Turn your Chinese Made Easy lessons into flashcards
Upload the pages you already have and get a deck of vocabulary and grammar cards that comes back on a spaced repetition schedule.
Why build your own Chinese Made Easy flashcards
Students working through a textbook in the Chinese Made Easy series often want ready-made decks, but DeckOwl does not sell prebuilt sets. Instead, you can create Chinese Made Easy flashcards from the lesson pages, vocabulary lists and notes you already have, so the words you review match the words you are learning that week.
- Upload a lesson's vocabulary page and get cards in minutes
- Edit any card before studying so pinyin and tone marks are right
- Review on a spaced repetition schedule instead of rereading the same list
- Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan when you want cards elsewhere
Built from your own pages
Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of textbook pages and get flashcards drawn from that material.
Spaced repetition
Cards return on a schedule that adjusts to what you miss, so characters and tones stick longer.
Reads photos of pages
Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so a snapped lesson page can become a deck.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, typed vocab list or photo of a lesson page.
Review the cards
Check the generated fronts and backs and edit any pinyin or meaning that needs fixing.
Study on schedule
Work through the deck in the browser and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you miss.
Mandarin is hard to drill by memory alone because each character needs its sound, its tones and its meaning. Cards work best with one item per side, with the hanzi or pinyin on the front and the English meaning on the back, and they return at intervals that stretch as you recall them.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a Chinese Made Easy lesson?
Most lessons hold a few dozen new words, so one deck per lesson keeps reviews manageable. Start with the vocabulary list and add key grammar points as separate cards.
How often should I review Chinese characters with flashcards?
Review new characters the day after you learn them, then let spaced repetition space out the ones you recall easily. Short daily sessions work better than long weekly ones.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are not included. Plus is $39/year or $7.99/month and adds unlimited generations and exports.
Can I export my cards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is available on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV exports. Students get 40% off with a school email.
