5,012 free French flashcards that come back at the right time
The most common words first, each with audio, scheduled with spaced repetition so you review a word just before you'd forget it. Make your own decks too.
How the cards work
- Three ways to recall: French to English, English to French (typed, with accent help), and filling the gap in a sentence.
- FSRS scheduling: rate each card Again, Hard, Good or Easy, and the next review is timed for you.
- A sensible daily limit on new words, so reviews never pile up; extra study when you want more.
- Stats: cards per day, what's due, recall rate, your hardest words and progress per deck.

Questions
Are there free French flashcards with spaced repetition?
Yes. SparkAI has 5,012 French flashcards scheduled with FSRS, a modern spaced-repetition algorithm, free during the beta. Each card comes back just before you'd forget it.
Which French words should I learn first?
The most frequent ones: a few hundred common words cover a large share of everyday French. SparkAI's core decks are ordered by frequency, and themed decks add topics like food, travel and work.
Can I make my own French flashcards?
Yes. Add a word and the app suggests its meaning (or the AI fills in a meaning and an example sentence), paste a whole list, organise cards into your own decks, and add words straight from what you read.
Is it like Anki?
It uses the same kind of scheduling (FSRS is also available in Anki), but the decks are ready-made, every card has audio, and the cards are tied to the lessons and stories in the course.
