Build an AI Language Tutor Bot for 24/7 Practice

Create your 24/7 personal language tutor on Telegram that uses GPT-4o to turn your Google Sheets vocabulary lists into interactive multiple-choice quizzes.

Workflow Overview

What is this?: This workflow creates a personal AI language tutor that lives inside Telegram. It automatically reads a vocabulary list you provide in a Google Sheet, then uses an AI agent to generate interactive multiple-choice questions. The bot engages you in a continuous quiz, helping you master new words through active practice.
What problem does it solve?: Struggling to find time for consistent language practice or tired of manually creating flashcards? This automation eliminates the friction of studying by providing an always-on, engaging tutor right on your phone, turning passive learning into an active conversation.
What will you get?: This tool automates the creation of interactive vocabulary quizzes, available 24/7, and provides instant, corrective feedback to accelerate your learning. It transforms any simple Google Sheet word list into an endless practice session, allowing you to create a personal tutor for any language.

Apps Included

How to Use

Prerequisites

An active n8n instance.

An OpenAI API key.

A Telegram Bot token.

A Google account with Google Sheets and Google Drive API access enabled (OAuth2 credentials).

A Google Sheet with two columns: one for the source language words (e.g., 'initialText') and one for the target language words (e.g., 'translatedText').

Setup Steps

Configure Telegram Bot

Add your Telegram Bot credentials to the 'Telegram Trigger' node to receive messages. Then, add the same credentials to the 'Answer to the User' node to allow the bot to send replies.

Connect Google Sheets

Authorize your Google account in the 'Retrive Vocabulary' node using OAuth2 credentials. Select the Google Sheet file containing your vocabulary list and specify the exact sheet name.

Set Up AI Model

Add your OpenAI API key to the 'OpenAI Chat Model' node's credentials. You can keep the default model (gpt-4o-mini) or choose another compatible model from the list.

Customize the AI Tutor

Modify the system prompt in the 'AI Agent' node. Here you can change the tutor's personality, rules for generating questions, or the language it is teaching.

Pro Tips

This workflow is language-agnostic. To learn a different language, simply update your Google Sheet and change 'Chinese' to your target language in the 'AI Agent' node's system prompt.

For a more robust experience, consider adding an error-handling branch. This can notify you via a separate channel if the OpenAI API or Google Sheets API ever fails to respond.
