Why a custom deck beats a generic PDF
Printable French flashcards for beginners PDF sets are easy to find, but they rarely match the words in your textbook or the phrases your teacher uses. A custom deck built from your own pages keeps your study focused on what will appear on your quizzes.
- Upload the exact vocabulary lists and handouts from your French class
- Cover one unit at a time so each deck stays small and manageable
- Include articles and genders on noun cards, such as le, la and les
- Study a few minutes daily so spaced repetition can schedule your reviews
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, slide deck, text file or photo of a page. The flashcards use the vocabulary and phrases from your own course.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know are spaced further apart, so beginner French vocabulary sticks with less daily effort.
Study anywhere
Study in your browser on the free plan. Paid plans add PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export if you want a printable copy.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slides, a text file or a photo of your French handout. Text in photos is read automatically.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards for accuracy and keep the ones that match your class vocabulary.
Study with spaced repetition
Review daily in the browser. The schedule adjusts to the cards you find hard.
Start with a single unit, such as greetings, numbers or everyday verbs. Aim for about 20 to 30 new cards per session, and check each card's gender and article for nouns, since beginners often lose points there.
Once the deck is made, study a few minutes every day rather than cramming. Spaced repetition handles the scheduling, so you only spend time on the cards you are still learning.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should a beginner make for one French unit?
Most beginners do well with 20 to 30 new cards per unit, reviewed in short daily sessions. Add more only after you can recall the current set without checking.
Should French noun flashcards include the article?
Yes. Including le, la or les on the front or back helps you remember gender, which beginners often miss on quizzes. Keep the article with the noun on every card.
Can I export my French flashcards to a PDF?
PDF export is available on the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study the flashcards in your browser with 3 generations per month.
