Using Anki all the way to A2 is the way to go?

Hello! I's just like to get more opinions on this. When I started learning German, I grabbed a graded A1 book, and did sentence mining to every chapter. I turned every sentence into flashcards with Anki.

The cards were of two types:

First type:

FRONT: Sentence in the target language

BACK: Translation

Second type:

FRONT: Translation

BACK: Sentence in the target language

While using the flashcards, I would also have Chat GPT, google translate and the notepad open so, whenever I came across a card of the second type, I could write what I thought was the original target language sentence, as well as listen how it sounds (with google translate) and get a detail explanation from Chat GPT.

I later would have some files with tables about certain grammar rules (taken from Chat GPT). Things like: personal pronouns in every case, adjectives, prepositions, etc.

Is this a good technique to start learning a language? What do you think?

I do this because I can't hire a teacher or go into a language school.
