00:58 🗣 Google's Bard AI enables users to have conversations in their target language, even without native speaker friends, allowing for private practice and error correction before real-life interactions. 01:37 📸 Bard stands out by allowing users to upload images for description, helping learners practice vocabulary related to colors, shapes, and more in their target language. 03:38 🌐 Bard has internet access, allowing users to ask real-time questions and receive responses based on current events or specific topics, enhancing practical language learning. 04:40 📚 Bard's unique feature allows users to share their conversations, enabling language teachers to provide personalized feedback and guidance for improved language skills. 07:37 🚫 Bard has limitations, including support for a limited number of languages, occasional inaccuracies, and difficulty in following specific instructions for structured responses. Additionally, it lacks a mobile app and voice feature on mobile.

[@tullochgorum6323]

Another use for Bard is parallel translations. You can feed in a text in your L2 and ask it to translate in table form, with the 1st column for L1 and the 2nd for L2. I ask for a new row per sentence. At present its concept of a sentence is sketchy, so I tell it to break on stops, commas and question marks. If it's a dialog which shows the names of the speakers as in a play, tell it the names and ask Bard to list them in a 3rd column on the LHS. Then you can click a button at the bottom of the table to upload directly to Google Sheets, or copy and paste to any spreadsheet or word processor. Very handy - saves a huge amount of faff.

[@DavidPhillipsAustin]

Thanks!

[@JerryRegistre]

That’s mighty kind of you 🙏🏽 Sending a resounding “thank you” and rooting for you in your language journey 🚀

[@timbaker6108]

The optimal interaction scenario would be an interactive verbal conversation with subtitles in the language with the AI correcting you grammer dynamically, including diction and providing suggestions. . If we get there, let me know, because that is comparable to speaking with a native and the level I need to completely self teach.

[@JerryRegistre]

I fully agree with you-Bard isn’t quite there yet, but ChatGPT can do what you described, and I showed this off in the ChatGPT Voice video. You might find some useful tips there: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXuZlmOAfdFmeZY

[@timbaker6108]

Perfect, will give it a try with some Portuguese conversations @@JerryRegistre

[@VictorCampoblanco]

Hi, Spanish speaker here. I've been watching a lot of videos about this topic, and yours are the best by far. Pretty good advice, and the editing is great. New subscriber.

[@JerryRegistre]

Always nice to meet other Spanish speakers and learners 🙌🏽 And I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Will keep improving to make these even better over time

[@Mariahmeuamor]

A good solution for the language change is to just create a new account specifically in your target language and use it for bard. That’s what I just did and I’m going to see how it suffices

[@JerryRegistre]

This is a great idea 🙌🏽 Since I have more than 1 Google account, I just keep 1 set to Spanish for when I want to practice

[@camriarnr]

Tu español suena muy bien 😃 Gracias por los tips!

[@captain_context9991]

So. I have now tried for 10 minutes to make Bard have a conversation where it answers me in 1 sentence, plus a question back. And it tells me "Yes I can do that" and then does NOT do any of those things. I cant make Bard understand it even tho Bard repeatedly tells me it can do that.

[@kristinabliss]

Newsflash... they LIE. Good luck! 🤠

[@Hyrdar]

An intersting thing is that bard can build a lesson over any topic. So, if you want to learn better a specific topic, like the use of some kind of verb, you can ask it to make a lesson about it.

[@JamminJosh7]

Great vid as always 👍 Could you maybe make a tool comparison vid, comparing Bard, Chat-GPT, and other similar tools for speech practice?

[@JerryRegistre]

Absolutely 🙌🏽 I’m working on the research right now to get the information together. Will get this out soon for the community. Thanks for the support 🙏🏽

[@gordonroke9533]

Hey, which AI do you actually think is best for language learning? I see you've made multiple different methods with the same title that they "KILLED" language learning and was just wondering which you'd recommend the most?

[@WisdomShrimp1]

Near the end of the video he says that he is a bigger fan of Bing AI because it's better at taking instructions

[@captain_context9991]

They are all language models. So either one will be fine. Thats literally what they do best. Languages. Chat GPT or Bard. You will not notice a difference. Only if you ask about stuff in the news or politics and such. Then Bard will go on the net and read the latest news, while Chat GPT will not.

[@muppet1011]

I use Bard and have just started a Spanish class, but had no idea Bard could do this. Thanks!

[@luminousfractal420]

Well, as a person living In a foreign country and having to learn a language...what would help a lot more is if Google took the 15second limit off the live translation app. You can't follow a conversation when you have to start again every 15seconds. It's all I need. It would be vastly more useful than what's offered here, and also Google don't get fed my documents which I really don't trust.

[@dono42]

I speak both English and Japanese. I tried Japanese chat with Google Bard. The sentences were mostly fine, but very formal. This is not how you would talk with friends. I tried to get it to speak more colloquially but it didn't last very long. This is quite limited in usefulness in my opinion.

[@JerryRegistre]

Nooo 🥲 You could try asking Bard to be more casual and see how it performs. Try copying my first prompt and changing it to “casual conversation” or “informal conversation between friends” and see if that helps. If not, I’d recommend checking out the ChatGPT Voice video instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXuZlmOAfdFmeZY

[@Giraffinator]

I'm always seeing that AI in general tends to have a problem with Japanese, either it talks to you like a robot (outrageous, right?) or the sentences end up being filled with errors.

[@foakjljrwajkltawtrawtwa441]

Well they said they told the AI to speak more casually@@JerryRegistre

[@Itachiflameamaterasu]

I tested with ChatGPT and it has worked for me so far, you have to be very specific, like when they write "masu" or "desu" conjugations, tell it to not use them and just write in casual form.

[@thewizardsofthezoo5376]

You might want to set up a system prompt to tell the AI what language registry it must use, if they allow that?

[@El-Ge]

There are hundreds of KZbin channels talk on the greatness Brad, but then, where and what website or application to use Bard? I use Chat GPT in my Edge browser (Opera as well) and latest Windows 11 Copilot. But Bard?

[@kenweidemoyer2221]

I drive a school bus The Students are from different countries learning another language will not work . is their a way to be able to talk to all the students? Good story and Thanks.

[@JerryRegistre]

This isn’t great as a translation tool for multiple languages, sadly. I would instead use something like Google Translate’s conversation translator and try speaking to 1 student at a time

[@photelegy]

Can you show how to train Bard to find out your level and known words so it can adjust itself?

[@JerryRegistre]

You’ll have to do this with every conversation, and it’s a bit tricky, but a few options you have are: - If you’re working in English, use the adjustment tool and ask it to be simpler or more formal. This isn’t perfect since it’s not attached to a level, but it can help make answers tougher or easier. - You can use descriptive phrases to ask it to change its level. Things like “respond at a 1st grade level”, “respond at a university professor level”. But Bard isn’t the best at following instructions. For you, I’d actually recommend checking out the ChatGPT Voice video. I’ve had more success asking ChatGPT to tailor to a specific level like “beginner”, “intermediate” or “A2”, “C1”

[@mksarav75]

in what version of bard it is speaking? When I try I do not hear any voice from bard?

[@nikkvins6997]

Hi. Thanks for the video. However, all the tools described have a small problem. It is the quality of the pronunciation. There are tools like Microsoft Azure. I use it to translate text to speech. And it pronounces the text almost like a human. If these tools can be combined, it will be great.

[@AdrianAJojko]

I found Bard quite limited, to be honest. I tried to have mixed conversations with him (in two languages at the same time), but it didn't fly. During the chat Bard would keep providing me with English translations in brackets, even when I directly asked him to stop. He apologised, promised to be a good boy, and then did the same thing once again. I gave up afer 45 minutes, he kept apologising but couldn't follow my instructions.

[@kristinabliss]

[@angeloescourt9958]

Hi guys ..Is there AI available that can translate Portuguese or Spanish in real-time for KZbin videos.

[@jeremybatterson211]

Interesting! I look forward to connecting this to augmented reality headsets, so I can speak something in English, then have the system play back a translation in my ear, which I then speak. It will be possible to have a real time conversation with a real person, although with a delay time factor. These back and forth spoken statements are then recorded, so that I can return at the end of the day to review what I have learned. Learning a language will become five times easier.

[@the_niko9]

@@captain_context9991 I see, Im gonna go with chatgpt then. Thanks for the answer.

[@PierreDole]

Too bad, I started to learn the German sign language. But maybe some day an AI will support this as well. Fun fact about Bard: Few weeks ago I "explored" Bard, I asked him who is the oldest human whose name is known. Bard said it's Ötzi and that he lived about 3200 bc (Bard said an actual year). But Ötzi is not this guys real name, it was given to him today by us. So I told him that and asked him again the same question. Bard answered a name I don't remember anymore and a date around 2000 bc. So I asked him if there is't a known name of a pharaoh. Then Bard finally told me about a pharaoh who lived over 4000 years bc. I don't know if he is the oldest human whose name is known but Bard doesn't know it as well, I guess. :)

Hi. I probably missed it, but how do I enable bard to automatically type what I’m saying and read out the responses? I’m using an iPhone

[@PeterFelis]

i checked Bard, but i prefer Chat-gpt. Chat is of a different level, almost a human. It understands my prompt en understands things in general better. So Bard isn't a compatitor for Chat (yet). It's as if you compare Tesla (chat) with any other EV. There is a big, very big gap. But thanks for the video, I am returning to Chat (for now). cheers

Interesting that Bard blows Translate out of the water but I am curious if Bard is better than ChatGPT-4 since I’m subscribed to the latter to talk to some relatives in the Philippines and told me that it’s near perfect.

[@logans3365]

AI is so powerful, it’s almost like if we were able to add up all of human knowledge into one person, the applications are endless. I do worry that it could incentivizes not critically thinking, or learning how things work, because you can just use your personal AI, similar to how I feel the internet has affected me but worse. Also it should be called an intelligence emulator, not artificial intelligence, as it is incapable of creating something completely original, it can only copy and morph things that it has gotten form other humans, the name AI is a bit misleading and probably just used to create hype and get investors.

[@swdev245]

They should train an AI that can also correct your pronunciation instead of just reacting to text that was transcribed by a separate speech-to-text AI.

[@JerryRegistre]

That would be awesome! Pronunciation is a whole different beast for AI, so I’m excited to see what comes out in the vein and will share the best things I find

[@estebanod]

This would be the death of accents... extreme conformity isn’t desirable It would need to be able to differentiate bad pronounciation, slang, and accents, not an easy job but maybe one day

[@ewwitsantonio]

Haha yeah. I figure they are leaning into how they bring value differently from the rest of the language learning market... and that would be their characters, animation, and marketing... for now. I'm expecting more animated shorts, entertainment designed to introduce language in silly way, and moving into other education fields. I know they are moving into music, already in math, and if I had to bet money, I'd guess they'd be smart to move into teaching basic coding too. Their ChatGPT Duolingo Max stuff... who knows how that's doing. They mostly just announced that likely to time it along with the AI hype and their earnings report, which clearly worked because DUOL skyrocketed immediately after announcing their likely half-baked AI feature...
