Why build your own French Anki deck

Ready-made French decks cover someone else's word list, not the vocabulary in your textbook or the verbs your teacher covered last week. A French Anki deck made from your own chapter, vocab sheet or lecture slides matches what you will actually be tested on.

  • Upload your own textbook pages, slides or notes instead of a generic word list.
  • Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so paper handouts work too.
  • Spaced repetition brings back the cards you miss most often.
  • Export to Anki on Plus, or study in the browser on the free plan.
Example French vocabulary flashcards for beginners
How do you say 'thank you very much' in French?Merci beaucoup.
What is the French word for 'library'?La bibliothèque.
What does 'j'ai faim' mean?I am hungry, literally 'I have hunger', because French uses avoir for hunger.
Which verb means 'to know' a fact, as opposed to knowing a person?Savoir is used for facts and skills; connaître is used for people and places.
What is the feminine form of 'petit' in 'a small house'?Une petite maison; the feminine adds a final e, so petit becomes petite.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should a French vocabulary deck have?

There is no fixed right number. Start with one unit or chapter so each session stays manageable, then add cards as new material comes up.

What is the best way to study French vocabulary with flashcards?

Put the French word on the front and the English meaning on the back, and add a short example sentence when you can. Review every day with spaced repetition so the hard words return sooner.

Can I export my French deck to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Can I use a photo of my French textbook page?

Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload them alongside PDFs, slides or notes.
