Haven’t got any problems when ChatGPT creates a short story if you provide a list of words exported from LingQ? For me, the generated new story contains 34% new words. With this, how can I practice the existing words, because a lot of new ones come to them?

ChatGPT, describe a different famous person from any place and any time. Speak only in modern Greek. Use simple sentence structures, very basic vocabulary and A1 language competency. Do not use bullet points.
ChatGPT, Give me some smoothie recipes in basic Greek at the A1 competency level.
ChatGPT, describe youtube in very basic Greek without bullet points.
What prompts can I use to adjust the difficulty of the language you use?
ChatGPT
There are several prompts you can use to adjust the difficulty of the language I use:
- Competency level: You can specify the competency level you want me to use - A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, or C2 - to adjust the difficulty of the language I use.
- Vocabulary level: You can specify whether you want me to use basic, intermediate, or advanced vocabulary to adjust the difficulty of the language I use.
- Topic complexity: You can choose a simpler or more complex topic for me to discuss, which can also affect the difficulty of the language I use.
- Language format: You can specify whether you want me to use simple or complex sentence structures, or whether you want me to avoid using idiomatic expressions or complex grammar constructions.
By providing me with these prompts, I can adjust the language I use to meet your needs and help you learn and practice Greek at a level that is comfortable for you.

Thanks,
I asked for this and there were still many unknown words in the story written by ChatGPT:
“Using the words given above, please write a short story in English at A2 level. It is not necessary to use all the words and phrases.”
I asked for this and there were still many unknown words in the story written by ChatGPT:
That is your n+1 input level; the first time you have to expose yourself to new vocabulary, that’s how you pick words by osmosis. Anyways, you can always create a new set of stories by inputting these new words. However, in my own case, I do not worry too much about it. If they are important words, they will come up again in different texts I am reading (that is the beauty of LingQ; it tracks my already looked-up words). Otherwise, I can always create a new set of stories or dialogues for having more exposure to such words. ChatGPT is a flexible tool.
If you need more exposure to these words, you can create many stories and dialogues of the same words by prompting them in different scenarios (write a crime story/dialogue by using these words, write a horror/thriller story/dialogue by using these words, etc).

I also just tried it a minute ago. 37% of the words were new (generated from 100 LingQs). If you want to practice only those words, maybe you should train in the Vocabulary section with SRS?
Also, 37% new words is great, don’t you think? )))
I am still a super beginner and for me the mini stories here are more than enough. However, the potential unlimited source of stories generated by AI is exciting

Unless your language has very little beginner content, I would recommend using beginner content that has human audio (so you can re-listen to the lesson while doing your chores). Beginner content on LingQ will repeat the same, high frequency words you are trying to learn anyways. If you are studying English, there should be lots of beginner content written by humans with human audio. In other words, depending on your language in question, it may not be necessary to use ChatGPT to generate you short stories.

Yes, I study English. You are right that there are quite a lot of materials in English for beginners. I thought I could practice using ChatGPT, but this is not the case for the reasons mentioned. Then I’ll stick with the English-language educational materials.
Thanks everyone for your help.

It can be useful, yes, but when there is reading/listening material by native speakers at your level, I choose this over ChatGPT. At least as a beginner. ChatGPT is good to practise your writing though.
