Is there a free German Anki deck?
Yes — every one of the 263 packs can be downloaded free for Anki. Open a pack and choose the Anki download: a tab-separated Front/Back file that Anki imports in one step (File → Import). Each card has the German word with its article, the English meaning, the plural and an example sentence.
Can I study the German flashcards online without Anki?
Yes. Every pack has an online flashcard mode — flip the cards in your browser, on a phone or a computer, with audio for every word. No account needed.
Which pack should a beginner start with?
Start with the everyday packs — greetings and goodbyes, days of the week, fruit, the parts of the body — and learn every noun with its article. For a full beginner route, the free A1 course teaches the grammar and the words together.
