AI will change language learning forever

play00:02

but what's the best one to help you

play00:03

learn a language faster AI is blowing up

play00:05

this year and chat GPT Bing and Bard

play00:08

have all hit the main stage as three

play00:09

options language Learners can use to

play00:11

learn new words get better at listening

play00:13

and practice speaking whenever you want

play00:15

even without a single native speaker

play00:17

friend to practice with but it's clear

play00:19

that these three AI are not made equal

play00:21

so which one should you use if you want

play00:23

to learn a language faster in fact the

play00:25

more I tested the three options the more

play00:27

I realized it's almost not even a

play00:28

competition there are clear winners

play00:30

depending on where you are in your

play00:31

language journey in this video we're

play00:33

going to do an in-depth comparison of

play00:34

the AI across three categories for

play00:36

language Learners and by the end you'll

play00:38

know what makes each one special and

play00:40

which is the right one for you but it

play00:41

all depends on where you are in your

play00:43

language Journey which takes us to

play00:44

category one which is voice capabilities

play00:47

having back and forth conversations is a

play00:49

make or break part of language learning

play00:51

and many people struggle with this

play00:52

because they don't have anyone to

play00:53

practice with which is where AI comes in

play00:55

as a conversation partner but which AI

play00:57

is best for conversations let's start

play00:59

start with a really important criteria

play01:02

speaking and listening features looking

play01:04

at chat GPT first how easy does chat GPT

play01:07

make it to speak with your voice and

play01:08

listen with your ears in conversation

play01:10

with their AI well if we fire up the web

play01:12

version of chat GPT it's a bit

play01:14

disappointing there's no native way to

play01:16

speak directly to chat GPT and the AI

play01:18

can't speak back to you either luckily

play01:20

on their mobile app you do get the

play01:22

ability to speak to chat GPT with your

play01:24

voice and the feature is solid and

play01:26

Haitian Creole tell me three of John

play01:27

Williams top movie soundtrack

play01:28

Arrangements

play01:30

not bad chat GPT it's c is not bad but

play01:33

Schindler's List should definitely be on

play01:35

this list speaking works on the app but

play01:37

the app unfortunately doesn't have a way

play01:38

for you to listen to chat GPT speak back

play01:40

to you so we can only give chat GPT 2

play01:42

and a half Stars here but here's an

play01:43

inside tip not everyone knows this but

play01:45

chat GPT actually has an easy way to

play01:47

give it full voice features on the web

play01:48

with a Chrome extension and it's quite

play01:50

good it even has some awesome bonus

play01:52

features that we'll cover later in the

play01:58

comparison

play02:03

sper and that's a cop out we know the

play02:06

best Spider-Man was obviously the chat

play02:07

GT voice extension is only available on

play02:09

web but for mobile there's another

play02:11

workaround that I covered in a different

play02:12

video respond with only the French

play02:14

translation May the force be with

play02:19

you that's one way to say so if you

play02:22

follow my web and mobile tutorials

play02:23

you'll get a modified version of chat

play02:25

GPT that will actually add as a fourth

play02:27

group in this comparison and we'll give

play02:28

chat GPT mod 4.5 stars for its speaking

play02:31

and listening features now what about

play02:33

Bing and Bard Bing does a solid job by

play02:35

including both voice speaking and

play02:37

listening features in the web and mobile

play02:39

versions without any modifications so

play02:41

that's a solid start for Bing and the

play02:43

voice features are easy to use Enis

play02:44

debate once and for all in only two

play02:46

sentences Superman versus Batman this is

play02:49

a very difficult question to answer as

play02:52

both Superman and Batman have their own

play02:54

strengths and weaknesses but there's a

play02:56

drawback there's no way to trigger a

play02:58

voice response so if you're in a that

play02:59

environment or can only type you can't

play03:01

get Bing to talk to you there's no way

play03:03

to get it to speak to you you have to

play03:05

speak to trigger The Voice Bing also

play03:07

gives you a 30 response limit in the

play03:09

chat after which they force you to start

play03:10

a whole new chat so this makes long

play03:12

conversations harder so because Bing

play03:14

doesn't give you control over the

play03:15

listening features and there's a chat

play03:16

limit we're going to give it three stars

play03:18

Bard on the other hand has both speaking

play03:20

and listening features on the desktop

play03:21

web version and they got some things

play03:23

right like the chat gbt mod you can tap

play03:25

any AI response to have Bard read the

play03:27

response to You Out Loud Let's Play

play03:30

this

play03:40

one but before we celebrate too loudly

play03:43

Mobile isn't as good on bar you get the

play03:44

listening features on your phone but you

play03:46

don't have the built-in speaking anymore

play03:47

so we'll have to take a star away for

play03:49

that and give it a four voice and

play03:51

listening features are great but there's

play03:52

another important criteria especially if

play03:54

you're a beginner learning a language

play03:56

speed and accent control imagine these

play03:58

two scenarios you're beginner Spanish

play04:00

student abroad in Mexico and you fire up

play04:02

AI to practice Spanish before class in

play04:04

one case you get rapid fire Spanish with

play04:06

a Spain accent thrown at you at 200

play04:08

words a minute and in another case you

play04:10

get AI that speaks slowly so that you

play04:12

can catch each word and the AI has a

play04:14

Mexican accent so it's more familiar to

play04:16

what you're learning which one is likely

play04:18

more helpful to you that's why it's so

play04:20

nice that some AI let you control the

play04:21

speed and accent of the voices so which

play04:24

of the big three give you control over

play04:25

the speed and accent of the ai's voice

play04:27

response well the answer for this is

play04:29

simple being in Bard just don't let you

play04:31

do this you can't change a listening

play04:33

speed and while they let you change a

play04:35

language you don't really get to control

play04:37

the accent itself one St now we know

play04:39

that chat GPT also doesn't natively have

play04:41

listening features so it's joining Bing

play04:43

and Bard on this one but chat GPT mod

play04:45

with a voice plug-in and mobile

play04:46

workaround actually give you pretty

play04:48

powerful controls you can adjust the

play04:49

listening speed to get the AI to speak

play04:51

at a slower pace and for some languages

play04:53

you have a wide range of voices and

play04:55

accents to choose

play04:56

[Music]

play04:58

from

play05:01

[Music]

play05:10

so you might be in great luck if you're

play05:12

learning a popular language like Spanish

play05:14

not all accents are covered and the

play05:16

speed change sometimes makes the AI

play05:17

voice sound less natural so this isn't

play05:19

perfect but we'll give chat GPT mod four

play05:21

stars for being on the front line of

play05:23

course speed and accent control are only

play05:25

useful if you can easily switch between

play05:27

multiple languages if you're a beginner

play05:29

student learning Spanish for example

play05:31

you'll probably get lost in conversation

play05:33

with the AI at times and want to ask

play05:35

questions in English to better

play05:36

understand the Spanish you're hearing so

play05:37

which AI makes it easy for you to use

play05:39

multiple languages in the same

play05:41

conversation or easily switch between

play05:42

languages chat GPT gives you easy

play05:44

language switching when you're using

play05:45

text so you just need to ask the AI and

play05:47

if we look at the speaking feature on

play05:49

the chat GPT app it's surprisingly good

play05:52

I tried to trip up the voice recognition

play05:53

by speaking in both English and Spanish

play05:55

in the same sentence and it actually did

play05:57

a pretty good job understanding me even

play05:59

though I switch languages mid sentence

play06:01

Hi how are

play06:02

you and then switch back to

play06:06

English no way got that nice not bad

play06:10

chat GPT it's missing speaking and

play06:12

listening features on web and it has no

play06:13

listening on mobile so we have to take

play06:15

some points away for that but the

play06:16

support for multiple languages on the

play06:18

chat GPT app speaking part gets it a

play06:20

three star here now if we look at the

play06:22

chat GPT mod we get all this plus more

play06:24

controls on the speaking and listening

play06:26

languages here I tried setting my

play06:28

language to English chat gpts to Spanish

play06:30

and then I had a conversation in two

play06:32

languages using this prompt I'll speak

play06:34

in English and I want you to only

play06:35

respond in Spanish rate the Aragon movie

play06:39

out of five compared to the

play06:50

book and I was able to continue speaking

play06:53

in English while chat GPT responded in

play06:55

Spanish not too shabby we'll give chat

play06:57

GPT mod a four stars in response B in

play07:00

barard both support typing with the AI

play07:02

in multiple languages via text but with

play07:04

voice you only get one language at a

play07:05

time that the AI both listens and speaks

play07:07

to you in you can always change this one

play07:09

language but it takes multiple steps to

play07:11

change it in both Bing and bar so

play07:13

because of the extra Hoops to jump

play07:14

through for multi- language

play07:15

conversations we can't give these any

play07:17

more than two stars in all when it comes

play07:19

to the voice conversations category the

play07:21

modded version of chat GPT has the leap

play07:23

but voice conversations are only one

play07:25

part of what a language learner needs

play07:26

from an AI tool the AI also needs to be

play07:29

a available on the go convenient and

play07:31

reliable to actually teach you the

play07:32

correct information so you don't end up

play07:34

accidentally learning the wrong things

play07:36

and worsening your language skills so

play07:38

what features do the 3 AI have in place

play07:39

to help Learners with this and which one

play07:41

is the most reliable well it all starts

play07:43

with this and considering which of the

play07:45

three options is mobile friendly Bard is

play07:47

a good first example of why this is so

play07:49

important because Bard has no mobile app

play07:51

when you're out and about and want to

play07:52

use it you have to open up a browser

play07:55

jump to a website and then you can

play07:56

finally start a chat with the AI it

play07:58

might not seem like much but when you're

play08:00

rushing through the New York City subway

play08:01

and over hear someone say the word

play08:03

Toritos and realize you haven't learned

play08:05

the word yet those extra steps are

play08:06

enough to stop you from using Bard to

play08:08

learn a new word and improve your

play08:10

language skills another con Bard is

play08:12

missing voice speaking features in its

play08:14

mobile version so I almost never use

play08:16

Bard naturally when I'm out because of

play08:17

the extra friction and this isn't great

play08:20

since you always want to be ready to

play08:21

learn new words and phrases as a

play08:22

language student two star but I suspect

play08:25

that Google is probably working for

play08:26

something in the background for this so

play08:28

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the

play08:29

future now what do chat GPT and Bing

play08:31

bring to the table on Bing you do get a

play08:33

dedicated mobile app to chat with the AI

play08:36

and unlike Bard you get the full voice

play08:37

features on mobile it'll take you two

play08:39

tabs to start a conversation one tap to

play08:41

open the app and another to start the

play08:43

chat

play08:44

feature this already makes it leaps more

play08:46

accessible and easy to use while on the

play08:48

go and I pull this out regularly to

play08:50

learn new phrases four stars on chat GPT

play08:53

we take it up another level there's a

play08:55

dedicated mobile app that can get you

play08:57

into a conversation in under 2 seconds

play08:59

seconds 2 1

play09:02

go nice we're in you tap to open the app

play09:06

and it takes you straight to a

play09:07

conversation without you having to do

play09:09

anything else this extra speed makes all

play09:11

the difference it's fast enough that

play09:13

I've used it to look up a word when I'm

play09:14

talking to a group of friends and I

play09:16

frequently use it to look up phrases

play09:17

when I'm out or walking to the gym or

play09:19

watching a new show and hear a new

play09:20

phrase the app has speaking but no voice

play09:23

listening features so we can't give it

play09:24

full marks but we'll drop a 3.5 the chat

play09:27

GPT mod with a mobile voice workr gives

play09:29

you the same access but you have the

play09:30

added voice listening features so Chad

play09:32

GPD mod picks up 4.5 Stars being mobile

play09:35

friendly with an app is key but so is

play09:37

having access to the latest information

play09:39

and verifying that you're not actually

play09:41

learning the wrong things that's where

play09:43

the next Factor internet access comes

play09:45

into play chat GPT Falls from Grace here

play09:48

and gives you no access to the latest

play09:49

information on the internet so you can't

play09:51

talk about the 2022 World Cup and no you

play09:54

can't talk about killing Murphy's

play09:55

performance in the latest Oppenheimer

play09:57

film because those are newer events it's

play10:00

not ideal at all all hope isn't lost

play10:02

open AI did play with giving users

play10:04

access to this feature at one point and

play10:06

then they took it away so there's a

play10:07

chance it might come back in the future

play10:09

who won the 2022 World Cup I'm sorry but

play10:12

I cannot provide real-time information

play10:14

or updates beyond my last knowledge

play10:16

update in September 2021 but for now one

play10:19

St but before we strike down chat gbt

play10:21

too harshly it does have a redeeming

play10:23

quality you don't have access to new

play10:25

information but you can ask chat GPT to

play10:27

site its sources for the information you

play10:29

do have access to it usually won't site

play10:31

sources automatically but you can ask

play10:33

for it so two stars as for the chat GPT

play10:36

Mod The Voice plugin won't give you

play10:38

internet access but there's a separate

play10:40

extension you can add to give you

play10:41

internet access called Web Chat GPT the

play10:43

mod Works yes but it's a bit clunky to

play10:46

use and I'm not the biggest fan of it so

play10:47

I don't find myself actually using this

play10:49

in the wild and I'll consider making a

play10:50

video breaking down why but the added

play10:52

Internet access feature gets chat GPT

play10:54

mod three stars internet lookup is where

play10:56

you're going to be big fans of Bing and

play10:58

Bar Bing gives you internet access on

play11:00

the web version and mobile version

play11:02

without any mods needed Bing also shares

play11:04

the sources of information it uses in

play11:06

its answers with you often without you

play11:07

even having to ask and you can of course

play11:09

ask beinging for sources to definitely

play11:11

include them how did critics rate Tom

play11:13

Hardy's performance of Bane in The Dark

play11:14

Knight Rises say your sources Tom

play11:17

Hardy's performance of Bane in The Dark

play11:19

Knight Rises received mixed reviews from

play11:21

critics some praised his physical

play11:23

presence voice and Charisma While others

play11:26

criticized his lack of depth motivation

play11:29

and backstory here are some examples of

play11:32

critical opinions on his portrayal

play11:34

internet access on Bing is really easy

play11:35

to use and this is probably what I use

play11:37

Bing the most for so we'll give it 4.5

play11:40

Stars Bard is somewhat comparable to

play11:42

Bing you get internet access out of the

play11:44

box which lets you talk about any Topic

play11:46

in the world but after you send your

play11:47

prompt Bard sometimes gives you the

play11:49

option to Google search your prompt to

play11:50

cross reference sources which is not the

play11:52

same because it doesn't usually tell you

play11:53

the source of information it used in its

play11:55

responses to you it forces you to Google

play11:58

the question yourself you can also ask

play12:00

bar to give you sources but sometimes it

play12:02

doesn't give you the sources even when

play12:03

you ask what was the highest grossing

play12:05

Batman film please include your sources

play12:08

of

play12:10

information so it's not as good as being

play12:12

here and we'll have to give it a 3.5

play12:14

voice conversations and convenience

play12:16

reliability take you far and there's

play12:18

just one thing missing structured

play12:20

Collaborative Learning this is where we

play12:22

judge how well the AI lets you work with

play12:24

other people like language teachers to

play12:25

track and improve your skills and how

play12:27

flexible the AI is is to adjusting to

play12:29

exactly what you need matching your

play12:31

language level whether begin or Advance

play12:33

doing things like making quizzes for you

play12:35

modifying its responses to be more

play12:37

formal or include slang and much more

play12:40

without the sense of customization the

play12:42

AI might feel too hard for beginners and

play12:44

too unfocused for advanced students and

play12:46

you'll see what I mean through a few

play12:47

examples but this category is really

play12:49

important and it all starts with

play12:51

conversation sharing the value of being

play12:52

able to share your conversations with

play12:54

the AI is that you can send your chats

play12:55

to language teachers or friends and ask

play12:57

them to help you fix mist mistakes

play12:59

measure your language progress and also

play13:01

call out where the AI might be making

play13:03

mistakes to make sure you're not

play13:04

learning the wrong things chat GPT

play13:05

starts out pretty strong here it lets

play13:07

you create a link to a conversation that

play13:09

creates a snapshot of the chat and you

play13:10

can give that link to anyone to use and

play13:12

see the chat for themselves it's also

play13:14

really cool because a link lets anyone

play13:16

use your chat as almost a template and

play13:18

continue the conversation from where you

play13:20

left it off when you made the link so a

play13:21

language teacher could Kickstart a

play13:23

conversation with AI about Avengers to

play13:25

practice a new phrase prepare the AI at

play13:27

the right level of difficulty and then

play13:28

share that learning environment that's

play13:30

already been set up with students using

play13:32

a shared link and ask students to carry

play13:34

on with the conversation themselves as a

play13:36

language exercise that the teacher can

play13:38

then use to help the students improve

play13:40

you can also access all your shared chat

play13:42

links here so this is overall a really

play13:44

powerful and unique feature that makes

play13:45

it possible for AI to work with language

play13:48

teachers not as a replacement this is

play13:50

such a useful feature and chat GPT does

play13:52

so well that we're going to have to give

play13:54

our first five stars of the

play13:57

day

play13:59

Bing also lets you share chats by

play14:01

generating a link to your conversations

play14:02

with AI and other people can use that

play14:04

link to continue the conversation but

play14:06

for some reason Bing sometimes only

play14:08

shares one response from the

play14:09

conversation instead of the full thread

play14:11

sometimes the links also fail on web and

play14:13

I haven't been able to get them working

play14:14

fully on mobile either so it feels like

play14:16

Bing is trying to build this feature but

play14:17

it's not fully working smoothly yet I'm

play14:19

hoping this will improve soon but for

play14:21

now two stars and Bard comes in with

play14:23

link sharing as well but you can access

play14:25

them in both web and mobile and Bard

play14:26

gives you some additional controls to

play14:28

share just part of the conversation or

play14:30

the full threat and all of your public

play14:31

links are displayed here for easy

play14:33

viewing Bart is doing solid so far but

play14:35

it does not use the shared link as a

play14:36

template to continue the conversation so

play14:38

we're going to give Bard three stars

play14:41

this next factor is so so important that

play14:43

I might say it's the most useful or most

play14:45

frustrating if an AI tool gets it wrong

play14:47

and that's structured responses by this

play14:50

I mean does the AI let you customize how

play14:52

it responds to you length format

play14:55

difficulty and all rather than the AI

play14:57

always responding however it wants some

play14:59

AI will let you ask for tables ask for

play15:01

vocabulary in a list format generate

play15:03

multiple choice quizzes draw using texts

play15:05

respond with long paragraphs or long

play15:07

sentence phrases and more when the AI

play15:09

can listen and respect your structure it

play15:12

really turns it into a Lego block that

play15:13

you can use to build almost anything you

play15:15

want for language learning language

play15:17

games like Jeopardy language correctors

play15:19

a language writing coach and so much

play15:21

more and when AI doesn't respect your

play15:23

structures it makes it really

play15:24

frustrating to use Chad GPT rocks here

play15:27

it gives you so much control especially

play15:29

with GPT 4 that you can get it to almost

play15:31

respond in any way that you want I sat

play15:32

down for a few days and created 100 chat

play15:35

GPT prompts to get it to do things like

play15:37

create language games like Pictionary

play15:38

teach me grammar Concepts and a bunch

play15:40

more just to see what it could really do

play15:42

and I share the result in another video

play15:44

Chad GPT is extremely versatile and does

play15:46

a good job at customizing to almost

play15:47

exactly what you need if you prompt it

play15:49

in the right ways yeah I never imagined

play15:51

I'd be able to play language Pictionary

play15:52

with an AI we're going to have to give

play15:54

our second five stars of the

play15:57

day Bing is also pretty solid here it

play16:00

does try to follow your structure

play16:02

especially since it's powered by chat

play16:03

GPT under the hood Bing also gives you

play16:05

the option to decide how factual or

play16:07

creative you want the AI to be before it

play16:08

responds which is also nice because Bing

play16:11

has a slightly less adaptive UI it

play16:13

sometimes makes it harder for it to

play16:14

follow its structure like chat GPT so

play16:16

it's good but chat GPT has the edge

play16:18

we'll give bang four stars and Bard yeah

play16:21

this is my least favorite aspect of Bard

play16:22

getting it to follow a specific

play16:24

structure is sometimes like pulling

play16:26

teeth even simple things like asking

play16:27

BART to respond in one sentence can be

play16:30

hard it takes so many tries to find a

play16:31

good prompt that gets Bard to respond

play16:33

how you want it to that I now only use

play16:35

Bard when I'm fine to have a

play16:36

conversation without following any

play16:37

structure or when I just want

play16:39

information there's no world I see right

play16:40

now where Bard would create a custom

play16:42

game of Jeopardy for me Bard does let

play16:43

you customize the responses to be

play16:45

shorter or more formal and things like

play16:46

that but it lets you do this after the

play16:48

response not before so that breaks up

play16:50

the flow of the conversation a bit Bard

play16:52

would have to take two stars here for

play16:53

now just before I tell you which AI I

play16:55

think is the best for language Learners

play16:57

here's an honorable mention bonus

play16:59

feature that a lot of AI don't have

play17:01

image upload on Bard if you set to

play17:03

English for now the AI lets you upload

play17:05

images and it will scan the images and

play17:07

let you have conversations about it

play17:08

which is really cool I've used this for

play17:10

filling in vocab sheets or describing

play17:12

things visually in Spanish and this is a

play17:14

super cool and unique feature that's not

play17:16

easily found elsewhere so plus two stars

play17:18

for this one more surprise Bing actually

play17:21

just jumped into the scene and is now

play17:23

offering the same image upload feature

play17:25

and Bings is available in languages

play17:27

besides English two so we'll have to

play17:29

give Bing three stars here so with all

play17:31

this taken into account I think that

play17:33

chat GPT mod is the best allaround

play17:35

option of the three for language

play17:36

Learners right now and when I want to

play17:38

talk about a recent topic that needs

play17:39

internet access I use Bing as my second

play17:42

goto I'm not counting at Bard yet but

play17:43

I'm going to wait for a few more

play17:45

improvements before I use it over the

play17:46

other two for now these two videos will

play17:48

walk you through how to mod chat GPT on

play17:50

web and mobile so you can do the things

play17:51

you described here I hope this helps in

play17:53

your language journey and a la

play17:57

Proxima
