What they did
1) Enable microphone and sound access in ChatGPT. Choose one restaurant, obtain its menu, and keep a notebook. Break the visit into getting a table, ordering, asking recommendations and paying. 2) Write down phrases you already know, then upload the menu and request useful vocabulary and a short beginner dialogue. Correct the scenario: the author specified no reservation, full meals and payment by card. Add useful phrases to your notes. 3) Enter voice mode and ask ChatGPT to play the waiter in Italian. Work through the visit, asking it to slow down or translate when needed. 4) Inspect the conversation transcript for difficult phrases or incomplete answers, update your notes and repeat the scenario until you can complete the task.
How it went
The author reported managing meals, hotel check-in and bus tickets after starting Italian study three weeks before traveling.
Worth knowing
She found automated feedback unreliable and recommended reviewing the transcript yourself.
