Hi! I’m looking for something similar to wanikani but instead of words being shown to you, it just  
plays the audio first. I want to drill myself in recognizing the words by hearing them. I know this could be somewhat difficult because some words might have similar readings but different meanings. Any suggestions.

Perhaps, KaniWani with some modifications? (Like editing this UserScript – [KaniWani Audio - #10 by rymek](https://community.wanikani.com/t/kaniwani-audio/34703/10))

Otherwise, some websites with audio segment shadowing.

It’s better to hear in context, anyway. So,

Vocabularies are in `/resources/**/data.ndjson` of `"word_base_list"` key, and sounds are in `"sound"` (URL can be figured out from the UserScript in the first post of the topic). So perhaps, ensure that you _know_ all of the words in the `"sentence"` first.

Otherwise, getting other series’ subtitle (transcript) files and their audio, should be possible. YouTube (some of them has native JP sub) is also technically possible.

Perhaps something like this for WaniKani? May interfere with Reading recall, though. (Press “Raw” to install.)

Memrise offers “audio review” mode.

Personally, I use Anki for audio based reviews and I do sentences rather than single words. Here is a nice [anki audio setup](https://community.wanikani.com/t/im-doing-a-thing/46447/22) in case you want to try it out. (I made my anki setup similar to this one ^^).

Apart from that, maybe the following thread has some additional tips for you:

> I think most people here would agree, drilling kanji and vocab with WK helps with reading. Each review builds an association between seeing the kanji and thinking of the meaning and reading. However, as I’ve been practicing my listening skills, I find that my association between hearing the reading and thinking of the meaning and kanji is weak. This is especially true for words in my passive vocabulary that aren’t super common, but I would never miss while reading, likely due to the kanji helpin…

Anyways, good luck with your studies 🍀
