Why build your own deck instead of downloading one

Most ready-made French revision flashcards follow a generic course, so they rarely match the chapters, verb tenses and vocabulary your teacher chose. A printable sheet can also go stale the moment your syllabus changes. Making cards from your own material keeps the review focused on what will appear in your assessment.

Cards come from the exact lessons, handouts and notes you already have.
Verb conjugations, gender rules and vocabulary are split into separate, testable cards.
Spaced repetition schedules harder cards more often, so review time goes where it is needed.
Exports to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX are available on the paid plans if you want to study offline.

Example French revision flashcards for grammar and vocabulary

When do you use the imparfait instead of the passé composé?For ongoing or repeated past actions, descriptions and background. The passé composé marks a completed event with a clear start or end.

Conjugate avoir in the present tense: je ___j'ai (I have)

Why is the subjunctive used in 'Il faut que tu viennes'?Il faut que is followed by the subjunctive, so viennes (from venir) is correct.

What does the partitive article du mean in 'Je mange du pain'?Some or an unspecified amount of, formed from de + le. It is used with uncountable nouns like bread.

Where do ne and pas go in the negative passé composé 'Je n'ai pas vu'?Ne goes before the auxiliary verb and pas goes after it, so the auxiliary sits between them.

How it works

Upload your French material

Add your lesson slides, grammar handout, vocabulary list or a photo of your notebook.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl turns the content into question and answer cards covering the grammar and vocabulary in that material.

Revise with spaced repetition

Work through the deck daily. Cards you miss are scheduled to reappear more often than the ones you know.

The same approach works for any level. A Year 10 student can turn a unit on the passé composé into cards for each irregular past participle, while a university learner can build a deck from a reading list and test vocabulary in context. Questions stay in French where you need them, and the answers show the English meaning or the grammar rule behind it.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for French verb conjugations?

Aim for one card per tense and per common verb, starting with the verbs your teacher uses most often. A set of 30 to 50 cards covering the present, passé composé and imperfect is a practical first deck.

Is the passé composé or the imparfait better to learn first?

Learn the passé composé first, since it is more frequent in everyday speech and in most beginner exams. Once you are comfortable, practise choosing between it and the imparfait using sentences from your own lessons.

Can I export my French flashcards?

Exports are available on the Plus plan, which includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Does DeckOwl work with photos of my French textbook?

Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a picture of a textbook page or handwritten notes and generate flashcards from it.
