Hey! I'm Samir, a Supply Chain Data Scientist from Paris who spent six years in China studying and working while struggling to learn Mandarin.
I know the challenges of mastering a complex language like Chinese and my greatest support was flash cards. Therefore, I designed this workflow to support fellow Mandarin learners by automating flashcard creation using n8n, so they can focus more on learning and less on manual data entry.
This workflow template is designed for language learners and educators who want to automate the creation of flashcards for Mandarin (or any other language) using Google Translate API, an AI agent for phonetic transcription and generating an illustrative sentence and a free image retrieval API.
If you use the open-source application Anki, this workflow will help you automatically generate personalized study materials.
Let us imagine you want to learn how to say the word Contract in Mandarin.
The workflow will automatically
All these fields are automatically recorded in a Google Sheet, making it easy to import into Anki and generate flashcards instantly
This workflow can be used with the free tier plans of the services used. It does not require any advanced programming skills.
Follow the sticky notes to set up the parameters inside each node and get ready to pump your learning skills.
I have detailed the steps in a short tutorial 👇
