Hanasu App

Hey fellow Wanikani learners! :tada:

I’m excited to share that I’m currently building an app to help us master Wanikani vocabulary and context sentences using SRS—just like we do with kanji, but for real-world usage!

Why I’m Building This:

Like many of you, I’ve wanted a better way to practice vocabulary in context—not just memorizing words in isolation. Since there aren’t many tools for Wanikani’s sentences (and I got tired of waiting!), I decided to take matters into my own hands. This app will finally give us a structured way to drill sentences so we can learn how words are actually used.

Core Features:

:white_check_mark: SRS-powered sentence practice (fill-in-the-blank & multiple-choice)
:white_check_mark: Vocabulary + context sentence reviews pulled from Wanikani
:white_check_mark: Progress tracking (similar to WKStats)

Future Improvements (Coming Soon!):

:soon_arrow: Speaking practice! – I’m experimenting with ways to improve speaking skills, like:

  • Repeating sentences aloud with feedback
  • Conversation prompts to simulate real dialogue
  • (Maybe even pronunciation checks? :thinking: Still exploring!)

Want to Be a Beta Tester?

Edit: Im working on Andriod version first, then Ill move onto Apple, probably last will be web.*

If this sounds useful and you’d like early access, just reply below! I’d love feedback from learners who, like me, want stronger sentence and speaking skills.

Important Note: This is a third-party app (not affiliated with Wanikani)—it just uses the API to help us study smarter.

Thanks, and happy studying! :books::sparkles:

Yes, would be great to be a beta tester

Yes, I would like to be a beta-tester too but… what platform are we talking about :sweat_smile: ? Web, iOS, Android ?
