Why build your own physical appearance deck from a PDF

Physical appearance vocabulary, covering hair, eye color, height, build and facial features, is a common unit in beginner English and ESL classes, and most teachers hand out their own word lists. If you went looking for ready-made flashcards about physical appearance in PDF form, you will mostly find generic printables that rarely match your worksheet or chapter. A better route is to start from the exact handout or reading you have and turn it into cards.

  • Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a handout
  • Cards pulled from your own source rather than a generic word list
  • Spaced repetition to revisit tricky descriptive words
  • Export to PDF, Anki or CSV on Plus for printing or offline review
