Example Genki 1 vocabulary flashcards

先生 (せんせい)Teacher. Also used as a respectful title for doctors and other professionals.

学生 (がくせい)Student, a person enrolled at a school or university.

水 (みず)Water. Written with the kanji 水 and read as mizu in the first chapters.

食べます (たべます)To eat, the polite present form of 食べる (taberu), used when speaking to someone you do not know well.

Particle は (wa)Marks the topic of the sentence, not the subject, so 私は学生です means 'As for me, I am a student.'

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of your own Genki 1 pages and get cards that match your chapters and class handouts.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back just before you would forget them, so early vocabulary and verb forms stay with you through later units.

Export to Anki

On Plus, take your deck into Anki on desktop or mobile, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV exports.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, slide deck, text file or photo of your Genki 1 pages. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the vocabulary, particles and verb conjugations DeckOwl pulls out, and edit any card that needs changing.

Study on a schedule

Review in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus and keep reviewing with the same intervals.

Upload the chapter notes or your own copy of the vocabulary lists, and DeckOwl writes one card per word or pattern. Short cards with a Japanese prompt on one side and the meaning on the other work well for recall.

Spaced repetition does the scheduling, so you spend less time sorting cards and more time saying the words aloud.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for Genki 1?

Aim for one card per new vocabulary word and one per grammar pattern in each chapter, rather than copying whole lessons. A chapter usually yields a few dozen cards, which is a workable daily review load.

What is the best way to study Japanese vocabulary with flashcards?

Try to recall the Japanese word from the English meaning before flipping the card, and say it aloud. Spaced repetition then brings back the words you miss more often.

Can I export my Genki 1 flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Can I try it before paying?

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