Why custom French decks beat premade ones

Premade French decks can be a useful starting point, but they rarely match the vocabulary and grammar in your own course. If you want the best Anki flashcards for French for your class, the strongest set is the one built from your textbook chapters, vocabulary lists and lecture slides.

Cards follow your syllabus rather than a generic word list.
Grammar points such as verb conjugations get their own cards.
Photos of handouts and textbook pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition keeps older vocabulary in rotation.

Example French grammar flashcards

How do you politely say 'I would like' in French?Je voudrais, from the conditional of vouloir, as in Je voudrais un café, s'il vous plaît.

Which auxiliary verb does aller take in the passé composé?Être, as in elle est allée. Verbs of motion use être, and the past participle agrees with the subject.

What is the difference between savoir and connaître?Savoir is for facts and knowing how to do something, while connaître is for people and places, as in Je connais Paris.

What mood does bien que require?The subjunctive, as in bien qu'il soit fatigué, meaning although he is tired.

How do you say 'some water' in French?De l'eau, using the partitive article, as in Je bois de l'eau.

Generate the full set

Built from your own material

Upload the vocabulary list, grammar handout or chapter PDF your class uses, and the cards match what you will be tested on.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer intervals, so review time goes to the words you are still forgetting.

Export to Anki

On the Plus plan you can export your French decks to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV files.

How it works

Upload your French material

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

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl creates front and back cards from your content. Edit any card that needs a correction before you study.

Study or export

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

Paste or upload your material and DeckOwl turns it into cards with a clear question on the front and the answer on the back. Spaced repetition then schedules reviews so you see the words you are forgetting more often than the ones you already know.

Frequently asked questions

How many French flashcards should I study each day?

Start with a small batch, around 15 to 20 new cards a day, and add more only once your reviews feel manageable. Consistent short sessions usually work better than occasional long ones.

Should French flashcards cover verb conjugations or just vocabulary?

Include both. Vocabulary cards work best with an example sentence, and irregular verbs like être and avoir need their own cards for each tense you are learning.

Can I export DeckOwl flashcards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, which also adds PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan includes three generations a month and browser study, without exports.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

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