Why build your own Russian Anki deck

Russian vocabulary, verb conjugations and noun cases pile up fast, and a page of textbook notes rarely shows you what you have forgotten. Russian Anki flashcards work best when they come from your own lesson material, so the words you actually meet in class are the ones you drill. DeckOwl reads PDFs, slides, typed notes and photos of pages, then writes question-and-answer cards you can study in the browser.

  • Cards cover vocabulary, noun cases and verb forms taken from your own lessons
  • Photos of printed or handwritten pages are read with text recognition
  • Spaced repetition runs on every card, including in the browser
  • Anki export is included with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month
Example Russian flashcards for beginners
How do you say 'thank you' in Russian?Spasibo (спасибо). For 'thank you very much', say bolshoye spasibo (большое спасибо).
Which case follows the preposition 'v' to show movement into a place?Accusative, as in v shkolu (в школу), meaning 'to school'.
What is the genitive plural of kniga (книга, book)?Knig (книг). The ending is zero and the vowel o is inserted, which is a common pattern for feminine nouns.
What is the past tense of chitat' (читать, to read) for a feminine subject?Chitala (читала). Past tense verbs agree with the gender of the subject, so masculine is chital and plural is chitali.
How do you say 'I have a cat' in Russian?U menya yest' koshka (У меня есть кошка). It literally means 'at me there is a cat', so Russian does not use a verb for 'to have'.

Frequently asked questions

How many Russian words should a flashcard deck hold?

Most learners do better with small batches of 15 to 30 cards per session than with one long list, since each card needs repeated review over several days. Build the deck from a single lesson or unit first, then add more.

What is the best way to study Russian noun cases with flashcards?

Write one card per case and preposition pattern, such as 'v plus accusative for direction', rather than one card per word. Practice the endings inside full phrases so you see the case in context.

Can I export DeckOwl flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but Anki export is a Plus feature at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and study in the browser, with no exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

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