Context

I’m a Supply Chain Data Scientist from Paris who lived six years in China β€” and yes, learning Mandarin while working full-time was tough.

Learning Mandarin as an adult can be very difficult, especially if you have a full-time job. With AI, you can now have a Chinese tutor available 24/7 on your phone β€” no excuses left!

It is with this spirit that I designed this workflow to support fellow Mandarin learners with a Chinese Teacher powered by GPT-4o.

Who is this template for?

This workflow template is designed for language learners and educators who need support to learn a vocabulary list in Mandarin (or any other language) using Open AI GPT-4o, an AI agent and a Telegram Bot to interact with users.

For the vocabulary list, you can use another template shared in my profile πŸ‰‘ Generate Anki Flash Cards for Language Learning with Google Translate and GPT-4o to generate the Google Sheet needed in this workflow.

How does it work?

The workflow loads a vocabulary list stored in your Google Sheet.

The bot will:

  1. πŸ“₯ Load your vocabulary list from Google Sheets
  2. 🧠 Generate multiple-choice questions with GPT-4o
  3. βœ… Evaluate your answer and give instant feedback
  4. πŸ” Loop to the next word until you're fluent

These fields will be automatically added to a Google Sheet, ready to be loaded in Anki to create flash cards.

What do I need to start?

This workflow does not require any advanced programming skills.

Prerequisite
  • A Google Drive Account with a folder including a Google Sheet filled with the vocabulary list you want to learn.
  • API Credentials: Open AI API for the chat model, Google Drive API and Google Sheets API activated with OAuth2 credentials
  • A Telegram Bot with its token recorded in the Telegram Node Credentials
  • A Google Sheet with two columns (initialText: words in your own language, translatedText: words in the target language)

Next Steps

Follow the sticky notes to set up the parameters inside each node and get ready to pump your learning skills.
