How To Learn French With AI In Just Minutes A Day! 🇫🇷

Hi, how are you? I like this park. And you? Yes, me too, I like this park. Great. What are your favorite hobbies? I prefer to walk in the woods. That's nice. Do you have pets? No, I don't have pets, but I like dogs. Dogs are nice. What subject do you like to study at school? I like to study math. Me too, I like math. Do you prefer algebra or geometry? I prefer algebra. What you've just witnessed is me having a conversation in French with an AI-based language learning app called Quazel. Quazel is a language learning startup funded by the legendary San Francisco-based startup accelerator Y Combinator. If you have been in the language learning space for a while, you will know that the quickest way to learn a language is through conversation. For most people, the goal is to be able to carry out a conversation in the target language. And this operational fluency can be reached very quickly, in about 6 to 8 months. The problem with traditional language learning is that instead of using a conversational approach, you are taught grammar, vocabulary, tenses, and you are sold this idea that the harder you work on mastering the rules of grammar, that your brain will magically come up with the correct sentences during a real conversation. If you think about how you speak your native language, you will realize that your brain does not rely on the rules of grammar to come up with the correct sentence. But instead, you know that the sentence sounds right for that particular context. From my experience, I find that the most effective way to learn a language is to speak it from day one with the little words that you know, however wrong it may be. This is how babies learn a language. They start out by babbling grammatically incorrect sentences, but eventually, as they hear their parents speak the correct phrases through conversation, they learn to speak the right sentences. In his book, The Language Instinct, Stephen Prinker notes that children speak grammatically correct sentences even before they go to school. Obviously, babies have a higher learning rate and absorb everything like a sponge, but research shows that this is still the most effective way to learn a language even for adults. When I was new to France, the system that I used to learn French was to identify and learn high-frequency words in sentence format. A course that is effective at employing this approach is called Language Transfer. It's a free audio program that teaches you commonly used phrases in different scenarios. I talk about this program at length in my previous video, and you can find the link to the program and the video in the description below. Once you complete the program, you will know what to say, but you may still have trouble understanding native speakers. This is when you enter the next phase of language learning, which is to find someone to talk to in your target language. And luckily for us, we live in the year 2023, which means we don't have to hire expensive tutors or bore native speakers when we struggle to form sentences. Instead, we can use an app like Quazel. You talk to the app as though it were a real person. The app will not only respond to you, but it will also correct any mistakes you may have made in your sentences. This real-time feedback provides an opportunity for rapid learning, as eventually, through trial and error, you will begin to form the correct sentences. I cannot recommend this app highly enough for those who want to quickly acquire conversational fluency. Have you already used this app?
