Studying French vocabulary with an app

Most French students end up with vocabulary spread across textbook margins, phone photos of the board and a folder of handouts. A French flashcards app pulls those sources into one deck, so you drill the words your teacher actually used instead of a generic list.

Turn French vocabulary lists, dialogues and grammar tables into cards
Keep gender, verb forms and example sentences on the back of each card
Review with spaced repetition so weaker words come back more often
Move your deck to Anki or CSV with a Plus plan when you want it elsewhere

Example French vocabulary flashcards

Comment ça va ?How are you? Common replies are 'Ça va bien' or 'Très bien, merci'.

il pleutIt is raining. The verb pleuvoir is used with the placeholder subject 'il' because weather verbs have no real subject.

la bibliothèqueThe library. It is a feminine noun, so it takes the article 'la'.

Je voudrais un café, s'il vous plaît.I would like a coffee, please. 'Voudrais' is the conditional of vouloir, which makes the request polite.

Which verbs take être in the passé composé?Verbs of motion and change, such as aller, venir and partir. The past participle agrees with the subject, as in elle est allée.

Spaced repetition

Words you miss come back sooner, and words you know are spaced further apart so your review time goes to the hard ones.

Study anywhere

Review in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds Anki and CSV export so your French deck can move into other tools.

How it works

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX file, plain notes or a photo of a page from your French class.

DeckOwl reads the text and writes French-English cards, which you can edit before studying.

Review on a schedule

Study the deck in the browser and let spaced repetition decide which words need another pass.

DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes and photos of pages, then writes flashcards with spaced repetition so the words you miss come back sooner. The free plan lets you study in the browser, and export to Anki and CSV is part of Plus.

For verb conjugations and gender rules, add the tables from your course materials and check each generated back side against your textbook before a test. Short daily sessions tend to work better than one long cram night.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a French vocabulary unit?

Start with the words from one lesson or chapter, often a few dozen, so you can review them every day. Add more once that set feels routine.

Is it better to learn French words in context or as single words?

Pairing each word with a short sentence helps recall, because you learn how it is used as well as what it means. Put the phrase on the front and the translation, gender or verb form on the back.

Does the free plan include exports?

No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and study in the browser. Plus, at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Can I start without a credit card?

Yes. No credit card is needed to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
