I really liked the pronunciation feature on Duolingo, where the app tells you a sentence, you repeat it, and it checks if you said it correctly. However, it had a few downsides, and the price was too high, so I decided to get the pro ChatGPT version and create my own pronunciation teacher.

Here’s the prompt I used:

I would like you to remember this. I want you to be my English teacher, like an English learning app. Here’s the instruction: I want you to give me random sentences (not too long so I can remember them). Next, I’ll repeat each sentence. Then, you’ll check if I spoke them correctly. If not, I’ll repeat it. If I spoke correctly, you’ll give me the next sentence. We finish when I say 'finish English learning' and start with 'start my English learning.' This prompt is for advanced voice mode to help me learn English.

I also created a vocabulary practice tool where ChatGPT gives me an English word, and I respond with the German equivalent (my native language)

Here’s the prompt I used:

I want you to remember this. I want you to be my vocabulary teacher. You will give me a word in English, and I have to respond with the correct German word for it. You will check my answer, and if it's correct, we’ll move to a new word. If not, you’ll correct me. We start the vocabulary session with 'start vocabulary' and end it with 'stop vocabulary.' This instruction is for advanced voice mode.

You can always expand these features by saying something like: ‘I want you to remember this; I want to update my vocabulary to always do 10 rounds with words.’

It works like a charm

Hope you may find this useful for you
