Turn your beginner French notes into flashcards with AI
Ready-made decks rarely match what your class covers. Upload your textbook chapter, vocab list or a photo of class notes and get flashcards built from that material.
Why generate your own French flashcards
Ready-made decks rarely follow the order your course teaches, so beginner French flashcards work best when they come from your own material. A vocabulary list from week three or a grammar handout tells you exactly what you will be tested on.
- Cards come from your own course material, not a generic list.
- Photos of handwritten or printed pages are read with text recognition.
- The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study.
- Plus adds unlimited generations, spaced repetition and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. The text is read and turned into question and answer cards.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so new French words stick across study sessions.
Quizzes too
Turn the same notes into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations to check your understanding.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, a slide deck, a document or a photo of your French vocabulary list.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards, edit any that are off, and remove the ones you do not need.
Study a little every day
Work through short sessions in the browser and let spaced repetition schedule your reviews.
Start with the most common words and phrases, such as greetings, numbers and the verbs être and avoir. Keep each session to a small set of new words so you can review them before adding more.
DeckOwl reads your source and writes the cards, so you spend your time studying rather than typing.
