App / Website for WaniKani listening prac?

Unsolicited advice incoming. Sorry for not answering the actual question.

I used to do this for the vocabulary I learned via Anki when I first started out, seemed like a great idea at the time, but there’s a reason I stopped:
Opportunity cost. You can only spend so much time a day studying, and imo using it to quiz yourself on vocabulary in three different ways really isn’t the best way to spend it. The issue of “not being able to recognize words when listening” resolves itself fairly quickly once you start listening to actual Japanese. Instead of even more SRS’ing, spend the time on e.g. some easy podcasts and slowly work your way up to more difficult material.

Same thing applies to KaniWani. Is your time really better spent learning 10 words with both KW and WK instead of learning 15 but with only WK? I don’t think so. But instead of writing another paragraph, let me borrow someone elses words.
