DOULINGO COULDN'T TEACH ME FRENCH IN 2.5 YEARS ChatGPT did it in just 4 weeks. Here's the exact 9 Prompts I used:

1. Daily Lesson Builder “Act like a French tutor. Create a 20-min daily lesson with vocabulary, grammar, and practice exercises.”

2. Conversation Partner “Chat with me in French as if we’re friends at a café. Correct mistakes and explain in English when needed.”

3. Pronunciation Coach “Give me phonetic breakdowns of these French sentences, with tips to sound natural.”

4. Grammar Simplifier “Explain French grammar rules in simple, kid-friendly language with examples.”

5. Flashcard Creator “Generate 50 spaced-repetition flashcards for today’s new words with translations and usage examples.”

6. Cultural Immersion “Recommend French movies, music, and short stories. Then quiz me on what I understood.”

7. Mistake Tracker “Keep track of my recurring grammar/vocab mistakes and test me on them weekly.”

8. Accent Shadowing Tool “Give me 10 common French phrases with native audio links or phonetic mimics. Rate my accent after I repeat them.”

9. Level-Up Planner “Based on my current level, design a 30-day challenge to move from beginner to intermediate.”

@thetripathi58 @grok promptize it for me

@thetripathi58 Your thread is everybody's favorite! #TopUnroll https://threadreaderapp.com/th... 🙏🏼@Paintdrjr for 🥇unroll

@thetripathi58 Looks like ChatGPT was the real MVP.

@thetripathi58 Learn French in 4 weeks. That is a huge claim. He probably just learned how to ask for the bathroom. You can not replace years of learning with a few prompts.

@thetripathi58 Ça m'a pris plus de temps.

@thetripathi58 Why are all Indians liars? Is it the Bollywood movies ? There’s no way you could learn French in 4 weeks using gpt… especially when you couldn’t learn proper English all your life

@thetripathi58 Why use Duolingo and expect to understand a language beyond the surface level?

@thetripathi58 I am going to try these prompts, been doing daily Russian lessons on Duolingo for 2 years still unable to speak.

@thetripathi58 I saw this after i just started learning Spanish on Duolingo.😒

@thetripathi58 It's Duolingo; first learn English, then it might help.

@thetripathi58 @thetripathi58 - Did you stack the prompts or how did you tee them up? thx!

@thetripathi58 Prove it? Lets see video/audio of you speaking French well.

@thetripathi58 Alors ça marche bien ?

@thetripathi58 @YourSkinCareBot Did anybody try this with Indian languages? There’s a huge gap in Indian language tutoring apps

@thetripathi58 No one helped us in 50 yrs. We are dying in Australia.

@thetripathi58 WOW! This is an amazing post. Ive been struggling with Spanish and will see if it crosses over. Thanks

@thetripathi58 @elle_kaye11 That's flipping awesome!!! So, there's no reason illegals can't speak their invaded country's natural language?

@thetripathi58 Wow wow wow

@thetripathi58 Amazing. Which chatgpt app do u use
