Doing Vocabulary

Yeah, but then you’d also get even more people complaining that WK is making the system slow to drain people’s wallets. I think this is one of those darned if they do, darned if they don’t type of situations. But not a bad idea, honestly. Sometimes I’d wish the system actually did work that way.

Most users don’t use reorder scripts and wouldn’t notice any difference.

Sure, I’m just saying that there are already people like this:

So I noticed after level 14 each Wanikani level is split up so that you learn the majority of new kanji in the level set all at once, and then have to wait a week going over three or four kanji before you can advance to the next level. This is really unfortunate and honestly seems like a blatant business strategy. It effectively artificially doubles the time it should take to complete a level under the thin veil of having to learn three or four kanji which use radicals that have been learned i…

This change would just be another excuse for these same type of people to complain about how WK is supposedly milking them for cash.

But as I said, I would like the change personally.

I may be in the minority but I gladly threw my money at WaniKani and wouldn’t and won’t stop doing until I am done. They gave me an amazing tool that did two things I never thought possible.

1. Got me off my…back end… and started me learning again
2. Gave me the ability to learn and RETAIN Kanji

But that’s me and I am doing this for me.

The vocab helps because it will reinforce your kanji learning and makes it easier to remember kanji readings/meanings when you get them back for reviews later.

Hi! Thanks for the responses. Yes, I do vocabulary, and yes I also used the reorder script( I was following a guide). I guess my problem was, I do the radicals and kanji first before going to do the vocabulary. However, I only limit myself to a few items per day(say 15 items), so what happens is, before I run out of my vocabulary, I level up and new vocabulary is added. So yeah I was wondering if this was happening to other people, and what they were doing, like maybe have separate sessions or days where I focus entirely on vocabulary and not do kanji, or something like that.

I guess based on some of the responses, the answer to my question would be to try to do all my vocabs before leveling up.

[caladan22ph]

Yeah, I was actually surprised at first that I didn’t require vocabs to level up.

The solution to that is to either do more lessons or slow down on the leveling. I’ve found that 24 lessons per day works well.
