Build your vocabulary from the lessons you already have

Language courses produce a steady stream of word lists, verb tables and reading passages, and the hard part is turning them into cards you will actually review. Anki flashcards for language learning work best when each card tests one thing, such as a word, a gender, or a verb form, and the back shows the answer in context.

Cards built from your own vocabulary lists, lesson PDFs and slides
Front-and-back cards that test words, grammar and verb forms

Example Spanish, French and German flashcards

Spanish: how do you say 'I am hungry'?Tengo hambre. Spanish uses tener for hunger, not estar or ser.

Gender of 'la main' in FrenchFeminine. Main is feminine, so the article is la.

German: 'Ich sehe ___ Hund' (I see the dog), article neededden Hund. Masculine nouns change from der to den in the accusative case.

Hiragana character し is read as what sound?shi. Each hiragana character stands for one syllable.

Italian passato prossimo of 'andare' for 'I went' (male speaker)Sono andato. Movement verbs like andare take essere as the auxiliary.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl turns the content into front-and-back cards ready for review.

Study or export

Review in the browser with spaced repetition, or export to Anki on the Plus plan.

Spaced repetition does the scheduling so you do not have to. Cards you find easy appear less often, and cards you miss return sooner, which suits vocabulary that fades quickly without regular review.

Because DeckOwl reads your own files, the cards match the textbook and course you are actually taking rather than a generic word list.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make per language lesson?

Keep each batch small enough to review in one sitting, such as one lesson's vocabulary. Spaced repetition then brings back the words you are about to forget, so you do not need to study everything at once.

Should language flashcards include example sentences?

Yes. A sentence shows how a word is used, including its gender, case and common partners, which a bare translation hides. Put the sentence on the back so you recall the word first.

Can I export these cards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included on the Plus plan, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Can DeckOwl make cards from photos of textbook pages?

Yes, images are read with text recognition, so a photo of a vocabulary page can become cards. Check recognized accents and special characters before you study.
