I was wondering at what level have you seen every kanji? Is it level 60, or do you see them all before that, and you hit level 60 once the rest are mastered. I just hit level 2 and I have 60 apprentice and 43 Guru’d, so that means I’ve seen 100 already out of the 2000 already?

Kanji and vocab aren’t the same thing. :slight_smile: WK teaches about 2.000 kanji and about 6.000 vocab that uses those kanji. So you’ll learn the last of the WK kanji at level 60.

6,000 vocab words impresses me. I only really hear of Wanikani as being great for Kanji but if it teaches you 6,000 words, then it must be great for vocab as well?

It’s pretty great for vocab, yes. It’s just that the vocab works to reinforce the kanji, and they don’t teach any kanji-less vocab. :slight_smile: Also, the vocab is not needed to progress, so you could technically not learn any of it and still get to level 60. (Which you can’t do with kanji.)

It does teach you a lot of vocab but like Kazzeon mentioned, you’ll be missing a lot of words that are kana only. I highly recommend Torii for vocabulary. There’s both an app as well as a PC version that you can sync up. It’s free, too! It works in a similar way as WaniKani does: Learn lessons, an…

Also, kanji vocab are skewed on average toward being more formal, literary, or antiquated. So WaniKani teaches a lot of words that will sound a bit stiff in every day conversation, but you may see them in books, newspapers, etc. WaniKani doesn’t focus on teaching you how to use the words either. Fo…

What website would you recommend to learn what’s not on WK?

I personally use various books to learn how to how to use words, such as thesauruses and vocab-focused books. For websites, iKnow is more vocab-focused than WK. But I haven’t personally used it.

That looks super interesting, thanks for sharing. I’ll give it a go starting tomorrow. Any recommendations on doing the 10k, wanikani mode, or kana mode?

It depends on what your goals are. I personally am using Torii to both review as well as learn new vocabulary, so I’m doing all 10k mode, including wanikani and katakana words. Of course you can exclude the WaniKani words if they feel like too much (and besides you’ll be reviewing them on WaniKani, …
