Turn your Russian lesson notes into an Anki deck for beginners
Upload your own vocabulary lists, textbook pages or slide photos and get flashcards you can study in the browser, or export to Anki on Plus.
Why build your own Russian beginner deck
Beginner Russian moves fast: the alphabet, noun cases and verbs of motion can all show up in the same week. An Anki deck for Russian beginners works best when it reflects your own course, so the words you meet in class are the words you review at home.
- Upload each lesson as its own file so cards stay organized by unit.
- Keep card fronts short: one word, one phrase or one question.
- Add stress marks or transliteration to the back only if your course uses them.
- Review new cards daily and let older cards return on the schedule.
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page, and the flashcards come from the words and phrases you are actually learning.
Spaced repetition included
Cards come back at the intervals that help beginner vocabulary and the Cyrillic alphabet stick, so you spend less time rereading.
Export to Anki on Plus
Plus includes Anki export, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV, so your deck can sync to the Anki app on any device you use.
How it works
Upload your Russian notes
Add a class handout, a vocabulary list or a photo of a textbook page. Text is read from images, so handwritten-scan pages work too.
Review the generated cards
Check the fronts and backs, fix anything that looks off, and keep the cards that match what your course teaches.
Study or export
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus and keep reviewing on a schedule.
Pre-made decks are useful for general vocabulary, but they rarely match your textbook chapter or your teacher's examples. Generating cards from your own material keeps the deck focused and cuts the time you spend typing cards by hand.
Start with the Cyrillic alphabet and high-frequency phrases, then add grammar cards as each unit arrives. Review a little every day, and let the spaced repetition schedule decide what comes back next.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should a Russian beginner study each day?
Many beginners do well with 10 to 20 new cards a day, plus whatever reviews come due. Short, regular sessions help the alphabet and core vocabulary stick better than long weekend cramming.
What should a beginner put on Russian flashcards first?
Start with the Cyrillic letters and sounds, then high-frequency words like greetings, numbers and common verbs. Add noun case endings once the basic vocabulary feels comfortable.
Can I export my Russian deck to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
