Does AI really help you prep for the CELPIP?
|
Hello Reader, This week I read a post on LinkedIn that got me thinking about AI, and this week's podcast is based on what I've been thinking about. We hear things like, "AI is coming for this or that position" which means it's going to replace someone's job. Maybe you've heard stuff like that too? And I sometimes find myself wondering the same about the work I do. Could I get replaced? Here's the thing: AI IS having a deep impact in our world. It IS taking jobs away. And it's a foolish response to bury our heads in the sand and pretend it's not happening. I'm thinking about Kodak, the film company. Remember them? In North America during the 1990's they controlled around 90% of the U.S. film market, but by 2012 they were forced to file for bankruptcy. There are many reasons why this happened, but one of them is refusing to adapt quickly enough to digital photography, even though they actually helped spark it! I think we are in one of those spaces. It's tempting to resist the rapid change. Ignore it. Put our head down, and then end up getting steamrolled with it like what happened to Kodak. But should we go headlong into using AI and let it take us where it goes? In today's podcast, I'm sharing some of my initial research into using AI. And spoiler: Yes. I think you should. But never as a replacement for human interaction if you really want your English skills to get better. I hope you enjoy it. Over to you: Are you using AI to help you prepare for the CELPIP or practice your English?
Have a great week, Aaron |

Hello Reader, A few months ago I was listening to a client describing the image you see below - a crowded playground on a bright spring day. They loved the spot in the picture where a woman is sitting with her dog enjoying the sun, so they started talking all about them because they loved dogs! The busy playground But I was totally lost! Instead of listening to what my client was saying, I was lost in the picture trying to figure out where the dog was. There's a dog in here? I couldn't find...
Hello Reader, There really is nothing better than getting into a conversation with a small group of people. It is one of THE best ways around to help you get ready for the CELPIP and build your English skills in general at the same time. Yesterday at work, for example, there were about 6 people sitting at the same table where I was, enjoying a hot coffee and chatting about everything from the census that is going on in Canada right now, the weather (because always something to talk about...
