Michael BurkhardtI have studied four different (non-English) languages at various points but I never got proficient at any. Some are more fun and some are more useful. I’d really like to lean into one. Should I favor the fun or the useful? <a href="https://social.lol/tags/LanguageStudy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LanguageStudy</a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/ForeignLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ForeignLanguage</a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Language</a>

Both <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ForeignLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ForeignLanguage</a> films that will require my attention in order to read the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/subtitles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subtitles</a>.Tried finding a <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/streaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streaming</a> source for them but couldn't find any.

The best time/location for me to see it is in <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/WalnutCreek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WalnutCreek</a> on Feb 25th which will still be before Oscar show this year on March 2nd.So, I should be able to see all 10 films nominated for Best Picture by then.🙂"I'm Still Here" has gotten wide praise from the critics but "Emilia Perez" has been almost universally panned & I hope it's not as "bad" as they say it is.

RozzychanThe department’s National Security Education Program defunded Chinese flagship programs at Brigham Young University, San Francisco State University, and the Universities of Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington. That leaves Arizona State University as the only government-funded intensive Chinese program in the west US.

David BolesNavigating the difficult task of <a href="https://bolesblogs.com/2023/08/14/learning-italian-lifetime-immersion-style/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">teaching oneself Italian</a> through the marvels of AI voice dubbing is a 21st-century twist on the ancient wisdom of “Physician, heal thyself.” That age-old saying, ripped from the heart of biblical narratives, pushes us towards self-reflection and repair before we set out to fix or guide others. When we apply this idea to the adventure of self-learning Italian — or any foreign language! — by using our own voices echoed back to us in Italian through AI wizardry, welp, it’s like we’re living in a high-tech remix of that proverb.Hey, this whole DIY Italian-learning gig, powered by AI, is a masterclass in “Student, Teach Thyself.” You start out wanting to bridge the gap between your native English and Italian, relying on smart tech to mirror your words back in a language that’s foreign to your ears. It’s a fascinating process, really. You’re both teacher and student, the healer and the healed, using your own spoken words as the building blocks for a new linguistic edifice.Think of it as tackling your own linguistic shortcomings head-on. You’re in the driver’s seat, steering through the intricacies of Italian grammar and pronunciation with nothing but your determination and a bit of AI magic. It’s a testament to human resilience and adaptability, sure, but it’s also a bit of a solitary quest — a story that requires you to face your own “linguistic ailments” without a traditional guide or classroom setting.Drawing a parallel between “Physician, heal thyself” and “Student, Teach Thyself” opens up a whole new perspective on self-improvement and education. The original saying throws a spotlight on the irony of healing, or teaching, others without first addressing our own flaws or gaps in knowledge. Similarly, jumping into learning Italian with AI as your only companion requires a leap of faith — a belief in your own ability to overcome language barriers through self-directed study.While the biblical proverb might have hinted at the skepticism Jesus faced from his hometown crowd, our modern-day language-learning scenario celebrates the individual’s initiative to tackle personal challenges head-on. There’s a bit of skepticism here too, though. It’s about trusting not just in yourself but in the power of technology to faithfully translate your intentions and nuances into another language.This blend of self-teaching Italian mirrors the broader, more universal pathway of self-improvement. It’s not just about acquiring a new language; it’s about embracing the challenge of learning in an unorthodox way, pushing the boundaries of traditional education, and discovering the joys and frustrations of relying on oneself (and one’s chosen tech tools) for growth.Here’s how I discovered to use my own content, in my own voice, to spin myself around and become my own Italian tutor!We start with the basics. A podcast file recorded by me in English:Human-AI Intersection: Creativity, Education, and the Future of LearningORIGINAL ENGLISH: The original Human Meme podcast file in English. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/davidboles" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">David Boles</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/davidboles/human-meme-ai-intersection" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Human Meme: Ai Intersection</a> And, here’s the PR blurp for that episode: “Let’s start with history. Art, in all its forms, has been a cornerstone of human civilization. From the cave paintings of Lascaux to the masterpieces of the Renaissance, from the haunting melodies of ancient folk songs to the boundary-pushing soundscapes of modern music, art has been our companion through every stage of human development. It’s how we’ve expressed our deepest emotions, our greatest aspirations, and our most profound questions.”So, now, with the finished podcast episode in hand, I upload the file to my dubbing site, and I  choose Italian as the language to “dub” (or translate) my English podcast into — and the rest becomes AI magic, as MY OWN DUBBED VOICE now translates into one of 29 languages I can choose from, and yes, that includes video dubbing as well! Amazingly, all these dubbed translations use my own AI voice. Wild!ITALIAN: Here is the Italian voice dub of the podcast. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/davidboles" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">David Boles</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/davidboles/human-meme-ai-intersection-italian-translation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Human Meme AI Intersection: Italian Translation</a> GERMAN: Why stop at just Italian!

RUSSIAN: TEACHING THYSELF ITALIAN: Now we get into the mirror within a mirror within a mirror, an endless reflection of one echoing voice in the wilderness. This is where the river meets the sea, and the gravel bends the road in self-learning AI learning magic. I use LingQ as <a href="https://bolesblogs.com/2023/08/14/learning-italian-lifetime-immersion-style/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">one of my Italian learning</a> sites. Using my dubbed from English into an Italian podcast audio file — WITH MY OWN DUBBED VOICE! I was able to upload the Italian translation of my Human Meme podcast as an “imported tutorial” — thus <a href="https://www.lingq.com/en/learn/it/web/reader/27751224" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">creating my own tutorial on the LingQ website to teach myself with my own content</a>!Here’s how my imported podcast tutorial looks on Ling! — of, to, and for myself! — teaching thyself:Teaching yourself Italian with the help of AI isn’t just an exercise in language acquisition; it’s a modern-day enactment of healing and improving oneself, wrapped in the bizarro world of an inverted digital cloak of voice dubbing technology. It’s really just all about being bold enough to say to your own self, “Student, teach thyself,” with the same conviction that once inspired, “Physician, heal thyself.” And in this conundrum, every mispronounced word, every successfully translated sentence, becomes a step towards not just learning a new language, but also discovering more about oneself and the endless possibilities of self-directed learning in the echo of your own voice!<a href="https://bolesblogs.com/2024/02/05/student-teach-thyself-my-dubbed-podcast-in-italian/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bolesblogs.com/2024/02/05/student-teach-thyself-my-dubbed-podcast-in-italian/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/11-labs/" target="_blank">#11Labs</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/ai/" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/ai-voice/" target="_blank">#aiVoice</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/cccccc/" target="_blank">#cccccc</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/chinese/" target="_blank">#chinese</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/communication/" target="_blank">#communication</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/dubbing/" target="_blank">#dubbing</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/foreign-language/" target="_blank">#foreignLanguage</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/german/" target="_blank">#german</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/human-meme/" target="_blank">#humanMeme</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/italian/" target="_blank">#italian</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/learning/" target="_blank">#learning</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/lingq/" target="_blank">#lingq</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/performance/" target="_blank">#performance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/podcast/" target="_blank">#Podcast</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/russian/" target="_blank">#russian</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/soundcloud/" target="_blank">#soundcloud</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/spanish/" target="_blank">#spanish</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/translation/" target="_blank">#translation</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bolesblogs.com/tag/youtube/" target="_blank">#youtube</a>
