Recently, I've been posting on a certain business-oriented SNS in both English and Japanese.

While ChatGPT can easily translate to English, I sometimes feel like my original intent might not come across perfectly. Also, to maintain my English skills, I follow this slightly more involved approach:

1. First, I draft the text in Japanese.
2. Based on the Japanese draft, I create the English version.
3. I ask ChatGPT: "I'm planning to post the following English text on SNS. Please check the grammar and expressions, and revise them as appropriate. Also, explain the reasons for each revision."
4. I post the revised English text.

ChatGPT can be used this way too, so give it a try!
