Why build your own German flashcards PDF

Your class moves through its own chapters, so a generic sheet rarely covers the verbs, cases and noun endings you will actually be tested on. Upload your German notes or a course PDF and DeckOwl builds German flashcards from a PDF that match what you are studying this week.

  • Cards come from your own textbook chapters, slides or notes.
  • Articles, plurals and example sentences can sit on the same card.
  • Spaced repetition brings back the words you keep missing.
  • Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser.
Example German vocabulary and grammar flashcards
der Tischthe table (masculine; the article changes to den in the accusative and dem in the dative)
Wie spät ist es?What time is it?
Ich habe Hunger.I am hungry. (Literally: I have hunger.)
Ich sehe ___ Mann. (accusative)den Mann, because the direct object takes the accusative case and der changes to den.
Perfekt of machengemacht, formed with haben. Regular verbs use ge- plus the stem plus -t.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or a photo of a page, and the cards come from your course, not a generic word list.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer intervals so review time goes to the hard words.

Printable on Plus

Export your German flashcards as a PDF on the Plus plan, or send them to Anki or a CSV file.

How it works

Upload your German material

Add a course PDF, slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a textbook page. Text in photos is read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the vocabulary, articles, plurals and verb forms, then keep the cards you want and edit the rest.

Study or export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export a PDF, Anki or CSV file on Plus.

Each card can carry the article, plural and example sentence, so gender and case patterns get learned alongside the word. Quizzes and mind maps from the same upload help you check whether the vocabulary has stuck.

Frequently asked questions

How many German flashcards should I make for one chapter?

Aim for the 20 to 40 words or grammar points a chapter introduces, since that keeps each session short. Add more only after you can recall the first set without looking.

Should German flashcards include the article and plural?

Yes, put the article and plural on the card, such as der Tisch, die Tische. Learning gender with the noun helps you remember case endings later.

Can I download my German flashcards as a PDF?

PDF export is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
