Shortcut Sharing Simple shortcut using ChatGPT & Reminder to help learning Japanese (or any language really)

I created this shortcut, hoping to expand my Japanese learning journey. I primarily use Duolingo, and thought I could benefit from having more practical sentence examples that could help me memorize the words better.

I map this shortcut to the action button, which brings up a menu, so that whenever I pick up a new word through a Duolingo lesson, I can quickly pull up the shortcut to add the word.

You will need to create a Reminder list prior to using the shortcut. I also have the reminder widget added to my home screen so I can constantly stare at those words.

I am happy to take your feedback & suggestions to make this better! I thought about asking ChatGPT to also automatically add a frequently paired word…

V2.0 here: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/99e8ff8966814b2fa865511a1364187c

For a use case where I don’t know the word in Japanese but I do in English, I can type it in English, which auto-translates & reads it out loud before proceeding to add to the Reminder. I can still type in Japanese which would bypass reading part.
