Does anyone know a good system for memorizing the words’ pronounciation and hiragana readings? I can recognize the Kanji well, but reading a word without Kanji or hearing it, even in context, is very difficult for me
Im wondering if theres some kind of flashcards or review I can do for the same vocabulary I have learned here, but through listening?
I’m mainly worried about the pronounciation being accurate with pitch accents, so I could start to get used to the difference between words spelled similarly.
If anyone has any advice on how to practice this, please let me know or give thoughts!
Im currently level 14 and am mostly looking to work on listening and speaking practice with my current vocabulary
I think Anki might be a good tool for that. I’m currently working on trying to build up one deck where I sync the unlocked items from WK down, and then export the kanji to a different deck where I modify it to require inputting both sets of readings for the kanji. I’ve also got a pitch accent deck from Dogen’s series, not sure if that’s available for free or if you have to subscribe to his Patreon, but until I found that I was going to create a second exported deck from the WK sync for pitch accent.
With that said, I’m still not quite done with it, let alone starting. I fortunately became an expert in Anki was able to get Microsoft’s Copilot to help me with the process significantly. The main thing I remember is there is a WaniKani Sync add-on that is the key to get the initial decks down from WK.
There are probably better ways of doing this, but I hope this at least is a good fallback plan if not the ideal solution. Good luck and feel free to check in if you have any questions.
Maybe what you need is more audio input overall? How much Japanese audio do you engage with? Imo listening just by word repetition is not very helpful, it’s much easier to remember things if it’s put in context.
I have the opposite problem of knowing a lot of words by ear but having no idea how they are written because I had a LOT of audio input but I was too lazy to study kanji seriously. Japanese has a ton of aspects so it’s normal to be better in some aspects than others especially in the beginning to intermediate phase.
