Since Chinese was my first language, I am already familiar with the radicals. In fact I had learned a set of mnemonics for the radicals as a kid in Chinese. Trying to learn a second set of mnemonics seems redundant and rather confusing.
I do love the idea of SRS and WaniKani, it would be nice to have an option to skip the radical section and go straight into kanji and vocab.
You could add synonyms to what you already know them as, and blow through them.
Beyond that, this (and for kanji) has been suggested roughly 47,528 times.
The WaniKani radicals are often unique to WaniKani. Iām pretty sure you donāt know all of them, because WK puts together unique combinations, or gives them unique names at various times.
The system isnāt really designed with someone coming from Chinese in mind, unfortunately.
Thereās a user on this site who explains that he just sets āfakeā as a synonym for every radical because he doesnāt care about them. You could try doing the same , but youād still have to review them in order to progress so
