You might at some point want to consider whether you want to practice Japanese word to written form. I found from going through RTK that I was able to write out 2000+ kanji from an English keyword prompt, but was still regularly stuck when writing Japanese, because I had no memory link from the word I wanted to write to the English keywords for the kanji in it…
That sounds smart too
I am getting a lot of sweet tips from this forum
The methodology efficiency is going to be through the roof compared to what I was doing before
I made such a deck myself if you want to use it: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/610839770
Front of the card:
Back of the card:
It contains all the Wanikani kanji + remaining Jouyou + various kanji that I add as I encounter them in the wild. It currently contains 2,358kanji, so enough to keep oneself busy for a while.
That’s definitely where I am right now, in fact yesterday I bought a new notebook because I want to start writing full sentences instead of just isolated kanji.
Also instead of writing just the kanji during my reviews with this deck, I try to write one full word at a time. So in the example above I’d try to write, for instance, 建築 instead of just 築. I think that helps, especially when the kanji is only commonly used in one specific word (which is most of the kanji I learn these days).
This seems like a really useful one
Got myself another new shiny toy ![]()
It’s getting more and more difficult to remember the basics: taking time to study
But in all seriousness, there are tons and tons of useful tips and resources in this single thread, starting it was probably the best idea I’ve had in a while
Have you looked into the Skritter app? It’s an SRS app focused more on handwriting. You can add premade decks to your study list such as those based on textbooks or JLPT lists. You can also ban items you already know well, and focus on only certain types of reviews (e.g. only do writing cards instead of meaning recognition).
I will look into it
