Why build your own German vocabulary deck

Most ready-made German vocabulary flashcards PDF sheets cover a generic word list that may not match your textbook chapter or class. Making your own from the exact vocabulary you were given keeps every card relevant to what you will be tested on.

  • Cards match your textbook chapter or class list
  • Nouns can be stored with der, die or das
  • Spaced repetition schedules reviews for you
  • PDF export is available on the Plus plan
Example German vocabulary flashcards for beginners
der Hundthe dog (masculine noun, so use der)
lernento learn (regular verb, past participle gelernt)
die Bibliothekthe library (feminine noun, so use die)
Ich habe keine Zeit.I don't have time.
das Fensterthe window (neuter noun, so use das)
Generate the full set

Works from your own material

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of textbook pages and get cards built from the exact words you were assigned.

Spaced repetition

Cards return at the intervals your memory needs, so German words move from short-term recall into long-term memory.

PDF and Anki export

The Plus plan lets you export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV, so you can print a set or load it into another app.

Frequently asked questions

How should I group German vocabulary for flashcards?

Small themed sets, such as food, travel or school, are easier to review each day than one long list. Grouping related words also helps you remember them in context.

Should I learn German nouns with their articles?

Yes. Store der, die or das with each noun, for example die Bibliothek, so you learn the gender along with the word instead of memorizing it separately later.

Can I export my German flashcards as a PDF?

PDF export is included in the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser, and you can start without a credit card.

Does it work with photos of German textbook pages?

Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload images alongside PDFs, slides or notes.
