🧑‍🎓 AI Powered Language Teacher with Telegram, Google Sheet and GPT-4o

Tags: Productivity, Education, Learning, Language

Context

I’m a Supply Chain Data Scientist from Paris who lived six years in China — 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 — 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 🉑 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. 📥 Load your vocabulary list from Google Sheets
2. 🧠 Generate multiple-choice questions with GPT-4o
3. ✅ Evaluate your answer and give instant feedback
4. 🔁 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.
