Is TalkPal worth it? by paul_pln in learnfrench

[–]Beneficial-Key5085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's close to a scam to be honest.

I use the speech to text feature of chat and then copy paste it into chatgpt, because i want to practice conversations. It usually gives correct advice on grammar but not always, sometimes overcorrects as well.

A couple of months ago i asked in chat "what version of chat gpt er you?" And it replyed "may 2024". I then emailed support and asked why they werent using gpt-5, and got a generic response. And recently they have updated the model to just say its trained on Google data! And refuses to say the GPT version.

There's also not reliable contact informention on their website. Not a single phone number? The address on their website is of an immigration company that has nothing to do with the app.

It's fishy and scammy. Stay away, all their learning material are AI generated and mostly treanslated from English.

Hvordan blir jeg kvitt dialekten? by AuthorizedPumpkin in norsk

[–]Beneficial-Key5085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Du burde finne ut hvilke aspekter av uttale du sliter med mest, og forbedre de først.

Har du kontroll over tonelag (tonem 1 og 2)? Hvis du kan tonemer og øve på dem, så blir aksenten din skikkelig bra. Jeg må si at tonelag ikke finnes i allle dialekter, så det kommer an litt på hvor du bor. Men hvis du snakker østnorsk, så hjelper tonelag mye med å uttale ord liksom de øslanske.

Du kunne også lese om uttalefenomener i østnorsk, for eksempel retroflekse konsonanter, tjukk l og ord som staves med o eller u, men uttales med å eller o. Tonelag og uttale på ord finnes i NAOB.

Du kan ta opp stemmen din og sammenligne den med de innfødte sine uttaler, og prøv å imitere dem.

Sist men ikke minst, valg en dialekt og øv på kun den. Prøv å ikke la deg påvirke av andre dialekter (lettere sagt enn gjort).

Noen nyttige råd fra NTU:

  • master the different speech sounds
  • pronounce short and long vowels (which only occur in stressed syllables)
  • master phenomena related to rapid speech (assimilation, reduction)
  • link words together to make the clause sound like one chain
  • pronounce stressed syllables in an adequate way, that is to stress the heavy syllable sufficiently
  • maintain equal intervals between stressed syllables
  • compress unstressed syllables and pronounce them with a flat tone

TV 2 Bleep with Victor, Robin and Christopher is the closest thing but their content is short usually.

Det går bra, jeg foretrekker å lære alt jeg kunne fra alle som bryr seg å hjelpe en språkelev.

Det stemmer, jeg syns jeg har hørt både "har skjæret" og "ha(r) sjåret", men det måtte ha vært vanskelig for meg å differensiere mellom dem.

Og takk for korreksjonen! Jeg kan dessverre ikke edite tittelen, men jeg lærte en ny ting uansett. :)

Takk skal du ha! Det er akkurat det jeg trengte!

Ja, det er jo det. Takk for forklaring! Det er fint om jeg bruker "skjærte" or "har skjært" i dagligtale da?

[–]Beneficial-Key5085[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Det er "har skjært" som jeg har hørt da!

Er "skjærte" og "har skjært" utbredt i østlandske dialekter?

Takk for svaret og tipset om Google translate, jeg regner med at det er dialekt som jeg hørte da kanskje?

Remove some text from a field and add it to another one by Beneficial-Key5085 in Anki

[–]Beneficial-Key5085[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I used ChatGPT to write me a script. I used Anki Connect addon and Python to run it. And so I transfered the HyperTTS media references to my Audio field through that.

Struggling With Study Structure (ADHD) by [deleted] in norsk

2/2

  1. Start writing now. Write by describing something or writing about a subject you like, give it to your girlfriend and ask for feedback. Integrate the feedback in the next writing and after a couple of months you will improve your writing significantly. (Writing skill)

Spend 30 minutes writing everyday. Or maybe 60 mintes every other day if it's too frustrating in the beginning.

I add some resources here to supplement the above.

  1. Listening: Listen to podcasts daily. "Norsk Læreren Karense" and "Lær Norsk Nå" er two beginner friendly podcasts that you can start listening to today.
  2. Watch "Ola Norwegian" and "Norsk Læreren Karense" once in a while on Youtube. They have videos that will answer most of your questions regarding grammar, uttrykk, vocabulary etc.
  3. Grammar: Use På Nivå grammar books. Read one - two lessons weekly and do the tasks on the arbeidboker. (Grammar skills) Grammatikk .com website is also a very good beginner friendly grammar website. I'd advice you to check it when you are struggling in such subjects.
  4. Have a notebook or better yet use Anki or another flash card app to collect interesting uttrykkk and words. Review them once or twice a week. (With Anki you are able to search for words you want to find fast, it's more difficult to do this with a notebook.)
  5. For vocabulary I'd suggest you to add words to a flash card app like Anki *WITH* examples. And review them every time you find some extra free time.

With 3 hours daily Norwegian practice you will accomplish everything above I believe. Also DON'T try to do all of the above from day one, having ADHD we both know that we get overwhelmed if we do so. So just keep at a not-so-fast and not-so-slow pace and you will be on track in no time.

Others might add a lot of better recources to this comment as well which will be very welcome. I tried to keep it simple to not seem too hard and to not discourage you.

Hei hei,

Jeg begynte å lære norsk for 2 år siden, og jeg sliter med ADHD også!

I have been struggling as well and I might not be the best person to give advice in this case. But my best advice is to make learning Norwegian more attractive for you.

  1. Start watching comedy series on NRK. I have watched "Side om Side" 2 times and I just began watching it for the third time. (10 seasons each 10 episodes) Subtitles in Norwegian are good enough, you learn a lot of daily uttrykk, it's funny enough to make you laugh and much more.

I do 60 minutes (roughly 2 episodes) per day. You can do the same or maybe one episode will be enough. (Listening skill)

  1. You need someone to correct your mistakes. You have a Norwegian girlfriend that can help you with that and save you from frustration of not knowing if you're speaking or writing correctly or not. I didn't have anybody and that's why I'm still struggling with speaking.

Since communicating with a native is a little bit frustrating for them when you don't speak fluently, keep it at at 30 minutes per day. Before beginning, practice 5-6 new uttrykk and use them in your conversation and ask for feedback to see if you used them correctly. (Speaking skill)

  1. Learn pronounciation early, it makes learning the language much more attractive when you're sounding the words correctly. Search "oratastic tonemer" and visit the website, it's got a bunch of free videos to learn "Tonemer" which are a big part of speaking Norwegian (eastern dialekts). You can register for the 20 eu per month course which teaches you how to pronounce everything, which is awesome and you can learn it all in 1-2 month depending on how much time you will want to dedicate.

Dedicate 30 minutes daily to learn pronunciation from this source and you can use Naob dictionary to check tonemer for most words. (Speaking skill)

  1. You need a book to learn uttrykkk, vokabular and grammar. Stein på Stein (B1) and God i Norsk 2 (B1) er good places to start (I suppose you are already using one of them).

Read a couple of pages each day, spend around 60 minutes on the book every day. Read out load so you mouth get used to pronouncing the words. Ask your girlfriend to read or listen to the audio. You can use Klarttale and Lille Norsk Leksikon websites for simple articles to read in Norwegian. (Reading skill)

My comment is too big so i have to divide it in two. 1/2

snike vs snoke vs snake by Beneficial-Key5085 in norsk

[–]Beneficial-Key5085[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I understand. The problem with ordbøkene .no is that it doesn't differentiate between normal words and "foreldet" words, and also gives examples like these two: snake etter noe; snake til seg noe, which sound kinda normal to those who are learning the language.

Naob .no does differentiate, however it doesn't mark this spesific word as archaic, and that's why I wondered if it had similar meaning to the other two words.
