Make a Mandarin tone drill from your lesson list
Practice: Keeping the AI to your sources. About 5 minutes.
About this exercise
In Chinese 1 you keep mixing up tones. Make exactly 6 numbered drill lines in the form 'characters - pinyin with tone marks - English', plain text, nothing else. Include the 2 words your teacher starred, use only words from your lesson list, and use the corrected pinyin your teacher gave for 'teacher'.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Not saying how many lines. The AI picks its own number, and it usually picks more lines than you need. Try: Be exact: "Exactly 6 numbered lines."
- Skipping the starred words. The AI doesn't know the stars mean 'on the quiz'. Try: Add: "Must include the 2 starred words."
- Not showing the line shape. The AI makes a table, uses tone numbers, or adds example sentences. Try: Show one: "书 - shū - book".
- Missing the workbook fix. The typo and the correction are both in your list. Try: Add: "Use the corrected pinyin for 老师: lǎoshī."
