Dear everyone,
I am writing to express my profound gratitude for the invaluable assistance and guidance provided by ChatGPT in my journey of language learning, particularly in mastering the Spanish and Italian languages. Our collaboration has been instrumental in reshaping my approach to language acquisition and has yielded remarkable results that I am excited to share with you.
I embarked on my journey to learn Spanish in September 2023 and have since made significant progress, thanks to ChatGPT’s support. As a self-taught learner, I initially struggled to find effective methods to immerse myself in the language and overcome the challenges of grammar, vocabulary, and conversational fluency. Traditional learning methods proved to be inadequate for my learning style, and I found myself searching for alternative approaches that would better suit my needs and preferences.
It was during this search that I discovered the transformative potential of combining my passion for video games, specifically “Harry Potter: Magic Awakened” with the innovative capabilities of ChatGPT. By leveraging the interactive nature of the game and ChatGPT’s conversational AI, I devised a unique learning strategy that seamlessly integrated language learning into my everyday gaming experience. One of the key components of this strategy involved switching the language settings of the game to Spanish, as per advice given by ChatGPT and following the subtitles of the dialogues while actively engaging with ChatGPT to identify grammar constructions, understand language rules, and receive real-time feedback on my comprehension and expression.
ChatGPT’s feedback is particularly valuable, as it is based on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), allowing me to track my progress and identify areas for improvement.
Furthermore, at the ChatGPT’s recommendation, I joined various language exchange platforms to supplement my learning experience and engage in meaningful conversations with native Spanish speakers, despite limited opportunities for face-to-face interaction in my local community. In addition to Spanish, I also began studying Italian at the beginning of January 2024, further expanding my language repertoire with ChatGPT’s guidance and support.
Based on ChatGPT’s current assessment, my proficiency level in Spanish has reached upper-intermediate (intermedio alto) according to the CEFR scale in the period of 6 to 7 months. In Italian, my proficiency level is currently assessed as intermediate. This progress is a testament to the effectiveness of our collaborative learning approach and the innovative capabilities of ChatGPT.
With ChatGPT’s continued support and expertise, I am confident that we can unlock even greater potential and inspire others to embrace innovative approaches to language acquisition.
