I don't really listen to songs that
much but this... is something

Content is King

It really is b/c with good content even a bad looking app can become 10x more valuable than a great looking popular app.

That's why I need your help with making a decision on what to focus on.

Learning Spanish is good but i guess it's not a burning issue for the users of this channel.

As for the level, since most of you are at around and above intermediate, I decided to focus mostly on Upper-intermediate and advanced content but if you would like something else, let me know in the comments.

I came up with the following ideas:

1. English thru great book summaries in the form of short stories - you can learn the most important ideas that are put into a fun story for you to learn English and awesome ideas to improve your life. We could start with a story summary of "Atomic Habits" for example.

2. Motivational Stories - We could learn some advanced vocab and grammar thru Motivational stories that teach us life lessons

3. IELTS Speaking Stories - we could take the most common topics in part 2 and 3 and come up with stories together by using the most natural words and grammar

4. Your Stories - I can give you a list of 10 - 15 words / phrases + grammatical features to focus so that each one of you could come up with a statement that uses one of the words / phrases which I will personally review and inprove if i have to and add it to a large narrative that we all can use to take our English to the next level.

5. Please share your idea in the comments below.

P.S. Personally, I am most excited about 1. book summaries b/c of the value you can get from some of the best books I have ever read but I prefer to give you what you want, not what I want.

P.P.S. The spoken story in all 4 ideas will be around 2 minutes long so that you can use it in your ielts speaking. The full story will be much longer though.

Using ChatGPT's Voice to learn a language is pretty incredible.

I'm improving my mother tongue (let's say its German) that I only learnt until the age of 3 years old. The best way to improve a language beyond the beginners stage is by talking. of course, though it could be difficult to find people to talk to, tutors can be problematic and software up until now was subpar.

Voice, however is extraordinary. I ask chatgpt to correct my sentence in German and give three alternative ways in better German to say it, and then to continue the conversation by asking me a question in German. It does extraordinarily well, and gives phrases that are of typical use German.

Funny enough the accent that is used is an American German, however the pronunciation is perfect, and with the variable intonations it sounds very realistic.

What I find even more amazing is that I can say phrases in my terrible German, including substituting English words for words I can't remember in German, or if I mangle the sentence, and chatgpt understands everything including my point for that sentence. It's pretty crazy.

I tried using it to help me learn French, which is at a lower level than my German, and even after asking it to speak slowly, it still speaks too quickly in French. This is hopefully something they will give us control over, as currently it's a bit too quick for more beginner language learning.

However for any level of learning there is a great plugin called Speak, which is very good for written language learning . I ask it to correct my sentence, provide three alternative ways to say the sentence in the language (formal, colloquial and slang), and then to ask me a question in the language to continue the conversation. It works better than chatgpt without the plugin.

I also use German in my work occasionally with clients, and I need to improve it, so I ask the AI to role play with me using correct technical jargon, and this works great.

All in all, AI is already a marvelous tool for language learning.

The True Wealth of Selflessness

There was a man who, despite being wealthy, would eat stale bread.

One day, a friend came to visit and said, "Come on, since I've come to see you, slaughter a sheep and set up a feast." The wealthy man agreed, slaughtered a sheep, and prepared a beautiful meal. Just as they were about to eat, the wealthy man said, "Wait, let's take this food to such-and-such place. They have many children; let them enjoy it."

The friend then asked, "Why did you do that? Wouldn't it be good if we ate it too?"

The wealthy man replied, "If I eat now, I'll be satisfied, and I would make you happy too, but all of this would only be for this world. When I die, none of it will benefit me. But bringing happiness to those children's hearts will bring me benefit in both this world and the hereafter."

I have some tough questions to ask myself but I'm sharing this with you in case you can relate:

Would you be willing to put aside your desires, dreams and aspirations to do something for the benefit of others?

How much time and effort can you put into the betterment of the Ummah and please Allah SWT without seeking any worldly gains?

Who do you really look up to and take inspiration from and why?

P.S. I have shared this video before but I wanna do it again b/c just like most of us, I need a reminder
