Turn your German vocab lists into flashcards with English answers
Upload a word list, a PDF from class, or a photo of your notes, and DeckOwl builds German-English flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
Why build your own German-English card deck
Most students searching for ready-made German vocabulary cards want a set that matches the chapter they are tested on. Deutsch-Englisch flashcards work best when they come from the exact word lists your course uses, including the example sentences and noun genders your teacher emphasized. A generic deck often includes words you will never see on a test and misses the ones you will.
- Cards are built from your own word lists, slides, or note photos
- Noun articles and verb forms can go on the front of the card
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you forget
- Free plan includes study in the browser; exports need Plus
Works from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of a vocabulary page. Text recognition reads the pages so the cards match what your teacher actually assigned.
Spaced repetition scheduling
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know fade into longer intervals, so you spend your time on the words that need it.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same notes into multiple choice, true/false, or short answer quizzes with explanations, or map out verb conjugations and topic vocabulary as a mind map.
How it works
Upload your word list or notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, text file, or photo of the vocabulary page from your German class.
Review the generated cards
Each card shows the German term on the front and the English meaning on the back. Edit anything that does not match your lesson.
Study with spaced repetition
Review a short session each day in the browser. The schedule adjusts to which words you remember.
DeckOwl reads your own material and writes the cards for you. Nouns can show the article on the front, such as der, die, or das, so gender is practiced along with the meaning. Verbs can appear with their past forms, and you can add a short example sentence to the back. Everything is studied in the browser on the free plan, and Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export if you want to print or move your deck.

Frequently asked questions
Should German-English flashcards include the article for nouns?
Yes, putting der, die, or das on the front helps you learn gender along with the word. Many teachers test gender directly, so it is worth practicing with every noun.
How many new German words should I add at a time?
Smaller daily batches tend to stick better than one long weekly session. Spaced repetition then brings each word back at the right time for review.
Can I export my German flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser without exports.
Is there a free plan for German vocabulary practice?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, or CSV require a paid plan.
