Getting ChatGPT and Gemini
DUTCH CONVERSATION PRACTICE
Choose one tool. Start simply.
You do not need both apps. Choose ChatGPT or Gemini, open a chat and try one short Dutch exchange. A web browser is enough for text practice.
Open the official service
Gemini
From Google. Open the website and sign in with an eligible Google account. On a phone or tablet, follow Google’s app instructions for Android or iPhone/iPad.
Official Gemini app instructions →You can begin with the access available to your account. A paid subscription is not a course requirement; features and limits vary.
Get ready in three steps
Open and sign in
Use one of the official links above. Follow the instructions shown for your account instead of looking for a particular button colour.
Try a typed message
Start a new chat. Send the short instruction below and answer the first question in Dutch.
Try speaking
When a voice feature is available, open it and allow microphone access. Say the same instruction aloud.
I am learning Dutch at A1 level. Greet me in simple Dutch and ask my name. Ask only one question, then wait for my answer.
Typing, dictation or a voice conversation?
Type
Write your message, send it and read the answer. This is useful when you want time to think.
Dictate
Speak a message instead of typing. Check the recognised words before sending. Dictation is not the same as an ongoing spoken conversation.
Talk back and forth
Use ChatGPT Voice or Gemini Live to hear spoken replies and take turns. Ask for slow, short Dutch sentences.
ChatGPT offers voice in supported apps and on the web. Gemini Live is accessed through the supported Gemini mobile app; it is currently not available in the Gemini web app. Check the official help if your screen differs.
If something does not work
I cannot find voice or Live
Check the official voice guide, update your app and confirm that your account and device support the feature. You can do the same course exercise by typing.
The microphone does not work
Check microphone permission for the app or browser and make sure the microphone is not muted. Try again in a quiet place.
I have reached a usage limit
Follow the message in the service. Return later or continue the exercise with a partner or by writing your answers.
Ready for the next lesson?
Make sure you can send a message and understand a short reply. The next lesson helps you create your own conversation practice.
