Why your own grammar material beats a generic deck

Your class handout on te-form, the chapter on particles and the slide on conditionals are the pages your quiz will come from. Japanese grammar flashcards built from those exact pages cover what you will be tested on, not a generic list of patterns.

Cards built from your own textbook, slides or notes
One grammar pattern per card, with an example sentence on the back
Spaced repetition that brings back the patterns you miss

Example Japanese grammar flashcards

What does the particle は (wa) mark in a sentence?It marks the topic of the sentence, as in 私は学生です (I am a student).

How do you form the te-form of 食べる (taberu)?食べて (tabete). Ichidan verbs drop る and add て.

How does ～から differ from ～ので when giving a reason?～から gives a more direct or subjective reason, while ～ので states a cause more softly and politely.

What does ～たことがある express?Past experience, as in 行ったことがあります (I have been there before).

What does ～てもいい express?Permission, as in 食べてもいいですか (May I eat it?).

Generate the full set

Works from your material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages and get cards drawn from them.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and the ones you know fade into longer intervals so review time goes to weak patterns.

Exports when you need them

Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan, or study in the browser on the free plan.

How it works

Upload your pages

Add the chapter, handout or slide deck that covers the grammar points you are studying.

Review the generated cards

Check the front and back of each card and remove anything you do not need before you start.

Study on a schedule

Spaced repetition decides which cards come up each day, so the patterns you miss appear more often.

Grammar is easier to keep when each pattern appears with a real sentence. A card for ～てしまう works better with a line like 忘れてしまった (I forgot it, and it is gone) than with the bare formula alone.

Printable sheets are useful for a quick look, but they do not adjust to your course. Generating cards from your own notes lets you add the patterns your teacher emphasized and skip the ones you already know.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for Japanese grammar?

Start with one chapter, or about 20 to 30 cards per session, with one pattern per card. Spaced repetition then shows weak patterns more often, so you do not need to study every card every day.

Should I learn grammar patterns with example sentences or rules alone?

Use both, because a pattern like ～ておく sticks better in a real sentence than as a bare formula. Keep the rule short and add one natural example on the back of each card.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included in the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Does it work with photos of textbook pages?

Yes, images are read with text recognition, so photos of pages can become cards. Check the generated cards before studying, since recognition can miss handwriting or small print.
