i think chatgpt is a good partner to practice my dutch lol (but they don’t tell me my gramatical mistakes unless i ask them to specify them)

@mametsuko@mk.absturztau.be yeah, same by me

@mametsuko you literally have aety at home to practice... I really dunno if its a good idea to use chatgpt of all things for this tbh. Since its so error-prone.

Would be better to get someone to learn with you. Some neighbor or even aety.

@stefan i don’t want to waste others’ time for my dutch practice unless i pay for them so chatgpt is a good tool to practice the language i don’t ask anything, just conversation like “oh the weather is good today, what should i do today” etc.

@mametsuko @stefan find a Dutchy wanting to practice Japanese and take turns. Equal service exchange!

@flandrescarlet @mametsuko You basically sum up mame and aety right now lol. As aetios is learning japanese atm.

@mametsuko Oh mame I am pretty sure nobody tell you off for practising language with them. Like genuienly. Taking the effort of language of learning (yet another) language and really giving your best to integrate is really great. Pretty sure people around would totally support that.

Also generally to learn a language its best to use it in practice. Also a fellow human can also help you with pronounciation of words way better than ChatGPT.

You could maybe to some sort of coffee-table or something and just get to talk to people (in dutch) about the most mundane things. Also if you struggle with talking to people to ask about let aety help you get some opportunity going.

You are doing well mame just keep on working You will "git gud" eventually.

@stefan @mametsuko that's one option, yes
But since Mame insists on payment for the practice, I can understand if she wouldn't want to have business relationship in addition to her current relationship with aetios! (or maybe it's fine, idk, I'm no Mame Whisperer )

@flandrescarlet @mametsuko But what if she pays in coffee and bread/sweets

But also helping aety with japanese can also be seen as payment.

@stefan Some people(me!) just don't want business (transactions) with family/partner/friends. Business conflict can bleed over into personal conflict and you never know if someone can keep it separate until you try

If your relationship with a person/entity is purely business, it's easy to stop with little consequences.
