On-screen text

DUOLINGO COULDN'T TEACH ME CHINESE IN 2 YEARS. ChatGPT did it in just 3 weeks. These are the exact 6 prompts I used: 1. Vocabulary Builder Prompt: "Create a 30-day vocabulary plan to learn Chinese. Divide it into daily lists with pinyin, pronunciation, sample sentences, and mini-quizzes to help me retain the vocabulary." 2. Grammar Made Easy Prompt: "Explain to me the basic Chinese grammar structures (word order, particles, tense/aspect markers) as if I were 12 years old. Use simple examples and compare them with [my native language]." 3. Daily Conversation Practice Prompt: "Role-play as if you were a native Chinese speaker. Simulate a 5-minute conversation with me in a café. Correct my mistakes instantly and suggest better sentences." 4. Listening Practice Prompt: "Generate two short dialogues in Chinese (less than 100 words). Include audio with pinyin, [my native language] translation, and comprehension questions." 5. Pronunciation Coach Prompt: "Here's my sentence written phonetically in Chinese pinyin [insert sentence]. Analyze it and tell me what I might be mispronouncing and how to correct it." 6. Immersion Technique Prompt: "Act as if you're my Chinese-speaking roommate. Answer me only in Chinese (but give me little hints in [my native language] if I get stuck)."
