites et qui le resteront à mon avis. Si on a affaire à un texte simple ou univoque pas de problème, mais dès qu'on entre dans les relations entre les personnes (par exemple pour la traduction des films), l'IA ne suit plus parce qu'elle ne sait pas se mettre dans la tête des gens, ni suivre l'évolution des situations, ni trancher entre plusieurs options (ce qu'un traducteur doit souvent faire) et je ne parle que de circonstances simples, sans sous-entendus ni doubles-sens. Par contre quand on connait un peu la langue et sa grammaire, l'IA est un instrument d'une très grande utilité, mais il faut le corriger et le guider (pour chat GPT par ex), qui permet d'apprendre d'une manière sans commune mesure avec ce qui existait avant.

@TridgentFrench Ай бұрын

In everyday personal or business life, the direct use of artificial intelligence to interact with other people, such as pulling out your translator in the middle of a conversation, still lacks fluidity and naturalness 😁. It can seem impersonal and unprofessional. Although AI is a powerful tool for productivity and the automation of certain tasks, it has not yet reached a level where its use in direct human interaction is truly integrated or socially acceptable in the majority of personal and professional contexts.

AI can never susbstitute humans for a deep communication. We are humans, we need social contact and affect, and we use the communication to achieve that at work , for friendship, etc. A translator is one topic, learning a language and make a social use of it is different.
