When learning new vocab (I’m currently in a real vocab hole and apparently have to learn 450 (!!!) new words before Wanikani will give me any new kanji) I rarely even look at the context sentences as they nearly always include kanji that I don’t know. Ideally they would only show me things I know how to read, but failing that furigana readings would be very useful. I guess this is a big ask, but it would certainly be useful. As they stands they’re pointless, and rather demoralising. ---

Some are also incredibly long… Maybe it could be a preference we can turn on? Or a reveal on hover kind of thing? ---

There is a script that will add kanji information upon hovering and google audio: > [@\[UserScript\] Advanced Context Sentence](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-advanced-context-sentence/35079): > > Advanced Context Sentence We all know Wanikani’s weakness, context sentences. I bet many of us just skip them entirely most of the time. This script enhances the context sentences by introducing two features: Recognizable Kanji Highlighting Highlighting the kanji you already learned and should be able to recognize. this will encourage you to read the context sentence just to try and remember all the kanji you learned in it. Forgot the kanji? just click on it and you will be taken to the ka… ---

Furigana? Just use a dictionary extension like Rikaichamp, problem solved. ---

I think adding furigana would be helpful. The context sentences are selectable though, so you can copy-paste words you don’t know into [jisho.org](http://jisho.org) or some other online dictionary if you’re stumped. That might help make them a bit more useful. I think any reading experience you get is helpful, even if you have to look up some words. Not saying you have to read all of them (or should) but yeah, I hope that helps. ---

I use Rikaikun and jisho for example sentences, but when there are multiple readings, or long sentences it takes a while. I think adding furigana would be a great feature and I would really like to see it implemented. ---

This would be nice. I’ve found, though, that looking at their context sentences is 90% a waste of time. ---
