Hi guys This might have been raised before but I couldn’t find it. How come WaniKani doesn’t have a feature where you listen to the audio (of Vocabulary) and have to type meaning and reading? They already have audio for all vocab items, so can’t be that hard to implement? Plus it will be super he…

I can’t figure out if you’re being sarcastic or not :rofl: FYI [image] lecturing 1. present participle of lecture 2. to give a formal talk to a group of people… To talk angrily or seriously to someone in order to criticize their behaviour : His parents use…
