13 years ago when I moved to England, I did not know what was task based language learning. I do indeed hold a precious notebook that will clearly fall into that category. I used to prepare for each task throughly and list answers to any questions I thought I might've got asked.

That was way pre-AI era, when google translate would produce somewhat hilarious translations.

Thank you for this. Definitely task based learning if you need to get conversational pretty quick.

I love this! Preparing, predicting and reflecting on language are essential for using it in the real world. Sounds like those strategies really worked for you!

AI is definitely not required, especially if you’re immersed in the language, a good friend or patient colleague can work even better!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

I have tried a similar approach using GPT to create dialogues on certain topics in Russian, the language I am writing about, and in Portuguese, which I am currently learning. In all cases, the AI was helpful in taking on mundane tasks but needed supervision and active intervention. In the case of Russian dialogues, I was able to catch mistakes myself, but for Portuguese, it required the involvement of a native speaker.

Great to know! It’s definitely not a perfect tool, that’s for sure. Thanks for sharing!
