Why build your own deck instead of downloading one

Ready-made decks are fine for common vocabulary, but french learning flashcards work best when they come from the lesson you are sitting through this week. Your teacher's wording, the unit's vocabulary list and the grammar points from your slides are what show up on quizzes.

  • Cards built from your own chapter, not a generic word list
  • Noun genders and verb forms kept on the same card
  • Quizzes with explanations from the same notes
  • Exports to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX on the Plus plan
Example French vocabulary flashcards
le chatthe cat (masculine noun, so use le)
How do you form the passé composé of 'aller' with 'je'?je suis allé(e), using être as the auxiliary verb
How do you say 'some bread' in French?du pain, using the partitive article du for a masculine mass noun
When do you say 'bonsoir' instead of 'bonjour'?In the evening, after dark or at dinner time
What does 'Il faut' mean?It is necessary or one must, followed by a verb in the infinitive

Works from your files

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of textbook pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know are spaced further apart, so vocabulary and verb forms stick.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or a mind map of grammar topics.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the PDF, slides or notes from your French class. No account setup is needed to start.

Review the generated cards

Check the vocabulary, gender of nouns and verb conjugations, then edit anything that looks off.

Study in the browser

Work through the deck daily. Spaced repetition decides which cards come back and when.

Good French cards usually put one idea on each side. Write the noun with its article on the front and the English meaning on the back, or put a short example sentence on the back for verbs. DeckOwl generates cards like this from your own files, then spaces out reviews so you revisit the hard ones before you forget them.

Frequently asked questions

How many new French words should I learn per day with flashcards?

Most learners do well with 10 to 20 new words a day, then review the day's cards before adding more. Spaced repetition shows the words you miss more often, so you do not need to repeat the whole deck.

Should French flashcards include example sentences or just word pairs?

Add a short example sentence on the back, since verbs and nouns are easier to recall in context. Keep the article for nouns, such as le or la, on the front so gender is practiced every time.

Can I export my French flashcards to Anki or a PDF?

Yes, exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan to try it?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start.
