I havn’t run into this issue with any of the other hiragana I’ve typed in. ---

I see, thank you, I wish waniKani was as good about teaching hirigana as it is about kanji. learning the readings is 1000 times harder than meanings. ---

The Wanikani developers actually did make a hiragana guide if you weren’t aware. You can get it free on their blog: > **[Learn Hiragana: The Ultimate Guide](https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/)** > > Start reading hiragana today. Most people waste months, but our mnemonics and step-by-step worksheets will have you reading hiragana in a few hours. ---

Really should learn hiragana and get it down well before starting wanikani. Should use an app like lingodeer, or a book like genki to get a foothold in the door with some basic grammar and vocab. That is what I suggest at least, ive only been learning Japanese for a few months now and still at an early level. I would wait off learning kanji until you know some the basics I think. The combo hiragana is little tricky but must learn them too, many words use them. ---

if its any consolation, my hiragana and katakana were terrible prior to kanji (and I actively studied them prior) but since Wanikani makes you use it, I’ve become quiet proficient at both now. just make sure when you are comfortable with hiragana to switch to the katakana input for katakana practice `https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-katakana-madness/15716` I can pound these out in under 90 seconds now [https://www.csus.edu/indiv/s/sheaa/projects/genki/hiragana-timer.html](https://www.csus.edu/indiv/s/sheaa/projects/genki/hiragana-timer.html) [https://www.csus.edu/indiv/s/sheaa/projects/genki/katakana-timer.html](https://www.csus.edu/indiv/s/sheaa/projects/genki/katakana-timer.html) ---

haha just made a mistake similar to yours so i guess we are in the same boat WK asked for the meaning of "三人” and i entered "さんいん” instead of "さんにん” ---

The difference will become necessarily clear when you get to words like 自由 (じゆう), freedom, vs say 十 (じゅう), ten. Having the い sound in there matters sometimes. Wait til you have to mess around with stuff like 一ヶ月。Fun times ahead. ---
