I just sat down to my review session this morning and the kanji for 皮 came up. I was taught in the kanji lesson that it was かわ which is the kun-yomi reading of it. Now however, in the reviews it is asking me for the on-yomi reading (ひ) which I haven’t been taught! I read that they are changing to t…

Yes, it seems to be hitting those of us in the 7 - 15 range the hardest, and I don’t think it’s because we have the “most” to relearn, but rather our mindset is about “winning” WaniKani still. It seems like the sempais around here got over that a long time ago. The word that got me at level 10 was…

[image] novakac: On the positive side, I am a baseball fan, and love me some Japanese pitchers, so it’s awesome to get to learn a word that I’m likely to run across in the wild. Oh, there’s a handful of baseball words that you’ll see on WaniKani eventually.

Oh, there’s a handful of baseball words that you’ll see on WaniKani eventually. How about tennis words? I’ve been going to tennis365.net to test just how much Kanji I can recognize. Would be great to have some of the basics down before, say, Wimbledon in July?

[image] spool: I just wish they would’ve just taught all the on-yomi for the kanji from the beginning. If you take a look at, for example, 唇 - Jisho.org (WK teaches kun’yomi) or 輔 - Jisho.org (WK teaches nanori!) it becomes more evident why WK opted to teach a reading with very substantially …

Yeah, there is some trouble with that too, but you at least get to see what the reading of a word is when you are learning it, so it’s not as bad as kanji you were in the middle of learning, where it’s asking you for a reading you’ve never even seen before. And really it’s not much different than be…

@spool @maxb You might find this interesting. [image] WaniKani Content Overhaul Let me take you behind the curtain to when WaniKani was first made: Back then, I was making the content level by level, not able to think ahead too far. Although I was checking vocab lists and such, there were plenty…

[image] seanblue: Oh, there’s a handful of baseball words that you’ll see on WaniKani eventually. I know nothing about baseball, so I found this one to be particularly mysterious: https://www.wanikani.com/vocabulary/球威 :slight_smile:

I understand your frustration. For my part, as soon as the change happened, I went and looked at every kanji I learned to see if they changed it and the only 3 I found that I’ve never seen their on’yomi were 石(せき), 考(こう) and 池(ち). I hope it’ll help you.

I was curious about the extent of the change, so I made this: WaniKani / Kanji / 右 kunyomi → onyomi (2) WaniKani / Kanji / 四 kunyomi → onyomi (2) WaniKani / Kanji / 左 kunyomi → onyomi (2) WaniKani / Kanji / 石 kunyomi → onyomi (2 → 4) WaniKani / Kanji / 久 kunyomi → onyomi (3 → 32) WaniKani / Ka…

whoa, 久 is now in level 32!?! I still here Jar Jar’s voice when I see that kanji…

I was just asked for the vocab reading for "火", and I entered "か" when it was looking for "ひ". Is there a way to get it to say "I'm looking for the Kun'yomi reading instead" instead of just marking my answer wrong? Feedback	29	2494	February 19, 2020

How about a message like "Wanikani is looking for the kunyomi" for vocab reviews. (when you accidenally enter the onyomi) Feedback	23	1190	October 11, 2020
