Hey Michelle, how's it going?

We're recording today on a Monday, so happy Monday.

How are you?

Happy Monday.

I'm good.

How are you?

Feeling great.

Michelle, are you a ChatGBT user?

I am.

What about you?

Yeah, I use it sometimes, for sure.

For brainstorming things, coming up with ideas, lots of things.

Yeah, I remember in the beginning when it first came out, I just kept on saying like, i don't i don't get it i always have

that you know i think everybody has

that moment with some sort of new technology like i don't get why this would help me um

because i remember in the beginning dan would just use it with his friends to make up funny stories um

and he would just say oh make up a story

and like he would make uh he would have it tell a part of the story

and then send it to his friends

and then they would do the next one

and you know it was just you know just for funny things but

so in the beginning I just I was like all right whatever

that's his thing I don't I don't really have a use for it

but yeah I didn't get it

but as time moved on I would hear how other people were using it

and I got more way more into having

it help me in certain areas of my life

it reminds me your comment why you said you didn't get it of do you know

that famous uh clip from I think it's the today show I think

it was Katie Couric who was like have you heard of

this new thing the internet yeah the internet yes about email

or the i don't know which one it was i don't know it's a famous clip

and it's just like yeah no i know what you're talking about i well

it's funny i i i mean we i probably shared this before

but i remember when my dad told me about email

and i remember thinking what you know it's just gonna pop up

and okay who cares you know it's funny how at first your mind is just yeah with i think

so many different areas of technology like okay what i why would why would i need

that and then we have to you can't live without it

and then you can't and then your brain just shapes around it right around this new thing

and guaranteed that's what's going to happen with ai although i think

this time around people are not quite as excited on like a visceral level

there's a big fear there's yeah it's fear

and also just kind of like okay more time online

i think with the internet people were really you know like the dot -com boom

and all people are like wow i could order groceries online this is amazing i think now with ai

if people are like i could have a voice coming out of my refrigerator

i don't know if people are quite as like enchanted by ai the way they were about other

advances you know i don't know maybe i'll speak for myself i don't know i mean i guess it depends

which kind of ai yeah certainly yeah voice coming out of your refrigerator

that does that's not that exciting you know

but there are definitely i mean we're well

this is what we're going to talk about today i mean the one thing

that i really don't like um it i don't want it to i i'm worried

that it will take over creativity and i don't want to lose

that creative muscle um

so sometimes i'll want to do chat gpt actually i was at something the other day

and somebody was making um a speech and they said oh

and i want to thank a person

and chat gpt for helping me write this speech and i

and everybody just was laughing because but i i don't like it in

that way i don't like it to be where we could think of something with our brains

and now we're just relying on it and yeah you know

so it's interesting yeah 100

so in today's episode we are going to model for you what you guys could do with a native speaker

or a friend as you're practicing your english talk about the ways

that you use chat gpt

or just ai in general this is a huge skill to be able to do

because everyone in the world is experimenting most not everyone in

the world many people in the world are starting to experiment with ai now yeah

and so it's a connection skill that's going to come up often right yeah absolutely definitely um

and also sometimes you might share a way that it helps you

that you think it might be beneficial for someone else yeah um yeah

so i you know we're going to talk more about this in just a second

but we want to say thank you to louise uh soriano on spotify right

we just read a really nice review from louise thank you

so much louise we appreciate uh your comment your review guys go to wherever you can rate

or review our podcast whether that's apple spotify or youtube

and leave us a comment leave us a rating and a review

so we know what you think of the show all right exactly yes so

Um, let's get into it.

So we're going to share how, how to start these discussions.

Yeah.

Um, okay.

So the first thing is, did you know you can use it, right?

Whether it's AI, whether it's to X.

So for example, did you know you can use chat CPT to get your macros on food?

It's been so useful for my diet and exercise plan.

What is macros anyways?

I don't even know what that think it's i think i've never known what

that means i said it thinking you know no i hope

you know i think of macros hold on let's see macro nutrients yes the three main nutrients okay

i'm reading from ai thank you ai uh required in large amounts the carbs the proteins

and fats uh so and a lot of times people will track their macros you'll hear

that a lot you know they're tracking their macros about what they've been eating

and what they might need more of very technical term

and did you know you can use AI to rescue yourself in an episode

if you don't know the answer exactly I did know

100

that um yeah um

101

but yeah it's it you know

102

you could just put in that's one way people use

103

it they might use it as a food log um for sure

104

so yeah yeah I love that yeah

105

or you could say I've recently started using chat GPT for x

106

so I've recently started using chat GPT to give me art project ideas for my class.

107

It's so useful.

108

I think it is really good for generating ideas, right?

109

It is really brainstorming.

110

Yeah.

111

Yes.

112

I mean, especially for a teacher.

113

I mean, sometimes, you know, you just, the amount of things you're required to think of and be creative.

114

Yeah.

115

Again, you don't want it to completely take over that creative muscle.

116

That's the fear, I think.

117

But sometimes you just, it can help you with that heavy lifting, heavy lifting right they can feel the blank page as we

118

say the what the blank space on the page right that's really intimidating

119

when you're trying to create something new

120

so it can it can help you avoid that

121

and then you work off of

122

that um another construction here guys

123

you might use in a conversation my favorite thing to use chat gpt for is 2x 2x okay yep um

124

so for example my favorite thing to use chachi upt for is to get recipes for dinner

125

i just tell it what i have in my house

126

and it can give me so many good ideas

127

and i would say for me that's like the number one thing i use it for that's pretty cool that

128

because then you don't have to go shopping for all new um ingredients

129

you just make something from what you have right yeah

130

or i'll say yeah you know like i i

131

or i'll say i don't have this could i substitute it with this or um okay you

132

Or there have been certain times when I really was craving a certain food and I say, I don't have this, but is there something,

133

an idea you can give me of how I can satisfy whatever food I'm craving?

134

Interesting.

135

Okay.

136

Yeah.

137

I mean, I guess in the old days before 2022, before we got ChatGPT, we just went to Google and tried to figure this out,

138

but it would take a lot longer, right?

139

Right.

140

And at first I didn't understand

141

and I said well how is it different than just googling

142

but it's it's giving you everything in one place

143

you don't have to search around different sites I mean yeah yeah yeah for

144

that stuff it's great yeah um or you could say chat GPT helps me right

145

so for example uh chat GPT helps me get design ideas for my house I can send in a picture

146

and it will respond with lots of ideas.

147

And, um, yeah, that, that I will do.

148

I love that.

149

Yeah.

150

Really good.

151

I mean, yeah, that's interesting.

152

I'm not really the cook in my house, but if I were the cook in my house,

153

I would totally use Chajibiti for just saying what I have and what could I make from this?

154

I think that's so smart.

155

Yeah.

156

Oh, and so, and I got that idea because somebody else was, it made something that was really delicious.

157

I mean, this was probably over a year ago, right and then told me oh that they

158

that they use chat gpt all the time for this and

159

so that's where i got the idea now

160

so that's what i'm saying is that it can lead to

161

that connection somebody can give you an idea then you can share

162

it with someone else to do um i love that

163

but yeah do you use it for any of these types of things

164

or anything in particular i use

165

it more for work for my business for our business here

166

at Allers English for brainstorming ideas yeah um even some market research like competitor research

167

you can pull up yeah um or if I'm looking for new logos

168

or images I can generate ideas or rough sketches for them yeah

169

that I might then hand to a designer

170

and say you know can can we do something like this right

171

so you're not starting from scratch that's what I've been using it for in the last week or so.

172

Yeah.

173

So there's, it's unlimited.

174

It's incredible, Michelle.

175

It really is.

176

But of course there's the scary side too.

177

Um, but today we're kind of talking about the, the benefits.

178

Um, so we're going to talk a little bit more about this after the break.

179

Hey, quick question.

180

Do you want to feel more confident when you speak English?

181

If so, we made a free guide for you.

182

It'll help you avoid those common mistakes and start speaking more naturally in real conversations.

183

Go grab it in the description below.

184

And if this is helpful for you, make sure that you like and subscribe.

185

We're here five times a week to help you connect in English.

186

All right, Michelle.

187

So we can do a follow -up later talking about AI and some of the things that don't worry us.

188

We can show you new constructions of how to put those sentences together, guys, in a very sophisticated C1 level way.

189

But for today, what are some questions we could ask people, Michelle?

190

Yeah.

191

I mean, there's the basic.

192

I mean, do you use ChatGPT?

193

Yes.

194

What is the most useful thing you've done with ChatGPT?

195

Yeah.

196

That's really how we have to come up with our own uses by asking people.

197

Because people are, once I went to ChatGPT

198

and I was sort of using it to kind of dream because I have a dream of one day going to India,

199

but, but I would have to work probably.

200

So taking, so doing like a Northern India meditation retreat slash work remote thing where I could access cafes

201

and work with my laptop, but also have weeks where I'm in meditation.

202

So I had

203

Chad GPT plan me this whole route where I could actually do that.

204

It's like of it in that way see now now I can do

205

that too um so yeah and then you know there are words uh

206

that you might use to discuss it you know helpful beneficial valuable these are you know these words

207

that yeah useful um so these can all these can all be helpful yeah I like

208

that dream idea Lindsay that's fun really cool um yeah um do well here's well

209

this goes more under the worry box

210

but is there anything you ever avoid putting in i mean personal data for sure

211

we don't put any personal data or emails or anything like

212

that so i would avoid uploading spreadsheets that have

213

that stuff of course um and then yeah anything

214

that i just don't want out in the cloud

215

because it's all out there somewhere is the way

216

i think of it i don't know exactly where it goes right somewhere yeah right

217

so so but if you're using it mostly for recipes

218

and to dream and to you know things like these it's it's probably okay

219

and yeah i don't know yeah i mean

220

or even planning actual trips like if you are you know like we're we've revealed

221

that i'm having a baby

222

so we're going to be taking a trip in the fall to france to bordeaux oh

223

you are we're gonna do the good for you i am out there out there, Michelle.

224

Good for you.

225

That's what we did too.

226

Yeah.

227

But then we had COVID.

228

So, you know, I feel like whenever we travel, we have constraints, we have special requirements.

229

And how did we address that before with just Google?

230

I don't know.

231

If we go to Chad GVT and we say we're traveling to Bordeaux, but we have a, you know, a six month old baby and,

232

you know, and then our niece and nephew have allergies to this or something, right?

233

So these constraints, layers of constraint yeah you can handle

234

that yeah yeah yeah that yeah that's

235

when it's really really um useful especially yeah for parents for every oh my gosh

236

it can it can really be the greatest let's do a role play

237

so we're eating dinner we're eating dinner at my house here all right okay okay here

238

we go thanks for having me okay sure uh lindsey this is delicious thanks so I'm glad you like it.

239

Do you know where I got the recipe?

240

ChatGPT.

241

Oh really?

242

Yeah I've recently started using ChatGPT for cooking.

243

It's been really helpful.

244

Oh I have to try that.

245

Do you use ChatGPT or AI?

246

Actually a little.

247

I mean did you know you can use it to make travel itineraries?

248

I'm using it for my upcoming trip.

249

It's really beneficial.

250

I will have to try that.

251

Oh man I didn't even see our plans down here that we were going to talk about.

252

I feel like sometimes that happens on this show we talk about something spontaneously and then and then it's yes exactly

253

yeah exactly exactly it happens so um you said i i said this is delicious

254

and you said thanks i'm glad you like it

255

and then you said do you know where i got the recipe chat gpt nice nice

256

and i said really

257

and you said yeah i've recently started using chat gpt for cooking it's been really helpful

258

and that's one of those adjectives that we listed like beneficial valuable, useful, helpful, all good.

259

Yep.

260

And then I said, I have to try that.

261

And you said, so you were, you kind of wanted to continue the discussion and you said, do you use chat GPT?

262

And you said, actually a little, did you know you can use it to make travel itineraries?

263

Right.

264

So, and then I said, I'm using it for my upcoming trip.

265

It's really beneficial.

266

Nice.

267

All right.

268

So again, I mean, I feel like we're hearing about AI in the news all the time every day

269

but here guys we've given you really practical tools to use

270

this as a fluency building topic right keep the conversation going connection connection yeah exactly yeah yes

271

we better we got to get with the times right

272

and start using this to connect

273

because people do get excited about it like oh i can i used it for this

274

and i used it for that and because it's so it's still

275

so fresh and new and there's a lot there's a lot we can learn

276

and again i like this idea

277

that we'll do a follow -up on how to talk about the things

278

that concern us about ai chat gpt things like that

279

so that'd be a great episode um so hit follow

280

and guys check out episode 2637

281

that was can't get over it how to talk about sunsets concerts

282

and more and maybe you'll use it to talk about chat GPT, right?

283

I can't get over how helpful it's been with my cooking or something like that.

284

Exactly.

285

And I think the takeaway here is a lot of our

286

listeners say a big challenge is coming up with topics for conversation,

287

but you don't need to like stress your brain trying to come up with this brilliant topic.

288

Here's a great one.

289

That's very, everyone, most people in the world can relate to this, right?

290

Most people have something to say.

291

So don't feel like you have to be so artistic in the topics that you come up with.

292

Okay.

293

Yeah.

294

There's no reason that you have to draw a blank.

295

Just pull from what's happening now.

296

Right.

297

Yes.

298

Yes, exactly.

299

All right, Lindsay.

300

Well, I'm glad we talked about this today and guys, we'll be talking to you soon.

301

All right.

302

Talk soon, Michelle.

303

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
