Why build your own German deck

Ready-made German decks cover common words, but they rarely match the chapter your class is on. A German Anki deck built from your own material keeps the vocabulary, verb forms and cases you actually need.

Cards built from your lecture slides and textbook chapters
Articles and plurals included on noun cards
Separable verbs and case endings tracked as their own review sets
Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV on the Plus plan

Example German vocabulary and grammar flashcards

die Katzethe cat (feminine, plural die Katzen)

Wie spät ist es?What time is it?

Ich habe keine Zeit.I don't have time.

Which article replaces der for a masculine direct object in the accusative?den, as in Ich sehe den Mann (I see the man). The direct object takes the accusative case.

Where does the prefix go in aufstehen in a main clause?At the end of the clause, as in Ich stehe um sieben auf (I get up at seven).

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page, and the flashcards come from the chapters you are studying.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer intervals so review time goes where it helps.

Export to Anki

On the Plus plan, take your German deck into Anki, or export to PDF, DOCX or CSV for offline practice.

How it works

Upload your German material

Add a PDF, slides, notes or a picture of a page. Text recognition reads photos as well as typed files.

Generate and review cards

Get flashcards with the vocabulary, articles and verb forms from your source. Edit any card before you study.

Study every day or export

Practice in the browser with spaced repetition, or move the deck into Anki on Plus.

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl turns it into flashcards. The free plan lets you study in the browser, and Plus adds export to Anki.

For German, practice noun genders, case endings and separable verbs as separate sets, since those are where learners tend to slip. A short daily session works better than one long cram before a test.

Frequently asked questions

How many new German words should I add to an Anki deck each day?

A small daily batch, such as 10 to 20 new cards, is usually easier to keep up with than a large weekly one. Adjust the number to what you can review consistently.

What is the best way to learn German noun genders with flashcards?

Put the article on the front with the noun, such as die Katze, and test the gender before the translation. Grouping nouns by ending or topic makes the patterns easier to spot.

Can I export my German flashcards to Anki?

Yes, the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month includes export to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a discount for students learning German?

Students get 40% off with a school email, and you can start without a credit card.
