Hiya. I just want to vent something. :rage: The biggest reason I get things wrong is not that I forget the meaning of a kanji, it’s that I forget the specific thing WaniKani wants me to put. E.g.: I put ‘verb’ instead of ‘to verb’, or ‘synonymous meaning’ instead of ‘WaniKani-accepted meaning’ (wh…

[image] dts: or on’yomi instead of kun’yomi (for a kanji that clearly has a common on’yomi, e.g. 色, but WaniKani teaches kun’yomi only). The kanji item 色 will accept いろ, and it will ask you to try again if you input しょく or しき. 色 would likely only have the reading しょく when it’s in a compound …

Whoah! That’s some dangerous stuff! Power corrupts… However, thanks! … I guess it’d resolve my issues indeed.

@色… yeah, when it’s in the vocab section of course. But in the kanji section WK usually wants the on’yomi even for kanji that usually are on’yomi only in combination with others. But then, randomly, there are kanji where they teach you only the kun’yomi, at least where I am now, e.g. for 色, 声, 林, 見 …

Yes, definitely should have put a disclaimer on there. It is only to be used if you know the temptation will not be too strong to handle. :wink:

[image] dts: yeah, when it’s in the vocab section of course Well, you won’t get a chance to try again if it’s in the vocab, only kanji. If you answer しょく or しき for the vocab, it’ll just be a wrong answer. [image] dts: But in the kanji section WK usually wants the on’yomi even for kanji t…

:relaxed: Thanks! Thanks for listening, sharing your thoughts, and even pointing out solutions! It’s actually quote uplifting to know that I’m not doing this alone.

It’s also important to always be aware what is being asked in the quiz. Inputting the reading when the meaning is asked, and viceversa, for example, is a thing to watch out for. Also, if the background is pink, it’s a kanji quiz. Those are more lenient with readings, like Leebo mentioned. But if it’…

Having to put “to …” when it’s a verb is just not going to go away. You’ll get used to that. I hear you on the synonym thing, though. After a long break it’s frustrating to me right now that I’m wrong with “malicious intent” and the correct answer is something like “evil intent, malicous”. But th…

I have the same issue and it can be really discouraging to get a failure when you put the right answer but misread the directions.

Grrrrrrr WaniKani!
