kitsun.io is the way to go. It’s a product being built by a WK user, so a lot of the features are similar to WK’s user-experience, if not better. Kitsun has a very community centered approach to the SRS world. In a matter of seconds, you can send suggestions for card changes in 1 deck to a deck creator. The creator will then be able to accept your suggestion and the card will be changed to all users of that deck. This means that if hundreds of users are sending 1 or 2 suggestions, the deck gets improved quite significantly with barely any effort. Naturally, decks like the Genki vocab or the Core 10k are significantly better on Kitsun than on Anki, for example (I’ve sent 3000+ suggestions myself).
Something to take into consideration is that even though Kitsun is free for now, it will go pay to use in the following months.
Kitsun’s thread on the forums (you can see some screenshots here): Kitsun.io - Web & Apps SRS Study Platform
In terms of method of learning words, I pretty much advise two things:
- Do one of the mainstream decks (Katakana 4500 words, Core 10k or the Genki vocabulary deck - log in to access the links)
- From words you see through exposure, only learn them after exposing yourself to them. Not before. For example, if you’re reading a book, you should go along with reading it and add the words to your SRS as you go. Pre studying vocab is less attractive and less efficient. With Kitsun, you can easily do the former, as Jisho is integrated on the website. You can make flashcards in seconds, as you can see from my screenshot:
As an example, this is how the Genki deck looks like (made by our lovely @hinekidori):
I know people are tired of hearing me talk about Kitsun, but this really works. I’ve been using it since August of last year. If everything goes as planned, I will have learned 14000 new words in 1 year of Kitsun usage.
