I’m only on level 5, but I’m starting to think that 50% of the Kanji are read as “kou” and another 20% are “sei”. OK OK that’s an exaggeration, but still I wonder. Is there a way to show ALL the Kanji with a given reading? Next up, is the pronunciation of “ga”. This is not unique to WaniKani, I’…

I’m not sure if there’s specifically a way to show everything with a given reading, but the search bar on the dashboard should be close to that. You may occasionally get results where they taught a different primary reading, and so it might look like こう is unrelated initially. For the nasal pronunc…

Very interesting on “ga”, strange that I’ve been studying Japanese here for a few months and that’s the first I have heard about that. WaniKani search (you have to enter it in hiragana) on: kou: 272 results sei: 178 results They are indeed popular! DL

[image] Most Common Readings (Stats) Japanese Language TLDR: When you can’t remember the reading of a word, say こうてい. Or かえる, if it ends with る wink I’m of course joking, but these are the most common vocabulary readings: 8 words are read こうてい : 皇帝肯定公邸工程行程校庭高低公定 8…

It may or may not be useful for you, but there is a cool Phonetic-Semantic Composition add-on. It shows you kanji that have the same radicals, and the same readings. It helps you see patterns where certain radicals tell you the reading. I think it’s mostly useful for kanji with many radicals.

If I don’t know the reading, I just type kou and see what happens. :wink: There’s only about 330ish different on-yomi readings used in common kanji, so if you think they are starting to feel repetitive, you are right! If you feel like you are always typing shi, and shyou, it’s because you are. I’ve…

This sort of answers your first question. I can’t vouch for its methodology, but I found it interesting. I’ve seen a similar chart in the past, but it didn’t come up immediately on Google. http://funbit.info/kanji/readings/on_table_by_grade.html It has こう as the second most common reading (by numb…
