In this video, I’ll show you exactly how to combine ChatGPT (or any AI chatbot) with Anki (digital flashcards) to improve your English step by step.
STEP-BY-STEP METHOD
*Step 1: Create Your Sentences with ChatGPT
- Open ChatGPT (or Gemini, Claude, Grok, etc.).
- Ask it to make sentences based on a topic you struggle with (e.g. verb patterns).
- Get the sentences in English AND your native language side by side.
- Export them into a CSV file (or copy into Google Sheets/Excel).
The key here is to create sentences specific to your life and your learning.
*Step 2: Import Sentences into Anki
- Open Anki and click Import File.
- Choose your CSV file → set field one as the front (English) and field two as the back (translation).
- This gives you digital flashcards you can study every day.
*Step 3: Add Audio (Optional but Powerful)
- Install the AwesomeTTS plugin.
- Generate audio for each card so you can hear the sentences spoken out loud.
- This trains listening + pronunciation while you review.
*Step 4: Study with Spaced Repetition
- Open your deck and review a few cards each day.
- Repeat sentences out loud, write them down, and listen carefully.
- The software automatically shows you sentences again at the right time, so you’ll never forget them.
*Step 5: Build Fluency Naturally
As you practice, you’ll notice grammar and patterns (like gerunds/infinitives) coming out naturally. Expand your sentences over time with different tenses and variations. Keep repeating until speaking feels automatic.
Why This Works
- Trains all four skills: listening, reading, writing, speaking.
- Builds real-life English without memorizing grammar rules.
- Uses repetition so you don’t waste time relearning.
- Works for ANY level and ANY native language.
