I've been doing a lot of testing with the advanced voice mode of chat GPT and in this video I'm going to share five things you can do as an English learner that you can't do or can't do as well with the regular voice mode let's use a conversational voice prompt to practice listening all right now I want to practice I want to do a listening exercise to help improve my English listening I'm not a native English speaker so what I want you to to do is is have you say a paragraph with three sentences in
it and some difficult words and I want you to say it pretty fast and really like a native English speaker with connected speech I'm going to listen carefully and I'm going to try to write down every word that you say I might not get it the first time but this is just a listening exercise for me okay sounds like a great exercise here's the paragraph despite the complexity of the archaeological avation the team meticulously documented every artifact they work tirelessly their dedication unwavering to ensure the preservation of ancient history okay one more time sure here
we go despite the complexity of the archaeological excavation the team meticulously documented every artifact they worked tirelessly their dedication unwavering to ensure the preservation of ancient history okay can you do the second sentence again they worked tirelessly their dedication unwavering to Ure Ure the preservation of ancient history I think I got the whole thing uh can you once again say the I think it's the 1 two 3 4 five sixth word of the first sentence can you say that again the sixth word of the first sentence is archaeological okay can you say that a little
more slowly sure archeological okay all right I think I've got it all right so let's do the whole thing I'm going to repeat it back to you just just to double check make sure I got it right despite the complexity of the archaeological excavation the team meticulously documented every artifact they worked tirelessly their dedication on wavering to ensure the preservation of ancient history you nailed it that's exactly right well done your listening skills are sharp do you want to try another one or is there something else you'd like to work on let's work on some

of interaction so I want to play a kind of uh RPG Style game that's mostly dialogue instead of you just describing actions I want you to set the scene at the beginning I'm the main character of this RPG game but the purpose of the game is to help me practice my English all right you play all of the NPCs that I interact with again I don't want it to be mostly about actions and descriptions I want it to be mostly about interactions conversations persuasion so that I can actually practice my English let's go with something
like a a Sci-Fi scenario yeah let's do a Sci-Fi RPG game and I want to be interacting a lot with my environment especially through through speech try to keep descriptions especially in-depth descriptions to a minimum uh make descriptions fairly simple so that I know basically what's going on um you don't need to add a bunch of detail sounds fun let's dive into a Sci-Fi RPG you find yourself aboard a massive spaceship the star Voyager you're a skilled Diplomat tasked with negot negotiating alliances in the Galaxy the ships AI Ava greets you good morning Diplomat we're
approaching the planet Zenon the council awaits your proposal for the trade agreement how would You' like to prepare hello you can please give me the most important information that you can about the planet especially any key details that I should know as part of the negotiation Zenon is a technologically advanced planet known for its mining of Rare Minerals essential for spacecraft construction the council is interested in a trade agreement that offers their minerals in exchange for our agricultural technology to improve their food production I see and are there any possible issues that could arise in
the negotiations um unexpected things that may happen or that I might not be aware of which I should consider before we begin the negotiations one potential issue is the Zenon council's internal politics some factions May oppose the agreement feing dependency on external resources additionally they might negotiate aggressively for more favorable terms it's crucial to identify their key interests and leverage our Technology's value to secure a balanced deal very good very good and can you tell me anything about their species something that I could use perhaps to get in their good graces or show that I'm
genuinely interested in not just not just their minerals but them as a people as a token as a symbol as an indication that I mean what I say the Zenon have a tradition called the ceremony of Echoes where they share stories of their ancestors achievements participating in this ceremony or referencing it respectfully could demonstrate your interest in their culture showing appreciation for their Heritage might earn their respect and Trust we will reach Zenon in approximately 2 hours you should have plenty of time for a bath and to prepare for the negotiations let's practice English fluency
skills with a casual conversation it's a great way to build confidence hello how's your day going so far good good I want to work on my English uh let's have a casual conversation about about a topic during the conversation ask me questions and make comments but don't talk too much or talk for a long time about a topic and by the way it's okay to go from one topic to the next let's make it you know real like a natural flowing conversation absolutely that sounds great so let's start with something simple have you picked up
any new hobbies or interests recently let's do a less generic topic and and can you make your way of speaking a bit more neutral you sound a little enthusiastic and I feel nervous around enthusiastic people sure let's try again how about we talk about travel have you been to any interesting places lately or is there a destination you'd like to visit in the future I I would I would love to maybe we can skip travel though because I haven't traveled in several years I recently had a a kid and it's been tough to travel because
of him no complaints but maybe we could talk about parenting as that's something that's always on the top of my mind these days that's wonderful parenting is such a rewarding Adventure how old is your little one and are there any aspects of parenting you found particularly interesting or challenging uh so he's about 14 months and so that's a critical time for him to develop new skills he's of course already walking around and very mobile very active but now is the time for him to pick up new language to learn words and to start using them
and go from that sort of baby stage to the toddler stage and the thing that I'm most concerned about is am I doing it right you know am I am I teaching him words in the right way am I making it interactive is he learning at the right pace should I be pushing him to speak more because he can Rec recognize so many things but he can only say about eight words at this point and I don't know if that's good or if I should be pushing more it seems like you're really tuned in to
your child's language development what kinds of activities or games do you use to encourage him to pick up new words well one thing that he really likes to do is point at stuff so when we go outside I'll just say where is the for example where is the sky where is the car where is the tree and he will point at it usually and say uh sometimes he'll say the thing itself sometimes with with the words that he knows for example if I say where is Mama he will point and say mama so I think
this has been a pretty natural way for him to to pick up new words and uh now he's he's really trying to start speaking more but a lot of what is what he's saying is kind of baby talk if you have the chance to try these things out let me know how it goes in in the comments if you have other ideas things that I haven't tried that you would like me to try again leave those in the comments if you haven't done so already don't forget to hit the like button and subscribe get a
