Making your own Swiss German flashcards

Swiss German is spoken every day but rarely written, so a textbook word list often misses what you hear at a bakery counter or on a train platform. Swiss German flashcards work best when they come from material you already have, such as a course handout, a teacher's dialect list, or photos of your own notes.

  • Use your own course handouts, slides or notes as the source
  • Keep dialect and Standard German cards clearly labeled
  • Review hard cards more often with spaced repetition
  • Start free with 3 generations per month and no credit card

Why does written Swiss German avoid the letter 'ß'?Switzerland uses 'ss' in all writing, so 'Strasse' replaces 'Straße'.

How it works

Add your Swiss German material

Upload a course handout, a dialect phrase list, slides, or a photo of your notes.

Generate the flashcards

The AI pulls out terms and phrases and writes a question or term on the front and the answer on the back.

Review on a schedule

Study the deck in your browser, and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you miss.

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or image, and the tool builds question-and-answer cards you can review with spaced repetition. If you have a printable list instead, you can still turn it into cards that match how you study.

Standard German and Swiss German often differ in spelling and everyday vocabulary, so label each card by the variety it shows. That keeps your review clear when you see the same idea written two ways.

Frequently asked questions

How many Swiss German words should I learn each week?

There is no fixed number. Short daily sessions with a small set of new words and frequent review usually work better than long weekly cramming.

Is Swiss German the same as Standard German?

No. Swiss German is a group of dialects used in everyday speech, while Standard German is used in writing and formal settings across Switzerland. Many learners start with Standard German and then add common dialect phrases.

Can I export my Swiss German flashcards?

Exports are a paid feature. Plus, at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export along with unlimited generations.

Can I make flashcards from photos of my notes?

Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, and the free plan lets you study the resulting cards in the browser with 3 generations per month.
