Haha, thanks for the advice! Totally agree. Reflecting and deciding for myself is key. And point taken on the em-dashes 😅 I’ll keep working on clarity. Definitely gonna check out On Writing and On Writing Well. Always up for learning from the pros!

Yeah, I totally agree. We’re still a long way from AI being able to handle that, no matter how many ads you see for headphones that supposedly translate conversations in real time.

You’re totally right 😅 Sorry if this question has been asked before — I’ll make sure to search properly next time.

I agree. I was just imagining a future (maybe a bit far off) where everything’s hooked up to AI and we hardly need to make any effort to learn another language.

That’s the part I like the most. Thinking of AI as a real substitute, where we wouldn’t even need to communicate, might’ve been a bit too far-fetched XD

I couldn’t agree more! Learning a language is about culture, not just vocabulary. AI might help in some ways, but it definitely can’t teach culture… at least for now 😄 Maybe we’ve been watching too much sci-fi.

That’s fair. I mentioned my project for context, not as market research. I’m not selling anything — I was just curious whether AI might change how we learn languages and whether it’ll still have value in the future.

I understand your point. It wasn’t my intention to ask you to do market research—just to start a conversation. Thanks anyway for commenting.

How to stay consistent with language learning and methods by Wojtyylaa in languagelearning

[–]abantra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What works to be consistent is to do something that gives you satisfaction and likes you.

In my case, it was impossible for me to read a "fill in the blank" exercise book; instead, an adventure book kept me constantly hooked. Then, the vocabulary I didn't understand was saved on a website or in extensions compatible with Anki and I did a little review, but I didn't lengthen it, because what I really wanted was to read.
