Create a Deck & Add Cards

Name your deck and start adding flashcards. Each card has a front (the word or expression you want to learn) and a back (the meaning or translation).

For Japanese learners:

Type kanji with furigana using bracket syntax:

明日[あした] 漢字[かんじ] 勉強[べんきょう]

Smart features:

  • Auto-translate — type the front, generate the back instantly with one tap
  • Auto-furigana — add reading aids with one click
  • Bulk import — paste CSV data to create many cards at once

Configure

Set Pronunciation & Voice

For each card, choose the pronunciation language. This determines the TTS voice that reads the card aloud. FluentCards supports 20+ languages with neural voices.

Japanese (ja-JP) Korean (ko-KR) Chinese (zh-CN) Spanish (es-ES) French (fr-FR)

Enable AI mnemonics per card for visual memory aids on difficult words.

Learn

Study with Spaced Repetition

Open a deck and tap "Study." FluentCards shows you cards due for review. Try to recall the answer, then flip the card to check. Rate your recall:

Again

Forgot completely

Hard

Barely remembered

Good

Recalled with effort

Easy

Instant recall

Your rating tells the FSRS algorithm how well you know the card. It adjusts the next review interval accordingly — easier cards appear less often, harder ones more frequently.

Improve

Track & Improve

Watch your retention grow. The FSRS algorithm shows you detailed metrics:

  • Due count — how many cards are ready for review today
  • Stability trend — how your memory strength is improving over time
  • Difficulty distribution — which cards challenge you most
  • Estimated retention — your predicted recall rate

Consistent daily practice — even 10 minutes — yields remarkable results. Most users see significant improvement within two weeks.
