Ben Weeks<p>Learning languages can be difficult, but if you know a bit of Python, it can be made easy! I made a guide on how to use Python and ChatGPT to make flashcards in Anki, to help you learn any language you want- from German to Japanese- more easily.</p><p><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/benscodingblog/p/how-to-use-python-and-chatgpt-to?r=5o2bjy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">open.substack.com/pub/benscodi</span><span class="invisible">ngblog/p/how-to-use-python-and-chatgpt-to?r=5o2bjy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blog</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chatGPT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/anki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anki</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/languagelearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>languagelearning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/guide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guide</span></a></p>

S.T. Veje<p>I’ve begun watching Spanish speakers talking about books on YouTube and I’m surprised how well I understand spoken Spanish, given how little I can *speak* Spanish and how little practice I’ve had listening to Spanish before now.

It’s different but overall I think I like it. It’s free with a paying mode. <br>Duolingo’s interface is more streamlined while renshuu’s feels overwhelming at start with a lot of info alongside study items and quizzes. <br>It’s a lot more flexible though in terms of content selection. A feature I really like is you can export the items you learned, something sorely missing in Duolingo. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Duolingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Duolingo</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/renshuu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>renshuu</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/languagelearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>languagelearning</span></a></p>
