Why generate your own set instead of downloading a printable

Many families and teachers already have the Chinese words from school in a PDF, a slide deck or a photo of a worksheet, so a set of Chinese flashcards for kids can start from those pages instead of a generic download.

  • Keep the character, pinyin and English meaning on one card.
  • Start with the words from this week's lesson, not a full year list.
  • Add a short example phrase on the back so the word has context.
  • Print a PDF on Plus when you want paper cards for the car or the table.
Example Chinese vocabulary flashcards for kids

狗 (gǒu)dog
苹果 (píngguǒ)apple
谢谢 (xièxie)thank you
你好 (nǐ hǎo)hello
Generate the full set

Upload what you already have

Send PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of a vocabulary page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards your child misses come back sooner, and known words move further apart so study time goes to the words that need it.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same vocabulary into multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations, or a mind map of word groups.

How it works

Upload a sheet or photo

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes file or a photo of a Chinese vocabulary page.

Check the cards

Review the characters, pinyin and English meanings, then edit anything that needs fixing.

Study or export

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export so you can print a set.

A generic printable list covers words that may not match what your child is learning this week. Generating cards from your own material keeps the vocabulary, the characters and the example sentences aligned with class, and spaced repetition brings back the words that slip.

If you want a paper copy, export the cards as a PDF on the Plus plan. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should a child study in one session?

Most children do well with a short daily set of about 10 to 15 new cards. Spaced repetition then brings older cards back when they are due for review.

How do I help a child learn tones with flashcards?

Put the character and pinyin with tone marks on the front, and have the child say the word aloud before flipping the card. Checking the tone against the back helps the sound stick.

Can I print the flashcards as a PDF?

PDF export is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to start?

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