Why digital French flashcards work better when they come from your own course

Your French course already produces the right material: vocabulary lists, textbook units, and slides from class. french digital flashcards are most useful when they are built from that exact material, because the words on the card are the words your teacher will test.

  • Cards use the exact French terms from your unit, not a generic word list.
  • Review happens in the browser, so you can study on any device you already use.
  • Photos of printed handouts are read with text recognition and turned into cards.
  • Plus adds export to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV if you want to study elsewhere.

Built from your own material

Upload a unit from your textbook, a vocab list, or a photo of a handout. The flashcards match the words and phrases your class actually covers.

Spaced repetition

Cards you know come back less often, and cards you miss come back sooner, so review time goes to the French you have not yet learned.

Text from photos

Take a picture of a printed page and the text is read with recognition, so handwritten-free printed material works without retyping.

How it works

Upload your French material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file, or image of the page you are studying.

Review the generated cards

Check the French term and its English meaning, then keep the cards that match your course.

Study with spaced repetition

Open the deck in your browser and review a little each day. The schedule adjusts to what you recall.

Digital cards also let you practice in short sessions. A few minutes between classes is enough to review, and spaced repetition keeps older vocabulary in rotation so it does not fade before the exam.

Frequently asked questions

How should I organize French flashcards by unit?

Make one deck for each textbook unit or chapter so the vocabulary stays grouped by theme. Add a second deck for verb conjugations if your course tests them separately.

What goes on the front and back of a French verb flashcard?

Put the infinitive or the subject and verb on the front, such as je voir, and the conjugated form on the back. Group cards by tense so you can drill one pattern at a time.

Can I upload a photo of my French textbook page?

Yes. Images are read with text recognition, so a photo of a printed page can be turned into flashcards. Check the generated cards against the page before you study them.

Can I export my French flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included on the Plus plan, which also covers PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
