Absolutely! AI can be a powerful tool for personalized language learning, offering tailored support and conversation practice anytime. People can learn at their own pace, focusing on what interests them most. Combining AI with real-life experiences and practice can create a well-rounded approach to language learning. It's all about finding what works best for each individual. Do you enjoy using AI for language practice?

あなた:
“I think it's one of the best ways to learn a foreign language. And I was thinking, suppose I'm someone who has just started learning English, and I don't have a good vocabulary of English, I don't have any knowledge about English grammar. Suppose I'm that person, how would you teach me English? What would you do to help me learn to speak English?”

ChatGPT:
I'd start by focusing on simple, everyday phrases and vocabulary. We could practice basic conversations about topics that interest you, gradually building your vocabulary and confidence. I'd also introduce basic grammar in a practical context, showing you how to use it in real situations. Additionally, I'd encourage lots of practice and repetition, and make learning fun by using stories, songs, or media you enjoy. What do you think?

あなた:
“Yeah, sounds great. So, explain, for instance, the basics of English grammar, supposing that I'm someone who has just started learning English. Explain the basics of English grammar. How would you do that?”

ChatGPT:
Sure! Let's start with the basics. English grammar has a few key components:

Sentence Structure: A simple sentence usually consists of a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a verb (what the subject is doing). For example, "I (subject) am (verb) learning."

Nouns and Pronouns: Nouns are people, places, or things. Pronouns (like he, she, it) replace nouns.

Verbs: Verbs are action words. They tell what the subject is doing.

Adjectives and Adverbs: Adjectives describe nouns (e.g., a red apple). Adverbs describe verbs (e.g., he runs quickly).

Tenses: Tenses indicate when something happens (past, present, future).

We'd start with simple sentences and gradually build on that foundation. Does that make sense so far?

あなた:
“Well, it does, but it's too difficult for a beginner. I mean...”

ChatGPT:
Got it.

あなた:
“For someone who doesn't know any word of English, suppose I don't know any word of English, how would you start an English lesson?”

ChatGPT:
I'd start with very simple, everyday words and phrases. For example, we'd begin with greetings like "hello" and "goodbye," and basic words like "yes," "no," "please," and "thank you." We'd use pictures or gestures to make the meaning clear. Then we'd gradually introduce more words and practice using them in short, simple sentences. This way, you'd get comfortable with the basics first. Does that approach sound better?

あなた:
“Yeah, sounds better. So, let's try it, shall we? I mean, let's pretend that I don't have any knowledge of English grammar, I don't know a word of English, and start a lesson the way you have just described. I mean, I'm a Japanese boy, totally ignorant of English grammar, I don't know a word of English, and start an English lesson.”

ChatGPT:
Alright, let's start! First, I'll say "hello" and you can repeat after me. "Hello" means こんにちは. So, let's try: "Hello."

ChatGPT:
Great job! That's how you say hello in English. Now let's try "goodbye," which means さようなら. Ready? "Goodbye."

あなた:
“Bye.”
00:00
ChatGPT:
Excellent! "Goodbye" means さようなら. You're doing great so far. Now let's learn "please," which is お願いします in Japanese. Ready? "Please."

あなた:
“Thank you.”
00:00
ChatGPT:
You're welcome! "Thank you" means ありがとう. Great job practicing these basics! Do you want to try one more?

あなた:
“Yes, please.”
00:01
ChatGPT:
Alright, let's try "yes" and "no." "Yes" is はい, and "no" is いいえ. First, let's say "yes." Ready? "Yes."

あなた:
“Yes.”
00:00
ChatGPT:
Great! Now let's try "no." Ready? "No."

あなた:

ChatGPT:
Excellent! You're doing really well. "Yes" and "no" are important words. Keep practicing these basics, and you'll get more comfortable with English in no time!

あなた:
“OK, let's continue. Then what?”

ChatGPT:
Next, we can try simple sentences. For example, "My name is [your name]" or "I am from [your country]." Let's start with "My name is." In English, you would say, "My name is Yuki." Want to try that?

あなた:
“Yes, my name is Yuki.”

ChatGPT:
Perfect! That's how you introduce yourself. Now let's try "I am from Japan." In English, you would say, "I am from Japan." Give it a go!

あなた:
“Okay, let's continue. Then what?”

ChatGPT:
Great! We can move on to asking simple questions like "Where are you from?" or "How are you?" In English, "Where are you from?" is asking about someone's country or city. Let's practice that: "Where are you from?" Would you like to try saying it?

あなた:
“Where are you from?”

ChatGPT:
Excellent! You're doing great. "Where are you from?" is a useful question. Now you can answer with "I am from Japan." Keep practicing, and you'll become more comfortable with these basics!

あなた:
“I am from Japan.”

ChatGPT:
Perfect! You're doing really well. Keep practicing these phrases, and you'll get even more confident. Great job so far!

あなた:
“Then what?”

ChatGPT:
Next, we can learn how to ask about someone's well-being. In English, you can say, "How are you?" It's a common way to ask someone how they're feeling. Want to give it a try?

あなた:
“Yes, how are you?”

ChatGPT:
Great! "How are you?" is a friendly way to check on someone. To respond, you can say, "I'm good" or "I'm fine, thank you." You're making great progress!

あなた:
“Then what?”

ChatGPT:
From here, we can build more vocabulary and practice more sentences. We can learn words related to your interests, like hobbies or daily activities. Practicing regularly will help you become more comfortable and confident in English. Keep up the great work!

あなた:
“Yeah, let's continue. Continue being a teacher, would you?”

ChatGPT:
Absolutely! Let's expand on what we've learned. How about we practice talking about your hobbies? In English, you can say, "I like [your hobby]." For example, "I like reading" or "I like playing sports." Would you like to give that a try?

あなた:
“I like building plastic models.”

ChatGPT:
That's great! So, you can say, "I like building plastic models." It's a perfect way to share your interests. We can also practice talking about when you do your hobbies, like "I build models on weekends." Want to try that next?

あなた:
“Yes, I build models on weekends.”

ChatGPT:
Perfect! You're forming sentences really well. Keep practicing and expanding your vocabulary. You're on the right track! If you have any questions or want to learn more, just let me know!

あなた:
“OK.”

AIと英語教育について話してみた

“Hello.”
ChatGPT:

Hi Yuki! How's it going?

あなた:
“Oh, good. And I was having a conversation with a woman, I mean, someone with a female voice, and she was not as good at keeping conversation as you. Who was she?”
ChatGPT:

I'm not sure who that might have been. But I'm glad you're enjoying our conversation! Anything you'd like to chat about today?

あなた:
“Yes, I was talking about AI technology in the future, and I was wondering if the AI would advance so much that there would be no need for anyone to learn a foreign language such as English for the Japanese people. Do you think AI would eliminate the need for learning a foreign language in the near future?”
ChatGPT:

That's an interesting thought. AI translation might become incredibly advanced, but there are still benefits to learning a language, like understanding culture and forming deeper connections. It could be that while AI helps a lot, people might still find value in learning languages. What do you think?

あなた:
“Well, you mentioned the importance of learning the culture of other nations, other cultures, but if AI was able to translate the words or anything representing the culture of a particular nation, is there any need to learn the culture through human communication instead of using AI technology? I mean, if AI can convey the essence or nature or the characteristics or features of the culture of one nation, is there any need for actual human communication?”
ChatGPT:

That's a thoughtful question. Even if AI can translate and convey cultural nuances, human communication has unique value. It builds empathy, deeper understanding, and personal connections that technology might not fully replicate. Plus, learning about other cultures firsthand can be a rewarding experience. Do you enjoy learning languages yourself?

あなた:
“Yes, I do. I mean, one of the reasons why I started learning English with enthusiasm is because I wanted to take part in what people were talking about in English. I mean, English is a foreign language to me, so I didn't understand a word of conversations that were, going on everywhere, on TV, on radio, and so I wanted to be a part of that conversation generally. So, yes, I like to learn a foreign language, and it would be nice if I could have more time to learn other foreign languages than English.”
ChatGPT:

That's fantastic, Yuki! It's great that you have such enthusiasm for learning languages. Being able to engage in conversations and understand different cultures is incredibly rewarding. Are there any other languages you're interested in learning?

あなた:
“Yes, I'm interested in German and French and Chinese, but before that, I would like to keep talking about the future of AI. I mean, you said the importance of understanding the culture of other countries, but as I said, we understand”
ChatGPT:

Absolutely,

あなた:
“or have a grasp of understanding of the culture of a certain nation through language, right? Without language, we wouldn't be able to understand the culture of any country or region. So the culture or the characteristics of the culture is conveyed through language. And now AI is so good at handling language. So if AI can convey the essence of the culture of one nation, is there any need for human interaction? You mentioned the importance of nuances, but nuances are also conveyed by language. Not just by language, but maybe human facial expressions and the tone of the voice. But those can also be now handled by AI. I mean, the voices and facial expressions can be conveyed by AI also. So what's the use of, I mean, is there any need, really a need for human interaction for someone to understand the culture of a country?”
ChatGPT:

You've made a great point. AI can indeed replicate many aspects of communication, including language nuances, expressions, and even cultural elements. But human interaction goes beyond that—it's about building genuine relationships, experiencing emotions firsthand, and the joy of learning and discovery. Even with advanced AI, many people might still find value in these personal experiences. What do you think?

あなた:
“Yeah, there must be people like that, and I consider myself one of them, but the need for human-to-human interaction would, I think, decrease in the future because of the advancement in AI. So my question now is, is English education necessary at school? What do you think?”
ChatGPT:

It's possible that AI advancements could change the way languages are taught. But English education in schools might still hold value. Learning a language can develop cognitive skills, open up more opportunities for communication, and provide a deeper understanding of different cultures. Even if AI can assist with communication, there are benefits to learning a language directly. What are your thoughts on that?

あなた:
“Yeah, I agree that maybe there are benefits in English education at school, but as things stand now, I think the English education at school in Japan is very inefficient and not working as it should. Because, you know, if you think about the amount of time a typical Japanese student spends in trying to learn to speak English, it's huge. I mean, a huge amount of time and energy is being used for learning English. But, can I say, I think there must be a better way to learn to speak English. And I think the school setting is not that. It's not one of the best ways to learn a foreign language because it tends to become, you know, one-sided and, what can I say, you know, students being gathered at one location and that they learn the same thing at the same time, at the same pace, which is not what a language should be learned, I think.”
ChatGPT:

You're absolutely right. Traditional classroom settings often don't cater to individual learning paces and styles, especially for something as dynamic as language learning. More interactive, immersive approaches could be far more effective. Personalized methods, like speaking with native speakers, watching media, or using technology, might provide better results. It's definitely worth exploring alternative ways to make language learning more engaging and efficient. Do you have any specific methods that you find helpful?

あなた:
“Yes, I think so. I mean, for one thing, I think the English education at school should be abolished totally. I mean, it's not working as it should, and not every, not all students want to learn to speak English, right? I mean some students may be very eager and enthusiastic about learning to speak English, but some others aren't, and those other students may be interested in something else, and they want to spend more time in doing things they are really interested in, and that might not be English, you know? So, and English or foreign language is something any one of us can learn by ourselves, because there are many textbooks, dictionaries, good dictionaries and textbooks, and TV programs and radio programs for people eager to learn a foreign language, you know? So, any one of us can start learning a foreign language anytime. So, it doesn't have to be in the school setting, classroom setting. Classroom English education is too inefficient, is what I think.”
ChatGPT:

That's a valid perspective. Traditional classroom settings can be inefficient, especially for subjects like languages that thrive on practical use and personal interest. Allowing students to choose when and how to learn might lead to more motivated and efficient learning. It's important to adapt educational systems to better suit individual needs and interests. How do you envision an ideal approach to learning languages?

あなた:
“I think the use of AI is one of them, one of the best ways to learn a foreign language. Anyone can talk to AI just like I'm doing now. People have different interests and a different level of proficiency or enthusiasm toward learning English. We can all talk to AI like I'm doing now and talk about things they're interested in. Even if I didn't know anything about English grammar or I didn't have a good English vocabulary, I can ask you to teach me how to speak English, don't you think?”
ChatGPT:

Absolutely! AI can be a powerful tool for personalized language learning, offering tailored support and conversation practice anytime. People can learn at their own pace, focusing on what interests them most. Combining AI with real-life experiences and practice can create a well-rounded approach to language learning. It's all about finding what works best for each individual. Do you enjoy using AI for language practice?
