How to Turn Your Lesson Notes into Personalised AI Language Exercises
Do you have detailed notes from your language lessons but only read them once? You might be missing a big opportunity. With AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Mistral, you can turn your notes into unlimited practice exercises in just a few minutes.
Why AI Practice Works So Well
Traditional textbooks often use a one-size-fits-all approach. They introduce grammar you haven’t learned yet or include vocabulary you’re not ready for.
AI practice is different because it uses only your lesson notes, so every exercise builds on what you’ve already studied.
The benefits are clear:
✅ Exercises matched to your level
✅ Vocabulary taken from your actual lessons
✅ Grammar reinforced with familiar examples
✅ Endless variations to keep practice fresh
✅ On-demand explanations whenever you need them
Studies suggest that personalised learning helps students remember and use new material more effectively than generic exercises. This is why practice based on your own lesson notes feels more relevant and motivating.
Your Four Step Guide
Step 1: Get Your Notes Ready
After each lesson, copy your notes. Try to include:
New vocabulary with meanings
Grammar rules you covered
Example sentences and dialogues
Any corrections made during the lesson
Step 2: Choose an AI Tool
Several free tools work well for this:
ChatGPT for grammar explanations and practice
Claude for vocabulary exercises in context, makes interesting stories, good at narrating
Gemini for creative formats
Mistral for strong results with European languages
Step 3: Use These Proven Prompts
Copy your notes into the AI and try one of these:
📚 For vocabulary practice:
"Make vocabulary exercises from my lesson notes. Include multiple choice, fill in the blank, and matching. Use [your level: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1]. Include an answer key. Notes: [paste notes]"
✏️ For grammar practice:
"Create grammar exercises from my lesson notes. Include gap fill, sentence transformation, and error correction. Use [your level] examples. Include answers. Notes: [paste notes]"
🎯 For mixed practice:
"Make a quiz from my lesson notes with vocabulary and grammar questions. Level: [your level]. Notes: [paste notes]"
🎮 For games:
"Turn my lesson notes into a crossword or word game for [your level] learners. Notes: [paste notes]"
Step 4: Practise and Save
Once you’ve got your exercises:
Complete them the same day while the material is fresh
Save them for your weekly review
Ask for more variations when you need extra practice
Tips for Better Results
Make your requests specific:
Say “B1 German learner” instead of “intermediate”
Ask for “10 questions” instead of “some questions”
Always request answer keys
Adjust the difficulty easily:
Too easy? Say “Make these exercises harder”
Too difficult? Say “Simplify these and add hints”
Want variety? Say “Create five different formats with the same vocabulary”
Common Questions
Which AI tool should I start with?
ChatGPT or Claude are both excellent choices. They’re free and work very well for language practice.
How often should I create exercises?
It works best to create them after each lesson, then review them weekly. This keeps the material fresh while building long-term memory.
Are AI exercises always accurate?
They’re usually very good, but check grammar rules with your teacher if you’re unsure.
How can I organise my exercises?
Use Google Docs or a notes app. Sort them by topic, level, or date to build your own practice library.
