Create Your Own Flashcards

Make a set of flashcards for your lesson: a word, a phrase, a question or a picture on the front; its meaning, a translation, the answer or a picture on the back, and an example sentence if you like. Paste a whole word list at once or start from a template, try the cards, then publish the set to share its link or print the cards.

1. Pick a template, or fill in the cards: a word, a question or a picture on the front; its meaning, a translation or the answer on the back.
2. Add an example sentence or a picture to any card – or paste a whole list with Edit as a list.
3. Press Try it to flip through the cards, then give the set a title and publish it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I put on a flashcard?

On the front: a word, a phrase, a question or a picture, or a picture with a word. On the back: the meaning, a translation, the answer or a picture, and an optional example sentence. A set can have up to 100 cards; you need at least two cards with both sides filled in to publish it.

How do I add a whole word list at once?

Press Edit as a list and paste your words, one card per line: the front, then the back, then an example – separated by a vertical bar (cat | a small animal | My cat is black.). Columns copied from Excel or Google Sheets work too, and so does a simple dash: hot – cold. Pictures you have already added stay with their cards.

Are there ready-made flashcard templates?

Yes. Press Start from a template to see them by topic and level: picture cards for young learners, free time activities, weather, opposites, jobs, feelings, phrasal verbs and idioms, irregular verbs, comparatives, and listening sets for numbers and spelling. A template fills in the cards and the settings; change anything before you publish.

Can the flashcards be read aloud?

Yes – with the browser's own voice, in a British or an American accent, so there is nothing to record. Every card gets a listen button, and Auto-read says each card as it opens. In the listening mode the front shows no text at all: students hear the word, write it or say what it means, then flip the card to check. Text that is not in English, such as a translation, is not read aloud.
