I didn’t have this problem at all. Honestly, I’m a bit confused as to how you did. Don’t you have to think about what the answer is before you think about/start typing it?

Well, not exactly. When I saw the kana I just instantly knew which fingers I had to move, because I’ve done it so often (I did several sessions with 1000+ items). I did think the sound in my had, but it happended simultaneously while I was typen and when I encountered kana in the wild, the only thing that came up in my mind were the fingers I had to move to type the kana at first.

The keystrokes in this instance just qualify as a physical mnemonic. They are harmless. You might have to remember a story for some kanji to recall the meaning in WK, but it falls away naturally after a while. You don’t then turn around and say WK harms your learning because you have to, at first, remember the story mnemonic. The physical mnemonic works the exact same way. Physical mnemonics have been used in math for thousands of years.

That’s really interesting, I never thought about it that way. I was actually worried while using realkana that I only learn the keystrokes to get the right answer. That’s why I supplemented my studies with the kanji study app.
