Why a custom deck beats a downloaded one

Many students want Mandarin flashcards PDF downloads, but a generic deck rarely matches the vocabulary in their own textbook or the characters their teacher covered this week. A custom set built from your material keeps the cards tied to the lessons you will actually be tested on.

Characters, pinyin and English meanings can be generated from your own lesson files.
Measure words and sentence patterns can be split into separate cards for focused practice.
Spaced repetition schedules reviews so you spend time on the characters you miss.
PDF export is available on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month for printing or sharing.

Example beginner Mandarin flashcards with pinyin

你好 (nǐ hǎo)?Hello. A general greeting you can use at any time of day.

谢谢 (xièxie)Thank you. It is often shortened in casual speech.

一本书 (yì běn shū)One book. 本 is the measure word used for books.

我是学生。(wǒ shì xuéshēng)I am a student. 是 links the subject to a noun.

What are the four main tones plus neutral in Mandarin?First high level, second rising, third dipping, fourth falling, plus the light neutral tone.

Generate the full set

Starts from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition, so handwritten-to-typed notes can still become cards.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at the right time, so characters you keep missing show up more often and the ones you know fade into longer gaps.

Export to PDF on Plus

Plus exports your deck as a PDF, along with DOCX, Anki and CSV. The free plan keeps studying in the browser.

How it works

Upload your vocabulary

Add a PDF of your textbook chapter, a slide deck, or a photo of your notes. Plain text works too.

Review the generated cards

Check the characters, pinyin and English meanings, then edit anything that does not match your course.

Study and export

Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export to PDF for printing on a Plus plan.

Good Mandarin cards usually pair the character with its pinyin and tone marks on one side and the meaning, plus a short usage example, on the other. Keeping the front simple lets you practice recall before you check the answer.

If you already have a PDF of a printable deck, you can upload it too and turn its contents into spaced repetition cards you can review on any device.

Frequently asked questions

How many Mandarin flashcards should I study each day?

Many beginners start with 10 to 20 new cards a day and keep the review load manageable. Spaced repetition handles when older cards come back, so you do not have to schedule them yourself.

Should Mandarin flashcards include tone marks and characters?

Yes, pairing the character with pinyin and tone marks helps you connect the sound and the written form. Adding the English meaning on the back lets you test recall in both directions.

Can I export my Mandarin flashcards to PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan allows 3 generations per month and studying in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
