  • What matters most in language learning?

  • I decided to ask AI and I think you'll be a little surprised at the answer.

  • Certainly I was.

  • This all started because I had a session with my Arabic tutor and he said to me,

  • you know, you have spoken better in Arabic today than ever before.

  • Have you been studying more Arabic?

  • And I said, not really.

  • I've probably spent more time with Persian.

  • However, last night before going to sleep,

  • I did spend about 20 minutes or so going over a lesson in LingQ from MTV Lebanon.

  • So did that influence the fact that I spoke better?

  • Or is it the result of my cumulative involvement with Arabic, listening and reading?

  • I have no idea.

  • I speak to Hassan once a week.

  • So I decided to ask AI.

  • In the past, I've said, if anything, I've said motivation is the most important thing.

  • And I've used this formula motivation plus time with the language divided by frustration, inhibition, and so forth.

  • So I went to AI and I'm a little skeptical of AI because AI sometimes gives you the wrong answer.

  • AI can only sort of react to things that are out there that it scans and reads.

  • In this massive language model, it doesn't judge.
