I just tried having Google Gemini teach me and it was amazing!

I've been learning Italian for about 2 months using all the various methods: Babble, books, YouTube, etc. But tonight I tried something different. I went to Google Gemini (Google's AI chatbot) and said this "Can we have a discussion in Italian? I am a beginner spreaker of Italian, so can you correct my mistakes and teach me?" Wow, was I impressed!

It started off asking me about my dog, and during the conversation it corrected all of my mistakes and did an amazing job of explaining things. It even saw that I accidentally used a Portuguese word and mentioned something about the similarity. I'm super-impressed on how this went. Granted, it's AI, so I'm sure there are mistakes, but I'm definitely going to try using this more often.

All if its responses were in Italian, including the corrections, but it did such a good job of explaining it that I was able to understand 95% of it. I probably could have asked it to explain in both languages, but part of the learning experience was trying to understand what it was saying.
