Why build your own N5 deck

AI-made Anki flashcards for Japanese N5 work best when they come from the words and grammar your own course covers. If you are looking for a ready-made deck, a generic one may include items your teacher never uses, so making one from your lesson pages keeps the review focused.

  • Vocabulary cards with kana readings and English meanings
  • Kanji cards that pair each character with a common word
  • Grammar cards showing a particle or pattern in a short sentence
  • Cards generated from your own PDFs, slides, notes and photos
Example Japanese N5 vocabulary flashcards
水 (みず) means what in English?Water. It is written with the kanji 水 and read mizu.
食べる (たべる) means what in English?To eat. It is a common ru-verb used in everyday N5 sentences.
学校 (がっこう) means what in English?School. It is made from 学 (study) and 校 (school building).
In 私は学生です, what does the particle は mark?The topic of the sentence, here 'I'. It is read as wa when used as a particle.
大きい (おおきい) means what in English?Big or large. It is an i-adjective, so its negative is 大きくない.

Built from your material

Cards come from the lessons, handouts and pages you actually study, not a generic deck that may not match your course.

Spaced repetition

Reviews are scheduled so words you miss come back sooner and easy ones spread out over time.

Export to Anki

On the Plus plan, export your cards to Anki along with PDF, DOCX and CSV formats.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of your pages. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the vocabulary, kanji readings and grammar points the tool pulled out, and edit anything that looks off.

Study or export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus and keep your reviews on one schedule.

Good N5 cards are short. Put a single kanji, word or particle on the front and its reading, meaning and one example sentence on the back. Spaced repetition then brings back the items you forget, which helps more than rereading the same list before a test.

Start with the lesson that is coming up next, generate cards for it, and review them daily for a few minutes. Add the next unit once the current one feels steady.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for JLPT N5?

There is no official word count for the exam you can rely on to set a target. Make cards for the vocabulary and grammar in your current lessons, and add more as each unit is covered.

What is the best way to study N5 kanji with flashcards?

Pair each kanji with its most common reading and one everyday word that uses it. Review these with spaced repetition so the characters stick over weeks instead of being crammed the night before a test.

Can I export these cards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan, which is $39 a year or $7.99 a month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Can I make flashcards from a photo of my textbook page?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a picture of a textbook page or handout. Check the results, since recognition can miss small text or furigana.
