How to study Mandarin numbers with flashcards

Good mandarin numbers flashcards do more than list 1 to 10. Most learners get stuck on the rules that follow: how 11 through 19 are built from 十 (shí), why 20 is 二十 (èr shí) rather than 两十, and how 两 (liǎng) replaces 二 before measure words like 个 (ge), as in 两个人 (liǎng ge rén) for two people.

  • Build cards from the number chart or vocab list your teacher actually uses.
  • Include the Hanzi, pinyin and a short English meaning on every card.
  • Add a few cards for measure word pairs such as 两个 and 三本 so the counting rules stick.
  • Review for a few minutes each day rather than one long session before a quiz.
Example Mandarin numbers flashcards
How do you say 11 in Mandarin?十一 (shí yī). Build it as ten (十) plus one (一).
How do you say 20 in Mandarin?二十 (èr shí). Two tens, with 二 used for the number two.
How do you say 100 in Mandarin?一百 (yì bǎi). A hundred is written with 百 after the number one.
How do you say 0 in Mandarin?零 (líng). It is used as a placeholder, as in 一百零五 (yì bǎi líng wǔ) for 105.
Why is 两 used instead of 二 before 个 in 两个人?两 (liǎng) is the usual form of two before most measure words, so 两个人 (liǎng ge rén) means two people.

Built from your material

Upload the number chart from your textbook, a lecture slide or handwritten notes. Flashcards come from the content you already have.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer intervals, so your review time goes to the numbers you still mix up.

Export when you need it

Study in the browser on the free plan. Paid plans export to Anki and CSV, and PDF or DOCX for printing a number drill sheet.

How it works

Upload your notes or a photo

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the Hanzi, pinyin and meaning on each card and edit anything that looks off before you start studying.

Study with spaced repetition

Rate each card as you go. Hard numbers return more often until they become automatic.

Start with the small set, then add one layer at a time: tens, hundreds, thousands, and then zero and place-holding rules like 一百零五 (yì bǎi líng wǔ) for 105. Practice reading phone numbers, prices and years aloud when you flip a card, since spoken number patterns are what you need in conversation. Your own material can be the source, so the cards match the exact format your course uses.

Frequently asked questions

How do I memorize Mandarin numbers past 10?

Learn the pattern rather than each number alone: 十一 is ten plus one, 二十 is two tens, and 一百零五 uses 零 to bridge a empty tens place. Flashcards that show the pattern on the back help you build larger numbers without relearning them.

How many number flashcards should I study each day?

A short daily set of 15 to 25 cards works well for most learners, with the hardest cards repeated more often. Spaced repetition handles the scheduling, so you do not need to sort the deck by hand.

Can I export Mandarin number flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser, but exports are not included.

Is there a free plan for DeckOwl?

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