Not black friday, but Wanikani lifetime usually goes $100 cheaper before Christmas
Not a Black Friday deal, but I’ve recently discovered just how incredibly useful ChatGPT-4 can be for Japanese learning. Using the custom GPT models and GPT-4 Turbo, you can have your own personal teacher that asks whatever questions you want and adjusts their difficulty to your level of competency. I’ve been doing reading and translation exercises, and it’s been extremely good at giving me useful feedback, pointing out my mistakes or inaccuracies and what I should have done differently, and helping me when I struggle with grammar points.
As with all AI, it can hallucinate (i.e. invent stuff), but so far, I’ve only seen it do this once when I told it to simulate furigana using parantheses, and it showed the wrong word. But that was the only time.
I used to like Duolingo because it allowed me to actually type answers instead of picking from a list of options, but its flaws quickly became apparent. ChatGPT is so, so much better at this.
Keep in mind that this is the paid version. The free version is nowhere near as good.
