Hello everyone, I’m trying to stockpile more vocab knowledge, to reach a level where I can start identifying the words that occur frequently. Most of the people are pretty happy with Anki decks for this. 3 most popular versions to this are: 2k,6k,10k. Being a beginner, I picked up the 2k deck and …

I had a similar issue when I tried the core decks. You could try torii , it goes through the core 10k, but you have the option to set it to show the words in order of kanji learned in wanikani. Therefore, you will only be seeing words with kanji you learn. It’s not based on frequency this way, so you…

Wanikani will get you 8000 very useful words. At level 7, the workload has not yet gotten very large. But it will likely get to 200-300 reviews per day. See What level to get 200+ reviews each day? - #16 by bolaurent . I think you should just stick to wanikani, and meanwhile work on grammar (which w…

So, I’ve been (slowly, see bolaurent’s comments about being busy) working on the Core 2k6k deck and the Tango N5 deck. The Tango deck is so easy and gentle it’s not a lot of trouble so just do that one in order. Core can be daunting when you don’t know the kanji, though. I wrote a script to assig…

Okay, will definitely check that out :slight_smile: But what I actually meant to ask was, at what level can does tackling additional vocab decks make sense? Because regardless of the platform, the content is bound to remain the same right? So, if the vocab and the sentences have complex kanji - ti…

Yes, Exactly! Core 2k is quite overwhelming for me Would you happen to have the link for Tango N5 deck? Also, the script you talked about sounds super useful, is it published on net? :stuck_out_tongue:

From what I’ve seen, people jump into WK with a variety of experiences beforehand so hard to gauge. I see users who have WK as a primary focus and blast off to level 60. I think this has benefits on keeping the SRS consistent and getting a kanji base more quickly. If you have certain goals like read…

Actually, yeah. It would be quite inaccurate to judge/generalize someone’s ability by wanikani’s level. There’s grammar, context and a whole lot of other things. Thanks for pointing that out So, around N3 or N2 trying to look for additional sources of vocab makes more sense. Until then, sticking t…

I can recommend immersion, just read/watch/listen to what you want and you will learn the words plus it’s much more fun than grinding flashcards. Of course it is difficult starting off, I used lingq.com ( https://readlang.com/ is a cheaper alternative) as sort of “training wheels”. You can input Japa…

Thank you very much! Will check this out Yep, better to atleast have n5 under the belt first :joy:

Consider https://kitsun.io/, it’s a far better platform to Anki IMO with an input format similar to WK. They also have 10k plus any Anki import, super easy Jisho card generation among many other things. Check out the community decks they have as well.
