I’m rebooting my language learning. This time though I’m going back to Korean, Japanese and Thai. I will be doing my studies via a combination of books, free resources and AI.
The first thing I did was look at the resources I have and ordered what I was missing as well as loon at online free resources. The second thing I did was ask Chatgbt to formulate a plan for each of the languages I wanted to study using the resources that I found.
Korean
The first thing that I thought about was what I wanted to do for the study of Korean as I was already taking a class online with a great teacher. I decided that next year I want to take the TOPIK II test. The first thing that Chatgbt suggested was that I take a mock TOPIK I test to see if I was at level 2 or closer to level 3. So this weekend I took the test and got 146/200 which means I am closer to level 2 than I am to level 3. Next Chatgbt suggested some sites to help me study for TOPIK I and TOPIK II. I printed out the grammar and vocabulary for both. Finally, Chatgbt made a study plan for me which included a daily study plan that incorporated vocabulary, grammar, reading and listening.
Thai
Next for Thai I am using Teach Yourself Complete Thai and Chatgbt. I asked Chatgbt to use the book as a resource and make me a daily study plan that well help me study Thai.
Japanese
Finally, for Japanese I asked Chatgbt to design a study plan for me using a book that I just ordered online called Beginning Japanese. However, until my books arrive I asked Chatgbt to teach me Hiragana and Katakana and quiz me on them.
Chatgbt is amazing help so far. It has helped me put together my study calendar and tasks. It has given me a bird’s eye view of how long it might take me to get through to my goals.
This is what my study calendar looks like.
And this is what one day of studying might look like:
A typical Japanese lesson in Chatgbt looks like this:
I’ve also asked Chatgbt to quiz me on chapters from books. It made me good test papers with answers which showed me where I was doing good and where I needed to study more.
I hope this helps others in getting an idea on how to use Chatgbt in studying languages.
