Turn your Genki 1 vocab list into an Anki deck
Upload your chapter vocab, slides, notes or a photo of the textbook page. DeckOwl builds flashcards you can review with spaced repetition, and Plus lets you export them to Anki.
Why a custom Genki 1 deck beats a generic one
Shared Anki deck files for Genki 1 are easy to find, but they rarely match your instructor's chapter order or the words you keep missing. A deck built from your own material mirrors what you are actually asked to learn.
- Keep the kana reading on the card, not just the English meaning.
- Study one chapter at a time so new words stay grouped.
- Add a short example sentence for words with more than one meaning.
- Re-check the deck against your textbook before each exam.
Built from your vocab
Upload the Genki 1 word list, a chapter PDF, slides or a photo of the page, and get a card for each term.
Spaced repetition
Cards return at set intervals, so the words you miss come up more often than the ones you already know.
Anki export on Plus
The Plus plan exports your deck to Anki, so you can keep studying on desktop or mobile with the app you already use.
How it works
Add your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, slides, typed notes or photos of the Genki 1 vocab pages.
Generate the cards
Review the flashcards, remove any you do not need, and add readings or example sentences where useful.
Study or export
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export your deck to Anki on Plus.
Upload the chapter vocab lists, a photo of the textbook page or a class handout, and DeckOwl produces flashcards you can review in the browser. Spaced repetition then schedules reviews so vocabulary moves from recognition to recall.
For Japanese, check that each card shows the kanji, the kana reading and the English meaning, and keep the chapter tag so you can study one lesson at a time.

Frequently asked questions
How should I study Genki 1 vocab with flashcards?
Start by recalling the reading and meaning before flipping the card, then review new words daily in short sessions. Adding a sample sentence from the chapter helps the words stick in context.
Should Genki 1 flashcards include kana as well as kanji?
Yes, especially early on, because many words are easier to recognize from their kana reading first. Once you are comfortable, you can rely more on the kanji shape.
Can I export my Genki 1 deck to Anki?
Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included.
