Just started Genki I myself a couple of weeks ago, might join you for Lesson 3, once I finish the WK exercises for Lesson 2.
So far it’s been mostly reviewing concepts I’ve already learned in Japanese class a couple years ago in University.
Btw, are you making an effort to memorize all the vocab in the lessons or just the ones that are mostly featured in the reading comprehension texts? I find it kinda distracting to memorize this vocab when I either learn the hiragana spelling or the Kanji… and I’d rather leave Kanji for Wanikani.
Should I wait until I get a few more levels higher in WK?
I am also reviewing what I learned in university, but it seems that I’ve already forgotten some of the subtle grammar points already (like using ga instead of wa for certain question sentences).
And I am terrible at vocab memorization, so I just note whether the vocab is in WK and which level I’ll learn it in. I don’t try to memorize the vocab, especially when the words are mainly for students.
You can technically start it at any WK level, it just depends on how patient you are with looking up kanji while you study grammar. tbh I found it much easier to study after reaching level 20, but I also was able to study back when I was level 5. I got all the way up to Lesson 8 in Genki and then got distracted with leveling up quickly
it’d be a bit of effort, but if you use Anki, you could try downloading @Kreasu and @hinekidori’s G-Anki deck and edit all the kanji out lesson by lesson (so only take care of lesson one’s unfamiliar kanji vocab when you start doing lesson one, etc…). if there’s an easier way to do that, i wouldn’t know—i’m not really an Anki power user, haha.
alternatively, you could suspend the cards you don’t care about.
Suppose the chart describes how often you do each activity. Answer the following questions using the chart. Use echo question* appropriately when answering the question.
That is actually great. Yea, I notice a lot of vocab is very specific to students so far but I just pretend I’m still in University lol
I’m a little bit behind on the Workbook exercises for lesson 2 but I should be able to catch up with the worksheet you posted until the end of the week/weekend?
