Did I just get that song stuck in your head? 🎶 And did you think to yourself, how or why is the world so wonderful with CustomGPTs? Well, I’m so happy you’re here, taking a few minutes out of your day to dive deeper into this magical world with me. It really is a wonderful world when you see how these tools can save you time, spark new ideas, and make content creation easy for your future language lessons!
So, what is a CustomGPT?
It’s simply a version of ChatGPT that’s been customized to serve a specific role or complete a specific task—like having a well-trained personal assistant by your side! And the best part? With a free ChatGPT account, you can access these personal assistants without needing to build anything yourself.
Here are six CustomGPTs I’ve designed just for language teachers like you (click on any to explore!):

If you believe a new CustomGPT would assist you as a language teacher, please do reach out! I am always creating and designing based on what needs exist for our language teacher community.
And, exploring these CustomGPTs is just the beginning of what’s possible when we thoughtfully integrate AI into our teaching practice. If you’re feeling curious about how other language educators are using AI tools to save time, boost creativity, and support students in meaningful ways, you’re not alone. Next school year, a new community of passionate language teachers will be coming together through the AI Innovator Community for Language Educators, with a special kickoff event — the AI Summit for Language Educators on August 6th, 2025. It’s an event designed for collaboration, conversation, and real classroom application, and I’m excited to lead these incredible learning opportunities specifically for language educators. We will offer a digital swag bag for all attendees and have a concluding prize raffle. The best part is our summer learning event is donation-based, and we are raising money to help support students in public education! I can’t wait to learn, grow, and S.O.A.R with these new possibilities, together!
