The First 15 Minutes

There's that show The First 48 Hours where they say if detectives can't find a suspect in the first 48 hours, the chances of them ever finding the suspect goes way down.

I've had this idea that if I'm not expressing thoughts and conversing in the first (insert amount of time), the chances of ever conversing goes way down.

With that in mind, this video demonstrates one way to spend the first 15 minutes: asking ChatGPT to generate a question, and then breaking that question down into 'buttons' that let you 'play' the language like a keyboard.

The language I'm using to demonstrate the concept is Bosnian which was a random request from a viewer, and works well because I didn't know anything about Bosnian.

The idea here is that even if you're past your first "48 hours" in Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, etc., it's not too late to start your first 48 hours over again approaching the language this way.

The PDF version of the Bosnian 'control panel' is downloadable in this post to the right of the video.
