What is the main focus of using AI to improve English?
G'day you mob, welcome to Aussie English. I'm your host Pete and my objective here is to teach you guys the English spoken down under. So whether you want to sound like a fair dinkum Aussie or you just want to understand what the flippin' hell we're on about when we're having a yarn, you've come to the right place. So sit back, grab a cuppa and enjoy Aussie English. Let's go. G'day, you mob. Welcome to the Aussie English Podcast. I hope you're all going well. Now, today, we're going to be talking about something that is absolutely everywhere at the moment, AI. But more specifically, how you can actually use AI to improve your English. Because here's the thing. Most people are using AI completely wrong.
They're treating it like Google. They're asking questions, reading answers, maybe learning a few new words, but they're not actually improving their English in any meaningful way. They're not speaking, they're not getting feedback, and they're not repeating anything. And so, even though they've got access to this incredibly powerful tool, nothing really changes. And you might be doing this right now without even realising it. So, here's the key idea for today. AI should be your personal English coach, not just a dictionary. If you use it passively, nothing happens. But if you use it actively, if you speak, interact, get feedback, you can improve ridiculously fast. So, in today's episode, I'm going to give you six smart ways to use AI properly.
These are all practical, they're all simple, and they're all things you can start doing today. In fact, if I were learning another language right now, this is exactly how I'd be using AI. Before we get into the meat of this episode, though, guys, quick heads up. I've put together a free PDF that fixes all the issues that people have with AI, and it goes with today's episode. It shows you exactly how to turn AI into a speaking partner, how to get feedback properly, and a simple 10-minute daily routine that you can follow. So, instead of just listening to this episode, you can actually start improving today. You can download that for free in the description. All right, let's get into number one. Method one, AI as a speaking partner.
So, first, and probably the most powerful way to use AI is to use it as a speaking partner. Now, one of the biggest problems for English learners is not having someone to practice speaking with. Maybe you don't know many native speakers. Maybe you don't have time to meet up with people. Or maybe you just feel a bit nervous speaking English in real life. But that's completely normal. But this is where AI is incredibly useful because you have someone you can talk to 24 hours a day, seven days a week with zero pressure and zero judgment. So, how do you actually do this? It's very simple. You open up AI, could be ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, whatever it is that you're using, and you ask it to roleplay a situation.
For example, you could say, pretend you're an Australian barista. I'll order a coffee. Correct me if I make mistakes. And then you just start speaking. You order a coffee, you respond to questions, you have a conversation, and you can do this for anything. Any topic you want. You could practice job interviews, small talk, conversations at work, chatting with friends, opening a bank account. Anything you're likely to experience in real life. Now, here's the really important part. Most people will still use this incorrectly. So, make sure you do these three things. First, speak out loud. Don't just type your answers. Actually speak. Even if it feels a bit weird at first. Because fluency comes from speaking, not typing.
Second, keep your answers short. Don't try and say everything perfectly in one long sentence. Keep it simple. That way, you can get more back and forth conversation. More turns equals more practice. And third, don't interrupt yourself for correction. Finish what you want to say and then ask for feedback. That way, you're training fluency first and accuracy second. Now, here's where you can make this even better, especially for Aussie English.
