The conversation you're having with ChatGPT doesn't count!
from Language & Travel Hacking Hosted by Fluent in 3 Months
In this episode of the Language and Travel Hacking Podcast, I share a discussion from my language Bootcamp about using AI for language learning while travelling through Mexico. I praise creative uses of AI, such as generating personalised listening exercises and practising vocabulary, but explain why AI chatbots should not replace real conversations with people. While chatbots make speaking feel easy and pressure-free, they remove the awkwardness, speed, and unpredictability that make genuine communication challenging and rewarding. I also explain why real fluency comes from speaking with humans, not machines. AI can be a useful warm-up tool, and I personally use tools like Anthropic’s Claude and Google’s Gemini in my own learning, but true progress happens when you deal with real social pressure, cultural nuance, and natural conversation. Ultimately, language learning is about connecting with people, not perfecting conversations with a chatbot.
