After almost two years, I'm on level 42 of WaniKani. I also highly recommend it, especially if you use it in conjunction with reading. Satori Reader will link with your WaniKani so that the kanji you know will appear as kanji in your reading. I know a ton more vocabulary than a lot of learners around my level, so that's a good thing. It doesn't necessarily mean I remember words well enough to use them in speaking, of course, but at least I recognize them while listening or reading. I do wish that WK would let you go back and review finished levels whenever you want, because it is a long road, and it's really easy to forget kanji you no longer see (once they're burned). They are very committed to the spaced repetition learning model, though. I think there are Anki decks for each level. It's still a challenge to read, but I am extremely glad I started WK when I did, just a few months into my learning journey, mostly for the vocabulary.
Ever since switching my tamagochi over to japanese, i have learned to love kanji. Like seriously, 時 easy to pick out in a sentence right? Now when its とき buried in a huge paragraph of other syllables its hard to pick out.
I totally get that. It's just a matter of learning them.
Thanks, informational video.
I recommend the auto-commit userscript to help with the typo issue you mentioned and doing reviews faster
There are plugins to overwride it and mark it as correct if it was just a typo or if you already know something or dont want to learn a kanji
I'm also enjoying WK but early into the journey I transitioned into using one the the 3rd party apps another WK user created that allows for offline reviewing as well as other quality of life features like not being penalized for spelling errors etc it has sped up my review time drastically I can do 100+ in 10 minutes or so
Oh, that sounds useful!
Where can I find those 3rd party apps? I need that!
I recommend the userscript Double-Check for typos. You get the red marking if you spell it wrong, but you can actively decide to re-type the word or really take the mistake with its consequences. So you still can choose to be honest or more forgiving with yourself. :)
I didn't realize this was a thing. Thanks!
@@rukarindie You're welcome!
What do you use to learn grammer? Also do you use Anki or another SPR software to learn additional vocab, or do you just stick with WaniKani?
Watched the last 20 seconds and saw you linked the grammar resources. LMAO
@@jobothecute Hope they help!
Do you learn all Kanji from this? Am I able to read Manga/LNs after finishing this program?
From their FAQs:
"When you finish WaniKani, you’ll have learned over 2,000 kanji and over 6,000 Japanese vocabulary words.
The kanji you learn includes most of the Joyo kanji, but not all of them. Some Joyo kanji aren’t that useful, and some non-Joyo kanji are very useful! Our list was created with usefulness in mind.
You’ll learn the most common meanings and readings of each kanji and vocabulary word. This will help you read Japanese books, manga, websites, and more. You can also then apply this information to your speaking, reading, and listening practice.
WaniKani doesn’t teach you grammar. "
Where do you get the little Images of the Japanese people
Look up irasutoya. You'll find all free Japanese clip art stuff there.
is it free?
is it useful for LPT exams like 5 4 and 3?
For the vocabulary and kanji portion, easily. Might take a while depending on study pace. Here's a chart that someone posted on the wanikani forums regarding kanji coverage based on your level:
global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/0/f/b/0fb56464fd7a56e55501124f5b48140c3b621a1d.jpeg
Ahhh that’s great, I’m also studying next to this. And I’m planning to go to Japan for 6 weeks next year to practice speaking only lessons
How much time a day/week do you put into wanikani?
I don't actively study outside of new lessons, but I do try reading raw text more often than I used to which gets some practice in. Reviews though I tend to do as soon as I can, and where I'm at, I can get 70-150+ reviews in a day which is anywhere from 30 min to 1+ hours depending on how fast I get through them. What they do recommend that I didn't mention is that reviews should be done at least daily. Never skip learning day which is every day.
A good point to put out there is it takes an average english speaker 3000-4800 hours to become N1 rated. Thats right within that old saying "2000 hours in any subject makes you good at it."
If you put in an 30-60 minutes with wanikani and say 30-60 minutes with something like anki it will help speed things up a ton.
WK was one of the first instances I had used in my early stages of Japanese self studying.
I had used it until the first 3 free trial levels until I progressively became turned off by the sheer length of some mnemonics, as well as the rather abstract and with other resources dissimilarly defined words for many radicals/graphemes, such as 彐 shown in your video named as "Wolverine".
While I don't really have anything against some creatively playful expressions like this if it can help memorize stuff, I just cannot stand that many of these terms are absolutely WK-exclusively used, means that you certainly won't find the term "Wolverine" for 彐 anywhere else, while they might call it otherwise or better just go with the Kangxi radical list whose names for radicals are more commonly spread among different learning sources, where 彐 is "Pig snout" - OR alternatively, going with the real ethymology where it can picture a three-fingered claw like hand (where btw WK got the innuendo "Wolverine" from; also seen in kanji like 書く or 妻).
I, (un)luckily, involuntarily ended up memorizing a death load of different names for all kinds of radicals/graphemes in my years of kanji study while switching between abstract mnemonics and different interpretation of real ethymology, just so much, that I found myself having enough from artificial and brute-force "learning" like abstractly hammering SRS-related stuff into my head the most dry and out-of-context way possible, like WK and a lot of other "learning" sites/apps suggest as effective, as it is less than you might think over the long term..
Eventually, I ended up memorizing kanji by vocabulary that I encounter in real, non-staged sentences in books, anime, VNs, games u name it, and handwriting them into a notebook where I can pratice them over the time, which actually makes a lot if fun in a time where this is becoming more and more a lost art in itself.
So yes, I am able to write several hundreds of kanji and vocab from memory on paper - and I certainly don't believe in the slightest that apps like WK would've really helped me developing that skill at all.
Another point is why should I be learning all kinds of "important" kun-/on-readings for each and every kanji in advance?
Once I'll encounter a new reading of an already known kanji within vocab then this process takes place automatically without me wasting more cognitive energy than absolutely necessary.
All for an abstract way of learning where the effort of repetition is way higher while simultaneously being less fun?
No thanks, I think I'm just beyond that way of thinking for some time by now.
Still, gl to everyone finding their own best way of immersion.
