8 ejemplos de cómo utilizar ChatGPT para aprender inglés
Hace ya unos meses que llevo utilizando ChatGPT para preparar, organizar y mejorar mis clases de inglés.
La verdad es que la experiencia me ha resultado de lo más gratificadora porque el ChatGPT es como un asistente virtual que resuelve problemas, te da ideas y te organiza la información de una manera mucho más rápida y eficiente.
Por ejemplo: me organiza el vocabulario que tenemos en los chats de nuestras clases online para preparar los exámenes.
Tras esta experiencia positiva, aquí tienes 8 ideas de lo que puedes hacer tú para sacarle partido a esta nueva herramienta.
1. Mantén conversaciones interactivas con el chat
Con ChatGPT, puedes tener conversaciones interactivas simuladas en inglés.
Simplemente inicia una conversación con el modelo y exprésate en inglés. El modelo responderá.
¿No sabes cómo comenzar? Pídele que te de sugerencias.
Aquí tienes un ejemplo:
“Instrucción: Quiero practicar inglés contigo, por favor, dame ejemplos de conversaciones que podamos tener en inglés
“Respuesta de ChatGPT”:¡Claro! Estoy aquí para ayudarte a practicar inglés. A continuación, te proporcionaré algunos ejemplos de conversaciones que podemos tener:
Conversación 1:
User: Hi! How are you doing today?
AI: I’m doing well, thank you! How about you?
User: I’m great, thanks for asking. I wanted to ask you about your favorite hobbies. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
AI: That’s a great question! I’m an AI language model, so I don’t have personal hobbies like humans do. However, I love assisting users like you and providing helpful information. How about you? What are your favorite hobbies?Conversación 2:
User: Hi there! I’m planning a trip to New York City. Can you give me some recommendations on places to visit?
AI: Absolutely! New York City offers a wide range of attractions. Some popular ones include Times Square, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Are you interested in any specific type of activity or cuisine?Conversación 3:
User: Hey, I need some advice on improving my English speaking skills. Can you help me with that?
AI: Of course! Improving your English speaking skills requires consistent practice. One way to do this is by engaging in conversations with native English speakers or language exchange partners. You can also practice speaking by recording yourself and listening for areas of improvement. Additionally, reading English books aloud or watching English movies with subtitles can be helpful. Do you have any specific areas you’d like to focus on?Estas son solo algunas ideas para comenzar una conversación. Si tienes algún tema o pregunta en particular que te gustaría abordar, no dudes en decírmelo. Estoy aquí para ayudarte a practicar y mejorar tu inglés.”
2. Mejora tus redacciones
Otra forma efectiva de mejorar tu inglés es realizar redacciones. Puedes utilizar ChatGPT como tu “asistente de redacción” virtual.
Pídele al modelo que te ayude a redactar un ensayo, una carta o incluso un correo electrónico en inglés. El modelo te proporcionará sugerencias, corregirá tus errores y te ayudará a mejorar tu estilo de escritura.
Ejemplo de mejora de email para hacerlo más formal:
Email informal written by me:
“Good morning Sam, Just to let you know that we removed Pepe Santis from the platform (12/6/2023) to avoid confusion regarding the number of students that are attending that class. If he decides to join the classes again and contacts you directly, please let me know. Thank you”
Email improved by ChatGPT:
“Dear Sam,
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to inform you that we have taken the necessary steps to remove Pepe Sánchez from the platform as of June 12, 2023. This decision was made in order to avoid any confusion regarding the accurate count of students attending the class.
In the event that Pepe expresses interest in rejoining the classes and reaches out to you directly, kindly inform me immediately so that we can address the situation accordingly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,
3. Corrige y mejora tu gramática
ChatGPT es capaz de corregir errores gramaticales y decirte las reglas.
Aquí tienes un ejemplo:
“Instrucción: Please, tell me all the grammar mistakes of this text and tell me what the rules are: Please not forget to schedule your exams with your company students for the last two weeks of January, 2023 as soon as possible. And, here you has the format “progress report” that would not take you too long to fill in. Deadline: Exams results and Progress Reports should be send to us the first week of February. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you very much.”
Respuesta de ChatGPT:
Please do not forget to schedule exams with your company’s students for the last two weeks of January 2023 as soon as possible.
Also, here is the “Progress Report” format, which should not take you too long to fill out.
Deadline: Exam results and Progress Reports should be sent to us during the first week of February.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you very much.
Grammar mistakes:
1)”Please not forget” should be “Please do not forget.”
2)”your exams with your company students” should be “exams with the students from your company.”
3)”for the last two weeks of January, 2023″ should be “for the last two weeks of January 2023.”
4)”And, here you has” should be “And, here is.”
5) “that would not take you too long to fill in” should be “that will not take you too long to fill out.”
6)”Deadline: Exams results” should be “Deadline: Exam results.”
7)”should be send to us” should be “should be sent to us.”
8)”the first week of February” should be “during the first week of February.”
Grammar rules:
- Use “do not” or “don’t” for negation in imperative sentences.
- Use possessive form (“company’s students”) to indicate possession.
- Use a comma before a year in a date (“January, 2023”).
- Use “is” instead of “has” to introduce a noun (“here is the format”).
- Use “fill out” instead of “fill in” when referring to completing a form.
- Use the singular form (“Exam results”) instead of the plural form (“Exams results”) when referring to a specific set of results.
- Use the past participle form (“sent”) after modal verbs or should.
- Use “during” to indicate a specific time period (“during the first week of February”)
4. Aprende a hacer frases bilingües
Yo escribí un libro para aprender 200 con frases bilingües (ver 200 frases bilingües en Amazon) que son difíciles de imaginar pues a menudo, los dos idiomas no se corresponden en absoluto.
He estado probando las traducciones del ChatGPT y son realmente buenas.
He aquí algunos ejemplos:
“Instrucción:Please Give me 10 examples of third conditional in Spanish with its equivalent in English.
Respuesta de ChatGPT:
Sure! Here are 10 examples of the third conditional in Spanish with their equivalent translations in English:
- Si hubiera estudiado más, habría aprobado el examen. If I had studied more, I would have passed the exam.
- Si no hubieras llegado tarde, habríamos visto la película juntos. If you hadn’t arrived late, we would have watched the movie together.
- Si hubiéramos ahorrado dinero, habríamos ido de vacaciones. If we had saved money, we would have gone on vacation.
- Si ella me hubiera invitado a su fiesta, habría asistido. If she had invited me to her party, I would have attended.
- Si no hubieras perdido las llaves, no habríamos tenido que llamar al cerrajero. If you hadn’t lost the keys, we wouldn’t have had to call the locksmith.
- Si hubiéramos comprado las entradas antes, habríamos conseguido mejores asientos. If we had bought the tickets earlier, we would have gotten better seats.
- Si no hubiera llovido, habríamos jugado al fútbol en el parque. If it hadn’t rained, we would have played soccer in the park.
- Si hubieras estudiado más, habrías obtenido mejores calificaciones. If you had studied more, you would have gotten better grades.
- Si no hubiéramos perdido el autobús, habríamos llegado a tiempo a la reunión. If we hadn’t missed the bus, we would have arrived on time for the meeting.
- Si él me hubiera invitado a bailar, habría aceptado gustosamente. If he had invited me to dance, I would have gladly accepted.
Remember that in the third conditional, we talk about unreal or hypothetical situations in the past and their consequences.”
5. Amplia y organiza tu vocabulario
El vocabulario es fundamental para tener fluidez en un nuevo idioma. Con ChatGPT, puedes aprender nuevas palabras y frases de manera continua. Pídele al modelo que te enseñe palabras difíciles o que te dé sinónimos y antónimos de una palabra específica.
Por otro lado, puedes pedirle que te organice el vocabulario que estás aprendiendo en tus clases de inglés.
“Le puedes decir, por ejemplo: “Please make a table with the following vocabulary. The columns should say: 1) English 2) English Phonetics (IPA) 3) Translation into Spanish and 4) Sample sentence:to be in denial, squid, sort something out, to get by with, to do with, to do without.”
Y la respuesta es esta:
| English | English Phonetics (IPA) | Translation into Spanish | Sample Sentence |
| To be in denial | tu biː ɪn dɪˈnaɪəl | estar en negación | Despite the evidence, she was in denial about her addiction. |
| Squid | skwɪd | calamar | I ordered a plate of fried squid at the seafood restaurant. |
| Sort something out | sɔːrt ˈsʌmθɪŋ aʊt | solucionar algo | We need to sit down and sort out our differences. |
| To get by with | tu ɡɛt baɪ wɪð | arreglárselas con | Despite the financial difficulties, they managed to get by with their limited income. |
| To do with | tu duː wɪð | hacer algo con | What are you going to do with all the extra free time? |
| To do without | tu duː wɪˈðaʊt | prescindir de | Since the power outage, we have had to do without electricity. |
I hope this table is helpful! Let me know if there’s anything else I can assist you with.”
6. Aprende inglés en un contexto determinado
ChatGPT puede ayudarte a comprender mejor el inglés en diferentes contextos. Puedes plantear preguntas sobre expresiones idiomáticas, modismos o frases comunes en inglés y el modelo te proporcionará explicaciones y ejemplos de uso. También puedes explorar temas específicos, como negocios, tecnología, ciencia, cultura, entre otros. El modelo te brinda la oportunidad de aprender vocabulario y estructuras gramaticales relevantes para tus áreas de interés.
7. Pídele que te ponga a prueba
Si quieres saber si has aprendido una estructura gramatical, o un vocabulario, o un ejercicio de redacción, o de lectura puedes pedir al ChatGPT que te prepare un test para ponerte a prueba. Puedes indicarle también el nivel al que quieres el ejercicio.
Aquí tienes un ejemplo:
“Instrucción: Por favor, prepara un ejercicio de comprensión lectora de nivel B1 en inglés
Contestación ChatGPT: Claro! Aquí tienes un ejercicio de comprensión lectora de nivel B1 en inglés:
