Yeah, as stated before, Wanikani does teach you some vocab, but it’s mainly to cement the readings and uses of the kanji in different formats. While some of it is common, alot isn’t, and you 100% do need a different source to help increase your vocabulary off wanikani. Wanikani is more of a starting point, a toe in the water of an entire language, similar to how you weren’t taught how to say every word youve ever come across as a sight word in kindergarten, you were taught how to read, sound things out and look them up if you were unsure. then you were sent to go and find books etc. to widen your vocabulary.
Also, since it’s your first post:
