At the beginning of my language time today I was feeling a bit tired and wanted to do something light and enjoyable, so I asked ChatGPT to quiz me.

My prompt

I wrote this prompt:

I want you to give me a 10 question quiz from Greek to English. To start each quiz I will tell you the subject. Give me 5 questions at a time. Tell me my score at the end and give me feedback.

ChatGPT repeated my instructions and then asked me to choose a category for the first quiz.

It suggested examples such as everyday nouns, food, family, verbs, adjectives, or Bible words.

I decided to start with body parts.

ChatGPT immediately generated a short quiz.

Greek → English quiz
Subject: Body
Questions 1–5 of 10

Translate these from Greek to English:

  • το κεφάλι
  • το χέρι
  • το πόδι
  • το μάτι
  • το στόμα

I typed in my answers. I got two of them wrong.

Then ChatGPT gave me the next five questions. I answered the two I knew and wrote question marks for the others.

At the end it told me my score — 5/10 — and gave a little encouragement along with a few suggestions for improvement. Then it asked me to choose another category.

Next I chose clothes. I did much better on that quiz and scored 9/10. ChatGPT had chosen several words that I had already seen in Duolingo.

After that I kept going with different categories:

  • colours
  • numbers
  • household items
  • nature
  • birds
  • animals that could be pets
  • wild animals
  • adjectives
  • things that are usually brown
  • abstract nouns
  • things that can be opened

The quizzes were simple, but they were exactly what I needed. It was a relaxed way to review vocabulary and pick up a few new words without feeling like I was doing heavy study. It was the perfect activity to start with on a day when I was feeling tired.

Activities like this are another example of how AI tools can easily be incorporated into an eclectic language learning routine.
