$DUOL going way deeper.
ChatGPT teaches more Spanish in 7 days than Duolingo does in 2 years.
No streaks. No cartoon owls.
Just real-world fluency—faster than I thought possible.
6-prompt system I used:
1. “Act like a Spanish tutor. Teach me how to hold a 2-minute conversation about daily life—step by step.”
→ I wasn’t memorizing. I was talking.
2. “Translate this sentence into Spanish, quiz me on it 3 ways, and explain my mistakes.”
→ Real correction. Not gold stars.
3. “Simulate a conversation at a coffee shop in Mexico. Push me to respond using casual, natural slang.”
→ I didn’t just learn words. I learned how locals talk.
4. “Correct my writing like a language teacher. Show me what’s wrong, why, and how to fix it.”
→ Feedback I could actually use.
5. “Give me 10 phrases used every day in Latin America that sound modern—not textbook.”
→ Fluent doesn’t mean formal.
6. “Build a 15-minute daily Spanish routine that mixes listening, speaking, and writing.”
→ No burnout. Just consistent wins.
