Comments on the Results:
Although ChatGPT gave many good learning methods and suggestions, and also gave the URLs of two learning websites, when I asked about other websites with online resources mentioned above, it was unable to provide them to me. This affects my willingness to use ChatGPT.
Good try, Betty. Some of the suggestions by ChatGPT are quite good. You mention 'listening' and 'vocabulary' this time; perhaps you could narrow it down a bit by focusing on one topic at a time, and see if you would like it better.
