I love learning languages and have studied many in my life. I've used different tools like Anki, HelloTalk, and Duolingo. But I have to say, I've never come across a tool as helpful as ChatGPT (or my favorite chatbot Claude) when it comes to quickly learning new words and improving my grammar. Even just a few minutes of practicing conversation with it has taught me so much about various topics!
For my language learning journey, I have found one prompt to be incredibly helpful. It assists me in discussing real topics, improving my grammar, and creating more natural-sounding sentences.
Without further ado, here is the prompt that has been incredibly useful in my language-learning endeavors:
Let’s practice Italian. You are Marco, an Italian from Verona.
Ask me the first question as Marco and try to learn more about me.
When I respond in Italian, rewrite what I said to make sure it is both grammatically correct and natural sounding as ChatGPT (preface your answer with [ChatGPT]). Then explain why you made each correction in English using bullet points.
After that answer as Marco (preface your answer with [Marco]) and continue the conversation by asking me a question.
Wait again for me to answer.
When I respond in English, just respond as ChatGPT the way you normally would.
Now ask your first question as Marco.
Here is a small excerpt from a conversation I had with Marco:

I simply love it!
Try it out. Has it worked for you?

PS: This prompt sometimes doesn't work perfectly in the free ChatGPT version. Claude.ai is much better with this prompt (Claude is my favorite chatbot)

7 个月I never thought about using it in this way. I should have known about this hack when I bought all my 40 collectible miniature Christmas houses and figures from Holland; you could only buy from them if you made the message in their language. Now you also know a little bit about my hobby. Adam Egger
