Why generate your own French location flashcards

Sur, sous, dans, devant, derrière and chez blur together fast in early French classes, especially when the vocabulary list mixes them with à and en. Ready-made French prepositions of location flashcards can cover the basics, but they rarely match the examples in your own textbook or lecture slides. DeckOwl builds a set from the material you already have.

  • Cards built from your own lesson slides and worksheets, not a generic list
  • Question and answer format you can edit before you study
  • Spaced repetition that prioritizes the location words you keep mixing up
  • Export to Anki or CSV on Plus when you want to study outside the browser
Example French location prepositions flashcards
How do you say 'on' or 'on top of' for a book on a table?sur (le livre est sur la table). Use sur when something rests on a surface.
How do you say 'under' for a cat under a chair?sous (le chat est sous la chaise). Sous is the opposite of sur.
How do you say 'in front of' for the station?devant (devant la gare). Devant is followed directly by the noun, with no de.
How do you say 'behind' for a house?derrière (derrière la maison). Like devant, it takes no de before the noun.
How do you say 'at the home of' for my place?chez (chez moi). Chez is used with people and businesses, such as chez le médecin, not with cities.

Frequently asked questions

How many French location prepositions should one flashcard set cover?

Most introductory courses cover sur, sous, dans, devant, derrière, à, en, chez and entre, so a focused set of a few dozen cards works well. Add any extra words your own class uses, since the list varies by textbook.

When should I use à, en or dans for location?

Use à for cities and small towns (à Paris), en for most feminine countries (en France), and dans for enclosed spaces (dans la boîte). Most masculine countries take au or aux, so add those as separate cards.

Can I export these French flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki and CSV export are included in the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Does DeckOwl work from a photo of my worksheet?

Yes, images are read with text recognition, so a photo of a page can become flashcards. Check the cards against the original, since recognition can miss accents.
