This is part 1 of 2. Antonello Zanini from Italy is quite an inspiration to me. He is a software engineer and technical writer and is a succesful writer on Medium.  Spreading knowledge through writing is his mission Daniel and Antonello discuss the importance of building a writing habit in order to improve your English writing skills (and other skills as well). Spending a lot of hours writing is not necessary to become good at it, but rather consistency and daily practice are key.    Antonello shares his experience using ChatGPT as a language learning tool to replace Italki, which he feels has become more focused on selling courses and buying hours with teachers. He wrote his daily notes on ChatGPT and asked for feedback, finding that the responses are similar to what he would receive from a human.
