That's what ChatGPT does in less than 5 seconds.

[@CouchPolyglot]

That is really something else!!! :O In case you are interested, here is part number 2 of the video with Luca: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmbSpYiFm5J2nqs

[@RogerRamos1993]

@@CouchPolyglot I watched it already, being the simp that I am. On a serious note, I also have a hard time with ChatGPT. It can do so much, I feel like I'm in an amusement park and don't know what to play. "Teach me some lingala" "Teach me a2 swahili and kimbundu side by side" "10 sentences in Bengali". So, I am trying to stick to books. If I can spend 2 or 3 hours a day reading literature or studying books, nothing will be boring to me. But if you have something specific on your mind, ChatGPT is great. I got one paragraph in French and asked it to translate to Italian, then Spanish, German, and so on. So in a matter of 10 minutes I practiced about 8 languages. And if it's a language like German (that I'm a beginner) I ask for it to provide word for word translation right beside each word, which looks like this: Ich (I) liebe (love) Sprachen (languages) lernen (to learn).

[@Inkubak99]

What’s your first language, Laura?

[@CouchPolyglot]

Catalan and Spanish (I always spoke Catalan with my family, so I guess Catalan is a bit stronger)

M'he sentit molt identificat amb això del Harry Potter. Ara que aprenc alemany m'estic pensant de tornar a Harry Potter altre cop 😂

[@CouchPolyglot]

Tota excusa és bona per rellegir Harry Potter 😁

[@UnShredded]

And there it is again, the "dictatorship of fun", why should learning a language be fun? Is it even realistic to impose that expectation upon an endeavor that entails mechanic spaced repetition, confusion, memorization, social anxiety, drill after drill? But why? "Fun" can be assessed. I'm having a hard time imagining "fun" being a valid assessment criterium for language proficiency at the Defense Language Institute, or for trying to survive in a hostile environment like jail, enemy lines, homelessness, etc.

[@CouchPolyglot]

We actually mentioned that a system is even more important than motivation/passion/fun, cause a system keeps you consistent. I do think that if you have fun, it will be easier to stay consistent though. I remember I was quite bad at history in school, cause the method used was so boring, it was just about learning by heart. I studied and passed cause I had to, but I am sure if it had been taught differently, I would have enjoyed it AND would have had better grades. Later in life I started enjoying history when reading historical novels and felt motivated to find out more. The same happens to me with exercising, if I find a way to enjoy it, I will stay a lot more consistent than if I force myself to do it "cause I have to" or "cause it is good for my health". I would argue that most polyglots do have fun when learning cause... what is the point of spending so many hours on something you don't enjoy?
