A university student with ADHD says ChatGPT has helped hugely by breaking assignments into steps, so they can work out what the task is asking and what to do at each stage.
Here's my assignment brief: [PASTE BRIEF]. It's due on [DATE]. Explain in plain English what it's really asking me to do. Then break it into small steps (no step longer than [MINUTES] minutes), in order, with a suggested day for each. Don't write any of the assignment for me.
A WIRED writer practised Japanese with ChatGPT's voice mode for a month before Tokyo, role-playing ordering food and small talk. By week three key phrases began to stick, and asking for more detailed feedback stopped it praising his mistakes.
Be a strict but friendly [LANGUAGE] tutor. I'm a beginner travelling to [CITY] in [WEEKS] weeks. Today, role-play [SCENARIO, E.G. ORDERING AT A RESTAURANT]. Correct my pronunciation honestly and don't tell me I did well unless I really did. End with the five phrases I should practise.
One learner's favourite use of ChatGPT's voice mode is learning German through a favourite song's lyrics, asking it to explain each word and correct his pronunciation.
I want to learn [LANGUAGE] by understanding the lyrics of '[SONG]' by [ARTIST]. Go through it a line at a time: explain what each word means, point out any grammar worth knowing, and then listen to me say the line and correct my pronunciation.
One learner uses ChatGPT's voice mode to practise Japanese: he picks a topic, has a conversation, and asks for more sophisticated vocabulary and idioms. He finds it works well at an advanced level.
Let's have a conversation in [LANGUAGE] about [TOPIC]. I'm at about [LEVEL] level. Speak at a natural pace. After every few exchanges, suggest more natural or sophisticated words and idioms I could have used, and correct one mistake.
