Why generate your own English flashcards

A generic sheet of English vocabulary cards rarely matches the novel, grammar unit or word list your class is using. You can build printable English flashcards from your own material instead: upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of a handout, and the cards are drawn from its text.

Spaced repetition on Plus so review happens when you are about to forget

Frequently asked questions

How many English vocabulary cards should I make for one unit?

Start with the words and grammar rules your teacher named, and split long lists into batches of about twenty. Smaller sets are easier to review every day.

What is a good way to study English grammar with flashcards?

Put the rule on the front and a corrected example on the back, such as a sentence showing subject-verb agreement. Review in short sessions and say each answer aloud before you flip the card.

Can I print my flashcards?

Yes, PDF export is included with the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations a month, and no credit card is needed.
