Why build your own N5 deck

Prebuilt lists are a common starting point, but a JLPT N5 Anki deck works better when it reflects the exact vocabulary and grammar in the course or book you are using.

  • Upload textbook photos, slides or notes in one place.
  • Include kana, meaning and example sentence on each card.
  • Study in the browser on the free plan, with 3 generations per month.
  • Export to Anki with Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month.

Works from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards are scheduled so you review the ones you are about to forget, instead of rereading the whole list.

Export to Anki

Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so your deck can move into the Anki app.

How it works

Upload your N5 material

Add your textbook pages, vocabulary lists or class slides. No credit card is needed to start.

Review the generated cards

Check the vocabulary and grammar cards, then study them in the browser on the free plan.

Export your deck

Upgrade to Plus to export the set to Anki and keep reviewing with its scheduling.

Start with the sections your teacher or textbook covers. Include kana readings, the meaning, and a short example sentence on the back of each card so you remember how the word is used.

Review new cards daily and keep the sessions short. Spaced repetition handles the timing, so your effort goes into the cards you are still missing.

Frequently asked questions

Which N5 vocabulary should I memorize first?

Start with the words your course or textbook introduces in its first units, since later grammar and reading tend to reuse them. Keep the cards tied to the sentences where they appeared.

How should I review N5 grammar patterns with flashcards?

Put the pattern on the front and its meaning plus one example sentence on the back. Review it alongside the vocabulary so you practice recognizing it in context.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included in Plus, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Students can get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
