Turn your Genki lessons into Japanese flashcards with AI
DeckOwl doesn't ship pre-made Genki decks. Upload your own chapter PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages and get flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
How to make Japanese Genki flashcards that match your course
Most students using Genki want flashcards that line up with the chapter their class is on, not a generic deck. The fastest route is to make japanese genki flashcards from the material you already have: the lesson PDF, your instructor's slides and the vocabulary list you copied down in class.
- Chapter-specific cards from your own Genki PDFs, slides or notes
- Kana, vocabulary, kanji and grammar cards in one set
- Spaced repetition so review time goes to the cards you miss
- Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan when you want cards elsewhere
Built from your material
Upload the PDF of your Genki chapter, your class slides, typed notes or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads images too.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer intervals, so review time goes to what you forget.
Quizzes and mind maps
Switch to multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or map a chapter's grammar points as a mind map.
How it works
Upload your Genki pages
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of the lesson you're studying.
Review the generated cards
Check the vocabulary, kana and grammar cards against your textbook and edit anything that looks off.
Study on a schedule
Review in the browser each day, and let spaced repetition decide which cards come back first.
Build the set one lesson at a time. Start with the hiragana and katakana cards, then add vocabulary and the grammar patterns from each chapter. Keep kanji cards tied to the words that use them, so each card shows a reading, a meaning and an example sentence.
When a lesson ends, review its cards before the next one starts. Spaced repetition handles the rest, bringing back the items you are about to forget.

Frequently asked questions
Should I learn kana before kanji when using Genki flashcards?
Yes. Hiragana and katakana are the foundation for reading Genki vocabulary, so most learners drill them first. Add kanji cards alongside the vocabulary of each lesson once the kana feel automatic.
What should a good Genki vocabulary flashcard include?
Put the Japanese word on the front and the meaning on the back, with the reading if it is a kanji word. Adding one short example sentence helps you remember how the word is used in context.
Does DeckOwl include ready-made Genki decks?
No. DeckOwl generates flashcards from the material you upload, such as your textbook pages, slides or notes. You can study the cards in the browser on the free plan.

Yes. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are part of the Plus plan, which is $39/year or $7.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
