Duolingo-style German flashcards built from your own notes
Upload German word lists, lesson handouts, slides or photos of textbook pages and get a flashcard deck you can review on a spaced repetition schedule.
Why build your own German deck instead of a ready-made one
Plenty of learners practice German on Duolingo and still want a deck they control. Duolingo German flashcards made from your own notes, textbook pages or class handouts focus on the words your course actually uses, in the order you meet them.
- Turn German lesson PDFs, slides and notes into flashcards in one upload
- Photos of textbook pages are read with text recognition
- Spaced repetition schedules review around the words you miss
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
Works from your German material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition, so handwritten-to-print or printed textbook pages both work.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so review time goes to the words you are still forgetting.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same German material into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map of verbs, nouns and grammar topics.
How it works
Upload your German material
Add a PDF, a DOCX, a PPTX, a text file or a photo of your notes or textbook pages.
Generate your flashcards
Get a deck of German words on the front with English meanings on the back. Edit anything that looks off before you study.
Review on a spaced schedule
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV on Plus.
Upload a vocabulary list or a photo of a unit page and the generator produces cards you can review in short daily sessions. Spaced repetition then brings back the words you keep missing, so verb forms and noun genders stick instead of blurring together.
If you also use the Duolingo app, keep it for daily reps and use your own deck for the vocabulary from your class or your reading.

Frequently asked questions
How many German words should I learn per week as a beginner?
Most beginners do better with a small set of new words each day than a long batch once a week. Short daily reviews fit spaced repetition and keep older words from fading.
Should I learn German articles like der, die and das with flashcards?
Yes. Put the article on the front with the noun, such as die Katze, so the gender is learned together with the word instead of as a separate rule.
Can I export my German flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV is included in the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and study in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start.
