I'm studying German with Assimil. I'm making Anki flashcards with the sentences from the dialogues. I'm also making single-word cards with a translation and an example sentence. Out of curiosity, I've made a list of new words and asked ChatGPT to give me the translation, part of speech, and an example sentence for each word: all at once! I'm astonished at the quality of the sentences, in the sense that they illustrate meaning so well, they usually portray the most common kind of usage, the kind of thing you would like to know how to say at an everyday conversation... The sentences are often better than the ones I could find in dictionaries (which were either incomplete chunks or very complex examples from newspaper articles). The problem: are they reliable in terms of correctness? I put it to test and have been making it generate example sentences in my native language (Portuguese, see picture)... I've picked particularly hard words, like homophones and grammatically tricky ones... After dozens of examples, I haven't found a single mistake! The sentences are good examples, sound natural and are better than what I would come up with... It's really surprising! I have no idea whether the quality would be the same for other languages. ChatGPT itself warns users that it is bound to make mistakes! So I'm not really recommending this as a tool for language learning (if you insist, do it at your own risk). But if one day it becomes more reliable, this can definitely be an amazing tool! All you'd have to do is to take all the dozens of new words you want to study, and it can provide you with all the examples... Then you'd just have to copy and paste into flashcards. If you know German and are curious if you can find mistakes, these are some sentences I asked it to generate.
