Studying German from your own course material

German learning flashcards work best when they reflect the exact vocabulary and grammar your class covers, not a generic list. A flashcard that pairs a noun with its article, or a verb with its past participle, trains recall the way German exams and conversations demand.

  • Vocabulary cards with the article and plural form
  • Grammar cards for cases, verb conjugations and word order
  • Short daily reviews that adjust to what you forget
  • Study in the browser on the free plan, with exports on Plus
Example German flashcards for beginners
der Hundthe dog (masculine noun)
die Katzethe cat (feminine noun, plural die Katzen)
Ich habe keine Zeit.I do not have time.
Past participle of gehengegangen (used with sein: ich bin gegangen)
Masculine accusative: how do der and ein change?der becomes den and ein becomes einen, for example den Hund and einen Hund

From your own German material

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads scanned pages too.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you find hard come back sooner, and easy ones spread out, so you spend time on what you are likely to forget.

Articles and gender included

Write der, die or das with each noun, and use the front and back of each card for any German term or rule you need to drill.

How it works

Upload your German notes

Add a textbook chapter, a vocabulary list or a photo of your class board.

Review the generated cards

Check the word pairs and grammar points, then edit any card that needs more context.

Study in short daily sessions

Open the browser deck each day and review what is due, with spaced repetition setting the timing.

If you were hoping for a ready-made printable deck, a custom set built from your own chapters and slides will match your syllabus better than a general download. You can also add cards for irregular verbs, case endings and separable prefixes as you meet them in class.

Spaced repetition does the scheduling, so you do not have to plan review sessions by hand. Keep new cards to a manageable number each day and let the reviews catch up over time.

Frequently asked questions

How many new German flashcards should I add each day?

Keep new cards small enough that you can review every card that comes due. Adding a few more each day works better than a large batch you cannot keep up with.

Should German flashcards include articles and gender?

Yes. Put der, die or das on the front of noun cards so you learn gender along with the word. This habit makes case and plural endings easier to remember later.

Can I export German flashcards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan, which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

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