so ive been learning a language and chat gpt advanced voice has been a total gamechanger. you have to pay for it if you want to talk for more than like 15 minutes but its well worth paying for the pro version of chat gpt for this alone. i mean a private tutor is still a better experience but its fairly close, and you would pay less to subscribe to pro for a month than the cost of one session with a tutor. im done with stupid apps like duolingo that teach you jack shit. those are just games the amount of hours you put into those apps do not pay out well in terms of language proficiency for the time spent using them. anyone else learning a language and have good resources that actually work for them?

I think Latin based languages are easier to do with this software but if you wanna learn something like Chinese or Japanese that’s still a void.

Of course, advance level skills such as honorifics is hard as they are used only in particular situations and are very hard to use it properly without serious emersion.
One thing though, it's super easy to swear in Korean, there are only a handful curse words you really need to learn and it's all about the tone that you use. I learned that with my Korean classmates back in highschool in 3weeks flat. My later Korean friends say I swear just like a Korean. 
But with what I'd learned with Korean friends in highschool, I'm able to travel in Korea like ordering stuff in a resto, asking clerks to help me with purchases and whatever. Really maybe 100 words or so... yes, they'd know instantly you are not Korean, but it was enough to get by and send the msg to the other party.

The Korean alphabet is modern and intelligently designed. You should be able to pick up reading very quickly, which makes everything else easier.

Being able to read makes it infinitely easier. You can read magazines or subtitles or even street signs, and every time you can make out a word, you just learned a word. I can't hold a conversation in Japanese, but I can get around and enjoy media, because I know a lot of words that are important to topics that apply to my interests (like food and pro wrestling, or just transportation)
Try doing that with Chinese  | |

You can pick things up as you speak, read and write. It's always the same rule.
English is completely messed up in that regard and quite confusing for new learners.
"Our" (Ow-er)
"Your" (U-er)
How does adding another letter change it so much?
"Read" ("reed"in present tense)
"Read" ("red" in past tense)
Even more fucked up, how does 2 separate pronunciations exist for the same word?
The reason we have spelling bee is because English phonetic system is completely messed up.
In comparison, Korean always pronounce a letter in one way. There are no exceptions (not in the words I know/have heard of). Same thing goes for Spanish. How you speak is how you write and how you read. No exceptions other than maybe some fancy characters that aren't often used such as ü and people sometimes write a word containing those letter without using the appropriate one or local accent to certain letter. (for example "yo" can sound like ee-o like "yo-yo" in Spain and she-o in Argentina)

If any of you wankers have Telus services, your Telus Rewards are expiring Jan 30, 2025. Buddy of mine just told me.
So you should check your account and redeem them.
My account had 122 points and I redeemed them for $100 Telus bill credit, but they had gift cards you could get (Timmy's/Starbucks/etc.)
