I'm going to do it right now ahahah. That is indeed simple but lowkey genius tip

[@Armistice023]

I made one for Spanish a year and a half into studying it I was going to make one for Korean, but couldn’t think of a nice enough channel name, so I just used this main channel account It sounds all good, but you have to be careful because good ol’ YT WILL recommend you non-target language stuff and if your will power is low, well you’re going to destroy your feed. Happened to my Spanish account after a month. I can only click “do not recommend” so many times… Best bet is to just sub to channels and stay in your subs feed. And have strong will power if you venture into the main feed

[@AW-tz6fb]

Please create a video specifically about AI and how you use it for language learning!🤩 I have never used ChatGPT so a more thorough explanation, specific prompts you use etc and tips on how it works would be so appreciated!

[@tiramisunsun]

I personally use ChatGPT to create stories in my target languages. If I'm a beginner or I want to learn about a specific topic/vocabulary, I can say something like "give me a story in korean with basic vocabulary related to cooking and food. Make it funny and short." and boom, you get to practice your korean for free. Of course, there are many other possibilities and you can play around.

[@AW-tz6fb]

[@kimincoree]

Great tips as always Lindie!! Also on top of online tutors it's possible to take full online classes while staying home. I have taken 1,000 hours of Korean classes 🇰🇷 from total beginner to advanced of which the majority were online and therefore accessible to people who do not live in Korea or big cities where in person classes are available. It can be cheaper and more social than one-on-one and I have made close friends from the courses. We are so lucky these days to have tech helping us! ^^

What. a. game-changer! I absolutely LOVE that you can use Gemini for free to export the chart into sheets! Do you have a platform where you share your prompting method? :)

[@Coadytnp]

I have fibromyalgia and Chronic fatigue. I had been having a pretty good few months, and sometimes I convince myself that I don't have it as bad, or I've conquered it... and then a bad flare up happens. I've been laid up for a week, because I walked slightly too much. So, I've been binge watching shows in Chinese. It's helped me feel like I'm not too far behind. I've been using Gemini a lot to make comprehensible input and read stories that are relatively easy for me with a couple new words. Focus is on fun while I'm in too much pain to do the harder stuff. Luckily, my flare ups have been relatively gentle most of the last year since I've started studying Chinese. The great thing about languages is you can lay down to study them on your own. I'm not usually a fan of podcasts, btu because this flare up has been so brutal, I started listening to them. This video was great timing for me to see someone going through something similar. Thank you!

[@LindieBotes]

Oh man I’m sorry, it’s really tough. Some days are better than others. I hope you get more good days 💕 glad to see you’re enjoying using Gemini!

Unless it’s English, Spanish, or French, I would not trust chatGPT I decided to toy around with it with Chinese and it produced a lot of incorrect grammar and the sentences were unnatural. Especially if the language isn’t often used online, like Hawaiian, I just really wouldn’t recommend it.

[@phgillon2614]

Bravo Lindie! I love English or American for its funkyness and breaking the ice conversation when possible but it is very limited to express deep feelings and emotions plus is not always a diplomatic card according where you are in the world. Ma langue maternelle est le français, mais je parle également couramment l'anglais et l'américain (j'ai vécu plus de 12 ans aux États-Unis et 22 ans au Royaume-Uni, et toute ma famille est anglaise) et de l'espagnol Mexican vers B1... L'anglais est une bonne langue à connaître, mais pas assez pour ouvrir immédiatement les portes commerciales/éducatives/culturelles/artisanales aux pays qui ne parlent pas l'anglais comme première ou deuxième langue officielle. Outre le Brexit en Grande-Bretagne et la présence de nombreux Trumpistes radicaux en Amérique, les gens utilisent de plus en plus l'anglais par mérite et non comme un reflet aveugle des années 90. De plus, l'anglais est assez limitée dans l'expression de certaines émotions ou sentiments, également pour le débat en soi, l'anglais ne va pas loin, le français dur par contre, le fait. Bien sûr, ayant vécu aux États-Unis pendant plus d'une décennie, j'aime Sesame Street, PBS, les diners, les techniques positives américaines, les formes américaines de défense juridique, etc... et plus de deux décennies en Angleterre, Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, la charité pour les animaux. à la manière britannique, la loi commune anglaise... mais une chose n'est pas l'autre. BUT HERE ARE THE NEWS this month of May 2024: I decided to CONTINUE ITALIAN (your video here is part of it but I have seen three others underlining how fascinating it can be). I ADORE because of its melodic singing tones, hand gestures, opera, and antiquity! And the food! Certo, essere francese mi aiuterà ad imparare l'italiano, ma solo per alcune basi, dato che la pronuncia come e la coniugazione quanto sono molto diverse! Se a questo si aggiungono le espressioni idiomatiche e le frasi colloquiali italiane, per parlarlo correttamente ci vorrà tempo e voglia. Quindi, sono in francese, americano, inglese, quasi intermedio in spagnolo latino-americano, ma parlo correntemente italiano e un po' di latino e per rinfrescare un po' di alsaziano. E in tutto questo mi atterrò ad esso. Quindi, l'Italina t è a pieno regime per ora! Thank you so much for having been a HUGE inspiration for me to reconnect correctly to language power! And THIS time, I am going to enjoy Italian also, as much, for its phonetic pleasure and new thinking! Also...still... it is the 4th most studied language in the world and even Italians are shocked about this. Et pour me détendre aussi, je vais faire pour m'amuser un peu de cours de langue Choctaw (Chahta anumpa) pour ses sons relaxants et uniques. Et j'en reste là. Merci de m'avoir énormément inspiré pour réapprendre le pouvoir et l'utilité des langues!

I love this! I have different levels of fluency in diff languages & challenge myself to hear from God’s people in/from nations I want to serve For example, I’m more fluent in Spanish so I read the verse of the day, pray, worship, Bible study & text Christian friends in Mexico in Spanish But for languages I’m a beginner in, I’ll listen to worship music passive/actively, find mission vlogs to learn the culture, & memorize the Lord’s Prayer or a popular verse in that language. if I have access to native speakers, I try to attend a service or ask them to pray for me in that language 💖✨ God bless you!

Hey Lindie, just wanted to leave you a resource here in case you have not heard of it since I know you read the Bible in Japanese (and in case other people are interested): A few years ago, a company made a Japanese Drama Bible app called 聴くドラマ聖書「きくドラマせいしょ」. It's the 新改訳「しんかいやく」聖書「せいしょ」2017 version of the Bible with voice over from a lot of famous Japanese voice actors. The text has furigana and everything and it's much easier to read than a compact Japanese Bible. It's available on apple and android devices for free. The VA for Paul makes me laugh every time he says 兄弟たち xD

Video summary: If you don't want to leave your house for learning a new language - use internet.

[@MandyCaputo]

Question : What does she mean by "Creating a all new KZbin profile". Is that possible to have multiple profiles with the same Google account? Or is she just suggesting to create a new account, with a new address, that is, paying for another YT Premium subscription if you want to avoid spending 15 minutes every hour skipping adds?

[@MandyCaputo]

I was today years old when I discovered that you can create multiple channels on the same account, each one of them with their own settings, name, language, subscribed channels, search history, etc. Thanks for the tip Lindie. Having a YT account with mixed subscriptions in 5 different languages, this is defo a game changer for me

I wouldn't trust ChatGPT with languages; I've seen the garbage it comes up with when asked to translate simple sentences into Lojban. I would trust it only to identify a cat fart. :)

[@benedekl1171]

I share your opinion. Once I tried to generate some grammar tables with ChatGPT and it was full of mistakes. These tools are getting better and better for sure, I'm just still not sure if it's already good enough to generate trustable grammatic content. Like in this video, most of the example sentences in Hungarian are correct but at least one of them is garbage.
