1
you can absolutely learn English with AI but maybe not in the way
2
that you think because
3
when you learn English with comprehensible input there are two parts there is listening
4
and there is reading and I want to start with reading now something
5
that I do to learn Spanish with AI is I chat to
6
LLMs or large language models so chat GPT Claude these types of AI
7
and when I chat to Claude
8
when I ask Claude questions I ask it to respond to me in Spanish now this is really good input
9
because for input to be effective it needs to be two things it needs to be interesting and more importantly
10
It needs to be understandable.
11
And when you talk to AI, you can talk about anything you want.
12
So I might be interested in learning something about history or something to do with the culture of a certain country.
13
And I will ask Claude to respond to me in Spanish.
14
Now, if I am struggling to understand,
15
I can then prompt Claude or ask Claude to speak to me using more simple vocabulary
16
and to use more simple sentence structure.
17
now this means that I can get inputs about any topic any topic at all
18
that I'm interested in and I can now have it in Spanish
19
and not only that but I can have it at a level
20
that I can now understand
21
and this is such an effective way of reading in a language
22
because with native media If you are trying to read news articles
23
or books they might be too difficult
24
if your level of English is not very high they might be too difficult for you to easily understand
25
so this is such a good way of getting reading practice because you can read about anything that you want
26
and you can ask AI to speak to you in a way that you can understand.
27
So you can use AI very effectively to improve your reading in English.
28
Now my focus for Spanish is mostly on listening, so I don't use it too much for this reason.
29
But if you're someone who reads a lot in English
30
and you want to improve your English by reading this is such a good way to use it
31
and I'm sure that in the future
32
when I'm at a slightly higher level of understanding the Spanish
33
that I hear I will do more of this with AI now the second way
34
that I use AI to help me with Spanish and another way
35
that you can improve your English with AI and I think this is actually the best way.
36
Now if you're learning English with comprehensible input I think it's really important to understand how it works
37
and for you to really believe in the method and something that I find or have found
38
really useful is speaking to AI about how language acquisition works
39
and how comprehensible input works
40
because this has helped me to become more confident in the method especially when I was just starting out.
41
Now I also read articles and I watch videos and these are great ways to learn about comprehensible input.
42
But one thing that is really good about AI is that you can ask it very precise questions.
43
You can ask very specific questions to test your understanding.
44
And if there is anything that you aren't sure about, you can ask AI and get a very quick answer.
45
And a lot of people talk about going down rabbit holes with AI.
46
And this just means going very in-depth and very in detail about a topic.
47
And I think it's fantastic for going down a rabbit hole about language learning because when I was learning about comprehensible input,
48
I wanted to know, okay, I thought I understand why this works for my understanding,
49
but how can I go from a point where I have a good level of understanding, how can I then reach a high level in speaking?
50
And I learned about something called the theory of automaticity.
51
which I might make a video on in the future
52
but this really it's just the idea
53
that you need to train your brain to retrieve the words
54
that you know so when you're speaking you need to create the connections
55
and retrieve the words and retrieve the sentences that you want to say
56
because when you first start speaking if you don't have much practice you haven't trained
57
that part of your to retrieve the words and you have to think a lot about what you want to say.
58
So the theory of automaticity essentially says to make speaking automatic you just need to practice retrieving the words.
59
Now this is just an example of a way
60
that you can use AI to learn more about different parts of language learning.
61
And I really think it's important to believe in the method that you're using.
62
And using AI is such a good way to improve your understanding of the method,
63
really believe in it, and give you confidence that it is going to work.
64
Now, I actually wouldn't recommend using AI for listening.
65
Now, this is because I believe the best way to learn a language is by listening to natural English.
66
If you want to learn English like a native, you need to listen to native speakers and you need to listen to natural English.
67
and I see these AI chatbots and they're good
68
but I think at the moment when you see an AI talking you can tell
69
that it's AI the vocabulary they use is slightly different the
70
sentence structure you can just tell it's not quite right and for that reason I wouldn't recommend using AI
71
for listening because maybe one day we will reach a point where AI is
72
indistinguishable from real humans but I think at the moment you can still tell
73
that it's not a real person speaking
74
and to learn in the most natural way I think it
75
is important to listen to native speakers speak naturally of course at a a level that you can understand.
76
So you can use AI to improve your reading
77
and get great inputs that you can understand
78
and you can also use AI to really improve your understanding and improve your belief in comprehensible input.
79
So thank you for watching, I hope you found this useful and I will see you in the next one.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
