Why build your own Core 2000 deck instead of downloading one

A ready-made Japanese Core 2000 Anki deck is a convenient starting point, but it only covers the words its author chose, with readings and example sentences that may not match your textbook or course. DeckOwl works from the material you already have, so the cards follow your own list.

  • Cards built from your own Core 2000 pages or notes
  • Spaced repetition scheduling in the browser on the free plan
  • Export to Anki on Plus, plus PDF, DOCX, and CSV
  • Photos of printed pages read with text recognition
Example Japanese vocabulary flashcards from Core 2000 level words
水みず (mizu), water
食べるたべる (taberu), to eat
大きいおおきい (ookii), big
学校がっこう (gakkou), school
友達ともだち (tomodachi), friend

Your own word lists

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes, or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition

Cards are scheduled for review so Core 2000 words come back just before you are likely to forget them.

Anki export

The Plus plan exports to Anki, plus PDF, DOCX, and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser.

How it works

Upload your list

Add a PDF, slide deck, notes, or a photo of your Core 2000 pages.

Generate cards

DeckOwl builds flashcards from the material you provided, with the term on the front and the answer on the back.

Study or export

Review in the browser on the free plan, or export the deck to Anki on Plus.

Upload the PDF or slides from class, or photograph a page of your study sheet. The generator reads the text and writes cards from it. Spaced repetition brings missed cards back sooner, which helps a long list like the 2000 core words stay manageable.

Frequently asked questions

How should I split 2000 Japanese words into study sessions?

Work in batches of 20 to 50 new cards a day so reviews do not pile up. Spaced repetition handles the timing, so you mainly need to keep your daily new-card count steady.

Should I learn kanji readings or just the kana for Core 2000 words?

Learn the kana reading along with the kanji, since many words have more than one reading and context decides which applies. Add the meaning and one example sentence to each card to make it stick.

Can I export my cards to Anki?

Yes, with the Plus plan, which also includes PDF, DOCX, and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Does DeckOwl need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
