Why build your own German prepositions flashcards

Printable German prepositions flashcards are easy to find, but they rarely match the drills your teacher assigned. Generating German prepositions flashcards from your own notes keeps the examples in your course's vocabulary and saves the hand sorting.

Two-way prepositions get separate cards for location (dative) and movement (accusative).
Case groups stay together: accusative, dative and genitive.
Example sentences come from the lesson material you upload.
Spaced repetition schedules the cards you keep missing.

Example German prepositions flashcards by case

Which prepositions always take the accusative case?durch, ohne, gegen, für and um (remember the mnemonic DOGFU in a common order).

Which prepositions always take the dative case?aus, bei, mit, nach, seit, von and zu.

Which are the nine two-way prepositions?an, auf, hinter, in, neben, über, unter, vor and zwischen. They take dative for location and accusative for movement.

Ich gehe in die Stadt versus Ich bin in der Stadt: why does in change its case?In die Stadt shows movement toward a place, so accusative. In der Stadt shows location, so dative.

Which common prepositions take the genitive case?während, wegen, trotz and statt, as in während des Unterrichts (during the lesson).

Generate the full set

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition, so handwritten-style handouts still work when they are legible.

Spaced repetition

Cards return at the intervals where you are most likely to forget them, so the case endings you miss most come back sooner.

Quizzes from the same notes

The same material can produce multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations, plus mind maps of the case groups.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add your textbook pages, a class handout or a photo of the board.

Review the cards

Check that each preposition is paired with the right case and edit anything that looks off.

Study on schedule

Spaced repetition brings back the cards you miss most often, so the weak spots get more practice.

Most learners find the cases harder than the vocabulary. Keep each preposition paired with its case, and review the accusative, dative and genitive groups separately so the endings stick.

Frequently asked questions

Which German prepositions should I learn first?

Start with the accusative-only and dative-only groups, since each follows one rule. The nine two-way prepositions (an, auf, hinter, in, neben, über, unter, vor, zwischen) need a card for location and another for movement.

How many flashcards should I make for German prepositions?

There is no fixed number. Most learners do better with a few dozen cards per case group than with one large deck, and they add new cards as the old ones become easy.

Can I export German prepositions flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included in the Plus plan, which also removes the monthly generation limit. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free way to try it?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and needs no credit card to start. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
