Grammar Deck N5-N1: Translation Deck
This is a reverse production deck to practice grammar output. This is the same content as the comprehension deck and can be worked in tandem.
The front card works on a hint system of the grammar point (to get rid of synonym hell ) with the idea of forcing sentence memorization for language output using grammar points. The text entry can worked several ways: kana only via english keyboard (regular), kanji based sentence or consideration.
JLPT Sensei link, BunPro link (if matched) is in toolbar. In addition there is BunPo Check link as a way to check production if not match to entry against their AI model. If you want synonyms, you can add your own synonyms or offer a proposed addition to the community deck.
All audio entries are work in progress, will update accordingly.
Get deck here
Note: This is a challenging deck, I suggestions are to go slow to take the time to learn the translation using the hint system and pair w/ comprehension deck for reinforcement. Also make use of the synonym add-on features and if you have suggestions/question regarding alternative translations, please post here or propose changes within the card.
Description
Grammar Sentence Production deck is sibling deck to Recognition + Listening Deck.
How to Use this Deck:
Deck templates are separated by N Level (sentences) or grammar point alone (vocab) which is also tagged by N level. Number tags are aligned with JLPT senseiās grammar number listed on their website as well as sentence example #
There is also a BunPro hyperlink for grammar info reference (if entry matched to BPās list) and can be used alongside as the recognition deck to compliment productive entry practice.
Production Sentence / Translation can use either kana only (english keyboard) or Japanese. Suggest alternatives and will check them & add them for deck updates via Actions ā Propose Change
Also Bunpo Check Link for sentence checks if grammar correct but not an acceptable entry.
*āAI-powered Japanese comprehensionā.
ęę³ć¼CHECK lets you check your Japanese sentences for grammatical errors using an AI model.
Just type in the box and hit ćć§ććÆ. Youāll get a result in a few seconds. Any errors will be underlined: you can click on them to see the suggested edit. If there were no errors, youāll see a tick in the corner. Really short sentences wonāt be checked.

As always, thanks for sharing your hard work!
New day, new update!

As usual, you can read all about it in our changelog:
Easy just learn all the vocab you know
I keep seeing people bring up MM in other threads
and as much as I think itās fair to give critique about WK, (as well as say āoh this service has this feature/I find it usefulā) I worry about people saying āWK is for losers, MM is where itās at ā a bit too much and upsetting mods/WK old timers
Iād hate to cause resentment when, at least for now, these two services can exist together, not entirely as competition
I may be overly anxious about this
I guess I just feel we shouldnāt be so gung-ho when MM is a new/in beta service that has gotten a lot of itās newest members through this forum (unlike anki which was created before WK and is probably going to survive the heat death of the universe)
Agreed. Itās fine to mention a new service in a dedicated thread, but spamming about it everywhere is just tacky. If one hates WK so much they should by all means use something else, but staying on WKās forum only to moan about it is rude.
idk I think if you have negative feedback to give, the forum is the right place for it
but naming another (especially newer) service as a āI donāt need you bc I have this!ā
kinda makes me think likeā¦
People are going to start seeing that platform badly
Iām trying to find the post, did someone actually say this? From the Discord to the threads, I never caught this extreme sentimentā¦in fact, I usually see paying WK users on both platforms that discuss differences from what Iāve seen.
Some of feature requests I see here are beyond what the platform was intended for; it would almost have to get rebuilt for those asks. Coincidently, MM is getting built with those requests in mind. And to your point, if WK doesnāt intend on making those features then there is room for all these platforms, a user base can just gravitate to what motivates them best (which is highly variable from what Iāve seen, to each their own).
But I donāt see the harm in recommending other services that help learners find what they are looking for. As an OG legacy service, WK funnels in a lot of new learners as a first stopā¦probably an advantage they will always have no matter who complaints about what, their future is probably just fine no matter how many scripts break. And clearly there will always be developers to contribute to 3rd party upkeep.
MM is still extremely small and pretty vulnerable even though the features in beta already out perform alot of what is out thereā¦but if it doesnāt get supported, it may not last despite all the highly active efforts put forth and this largely due to awareness that the platform even exists. Certainly the developer-customer relations have been night/day, pretty hard to ignore so canāt be surprise if talked about. The MM roadmap has been really solid thus farā¦and that something that alot of services have had a hard time adhering to (of just having a road map in general).
