Why a generated deck beats a generic list

Most German A1 courses teach a fixed set of words each week, and a random German A1 vocabulary list flashcards set from the internet may skip some of them or include words your class never uses. Building your own deck from the exact handout keeps your study aligned with what you will be tested on.

  • Use your own textbook or teacher handout so the words match your course
  • Include nouns with their articles, verb infinitives, and common phrases
  • Review a few minutes daily rather than cramming before a test
  • Edit cards that are too wordy so each one tests a single idea
Example German A1 vocabulary flashcards
der Hundthe dog
trinkento drink
die Schulethe school
großbig or tall
Guten MorgenGood morning (used before noon)

Built from your material

Upload a PDF of your textbook unit, a DOCX vocabulary handout, slides, or a photo of the page. The flashcards use the words your course actually covers.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move out of the daily queue. You spend your time on the German words you still need.

Study in the browser

Review on a laptop or phone without installing anything. The free plan includes 3 generations per month.

How it works

Upload your list

Add a PDF, DOCX, slides, plain-text notes, or an image of your vocabulary page.

Review the flashcards

Check the German terms and English meanings, then edit any card that doesn't match your class.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck daily. Missed cards return sooner, so weak words get extra practice.

Flashcards work best when each card has one German word or phrase on the front and a clear English meaning on the back. Include articles for nouns, such as der, die, or das, because gender is one of the first things A1 learners need to memorize. Review new cards in short sessions, then let spaced repetition bring back the ones you forget.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for German A1?

Start with the words from one unit or chapter, usually a manageable set of 20 to 40 items, and add more as you progress. Smaller decks are easier to review every day, which matters more than total size.

Should German flashcards include articles like der, die, and das?

Yes, for nouns. Putting the article on the front or back, such as die Schule, helps you remember gender along with the word, which is hard to learn from the noun alone.

Can I export these flashcards?

Exports are a paid feature. The free plan lets you study in the browser, while Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export.

Is there a free plan to try it?

Yes. You can start without a credit card and get 3 generations per month on the free plan. Students get 40% off a paid plan with a school email.
