Why build your own Japanese deck

japanese language flashcards made from your own textbook chapter or class slides cover the words and grammar your instructor actually tests, which matters more than a generic list of phrases. Pull the vocabulary, kanji readings and grammar patterns from each lesson, then review them in short daily sessions.

Cover hiragana, katakana and kanji readings from your lesson notes
Keep grammar patterns with example sentences on the back of each card
Review with spaced repetition so weak cards come back more often
Start free with 3 generations per month and study in the browser

Example Japanese language flashcards for beginners

What does 食べる (taberu) mean?To eat. It is a Group 2 ichidan verb, so the stem 食べ- stays the same before endings like ます.

Which kana is used for foreign loanwords such as コーヒー?Katakana, which is also used for emphasis and some sound words.

What is the difference between は (wa) and が (ga)?は marks the topic of a sentence, while が marks the grammatical subject, often new information or the answer to a who or what question.

What does 日 mean in 日本 (nihon)?Sun or day. 日本 means Japan and is literally written as origin of the sun.

What is the te-form used for?Connecting verbs (食べて), making requests (食べてください) and forming the progressive (食べている).

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain-text notes, or photos of textbook pages. Text is read from images, so scanned lesson pages can become cards too.

Spaced repetition

Cards return at the intervals your recall needs, so older vocabulary stays fresh while new lessons are added.

Anki export on Plus

Plus subscribers can export decks to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV and keep studying on other devices.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, text file or photo of your Japanese class notes.

Generate the cards

Review the flashcards the AI creates and remove any that do not match your course.

Study on a schedule

Study in the browser and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you are about to forget.

Ready-made decks exist and can help with common vocabulary, but they rarely match the chapter you are on. Generating cards from your own material keeps the deck aligned with your course and lets you add the kanji and example sentences you meet in class.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a Japanese language course?

Most learners do better with a few dozen new cards per lesson than with one large batch. Keep each deck tied to a single chapter so daily reviews stay manageable.

Should I learn hiragana and katakana before kanji flashcards?

Usually yes, because kana are the basis for reading most kanji compounds and furigana. Many beginners make a separate kana deck first and add kanji once the sounds feel automatic.

Can I export my Japanese flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. The Plus plan includes Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export and costs $39/year or $7.99/month.

Is there a free plan for making Japanese flashcards?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are not included. No credit card is needed to start.
