Why custom phonics cards beat generic printables

Printable sheets cover the standard German letter sounds, but your class may focus on different words, so german phonics flashcards built from your own handouts usually stick better.

  • Flashcards generated from your own PDFs, slides, notes, or photos of handouts
  • Spaced repetition to focus on the sounds you miss
  • Study in the browser on the free plan, with 3 generations per month
  • Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan for offline review

Works from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, notes, or a photo of a handout and get flashcards built from those exact sounds and words.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer intervals, so pronunciation sticks.

Text from images

Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so a snapped worksheet becomes a working deck.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file, or a photo of your German phonics handout.

Review the cards

Study the generated flashcards in your browser and check that each sound and example matches your class.

Study on a schedule

Spaced repetition brings back the sounds you struggle with most, so you practice them on the days they are due.

German spelling is more regular than English, but a few pairs trip learners up: w and v, z and s, ie and i, and the two ch sounds in ich and Bach. Cards that put each sound next to a sample word make those contrasts easier to hear and say.

Start with the 10 to 15 sounds your course covers, then add the words your teacher uses. Review a small batch each day rather than the whole deck at once.

Frequently asked questions

How do I tell the two German ch sounds apart?

Use a soft ch after front vowels like i and e, as in ich, and a harsh ch after a, o, or u, as in Bach. Practice the pairs side by side so the contrast becomes automatic.

How many phonics flashcards should I make at once?

Start with the 10 to 15 sounds your course covers and add words that use each one. Smaller daily batches are easier to review than one large deck.

Can I export my German phonics flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is a paid feature on the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan includes browser study only.
