Why build your own Kotoba N5 deck

Kotoba N5 is a vocabulary resource many students use while preparing for the JLPT N5, and a Kotoba N5 Anki deck works best when it matches the exact pages you are studying. DeckOwl does not sell a ready-made deck, so instead you generate one from your own material.

  • Upload the pages you actually study so the deck matches your course.
  • Keep the kanji, kana reading and English meaning on every card.
  • Review a small batch each day rather than cramming a full list the night before.
  • Export to Anki on Plus if you want the same deck on your phone and computer.
Example Kotoba N5 vocabulary flashcards

How it works

Upload your list

Add a PDF, notes or a photo of the Kotoba N5 pages you are studying.

Generate flashcards

Get a front and back card for each word, with the reading and meaning on the back.

Study or export

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

Start with the vocabulary section you are working on, then add example sentences or your own notes if they help. The cards will keep the word, its reading and its meaning together, so you practice recognition in both directions.

Short daily reviews beat occasional long sessions for vocabulary. Let spaced repetition decide which words need more attention, and add new pages only after the current ones feel steady.

Frequently asked questions

How should I study N5 vocabulary each day?

Short daily sessions with a limited number of new words work better than long cramming. Review due cards first, then add a small batch of new ones.

Should I memorize kanji readings or just meanings first?

Learn the reading along with the kanji from the start, since N5 vocabulary is tested on both reading and meaning. Adding one example sentence per word helps it stick.

Can I export my deck to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students also get 40% off with a school email.
