I wondered if there was some kind of add-on that allows you to learn items of vocabulary which are still not available (e.g. I’m level 15 and want to add some word which appears on level 33)
As I’m studying Japanese in my university, we have lists of vocabulary to learn each week.
A lot of words from those lists appear later on in Wanikani, and being able to study those in-app would be very practical as I have a conséquent amount of stuff to learn.
The advantage of Anki is that it’s sooo customizable. You can either use the (already really good) pre-made settings, or change it to your likings. I use both WaniKani and Anki for quite some time now and it’s really like having the best of both worlds!
That’s good to hear from someone who uses both. I’m using the Tobira textbook and I guess there are pre-made lists of vocabulary from the book, I’ll definitely look into it!
Yes, its great that WK is completely open with its information and nothing is really “gated”. Only the SRS-app-part is restricted to your current progress.
OP: there are several threads on here that talks about the best use of Anki. I suggest searching the forums for more tips. I’m sure you’ll find a number of them.
If you only want kanji and vocab, why not just input those in KameSame? I do this for words I encounter outside of WaniKani, when I do reading practice. It works well and it gets combined with the reviews I have from WaniKani.
I prefer it over anki, but maybe I haven’t given it enough of a chance.
Another option is HouHou if you have a Windows PC. It’s a dictionary/SRS system, and it has customizable SRS levels, with one of the built-in ones a clone of WK’s system.
