The prompt that gets copied
I'm learning [TARGET LANGUAGE, e.g. Portuguese] at a [YOUR LEVEL, e.g. beginner] level. Here are some details about my life: [DETAILS ABOUT YOUR LIFE, e.g. I walk my dog every morning]. Write a mini story of about eight sentences in my target language about this, using simple words that repeat. Then retell the same story in the first person, as if I'm telling it, and once more in the past tense. After that, ask me 10 circling questions about the story, one at a time: easy yes or no questions, either-or questions, and simple who, where and when questions. Wait for my answer each time and gently correct it. End with a list of the 10 new words from today with their English meanings.
AI writes a tiny story about your real life in the language you're learning, retells it two more ways and asks simple circling questions. You hear the same words again and again.
