Here are the 10 prompts you can use:
1. Outcome-First Language Plan
“My goal is to use this language confidently for [travel/work/daily conversations]. Create a 30-day learning plan focused on speaking, listening, and understanding real conversations. Avoid streaks, games, or textbook-style lessons. Prioritize practical use only.”
“Teach me the most commonly used words and phrases in this language for [specific context]. Include pronunciation guidance, how natives shorten or alter them in speech, and one natural, real-life example for each.”
“Help me build simple, natural sentences that people actually use in daily life. Start with short structures and gradually expand them. Explain the word order and meaning in clear, non-technical language.”
“Role-play a realistic conversation for [situation]. Speak naturally, pause after each message so I can respond, and correct my mistakes gently while explaining what sounds unnatural.”
“Show how the same idea is expressed casually, neutrally, and formally in this language. Explain when and why a native speaker would choose each version in real life.”
“List the most common mistakes learners make in everyday conversations in this language. Show incorrect examples, corrected versions, and explain why the mistake happens.”
“Help me stop translating from English. Explain how a native speaker would naturally think and structure this idea in the language instead.”
“Explain how to pronounce these words using mouth position, rhythm, stress, and pacing, as if teaching someone without access to audio.”
“Teach everyday phrases natives use in real conversations for [context]. Include informal shortcuts, filler words, and variations people say in fast speech.”
“Explain this grammar concept using plain language only. Avoid technical terms and focus on how people actually use it when speaking.”

Aller not Être
Before we go into discussing “how are you“, we first have to mention the right verb.
In English, we say “how are you”, but in French they say “how goes it”.
In old English this was more prelevant.
So, before we proceed, just remember the following:
You have to use aller (to go), if you want to ask “how are you” in French.
Comment ça va ?
How are you?
Ça va ?
How are you?
