With the knowledge that Wanikani doesn’t teach every common vocabulary word that uses kanji (it’s my understanding that the vocabulary is mainly for reinforcing readings,) I’ve been pondering the idea of gradually building my own Anki deck to supplement WK’s vocabulary list. The general idea is tha…

[image] AzusaChan: If you’re reading any native material, that would be a good time to mine unknown vocabulary and make a deck based off of that. The only native material that really has my interest at the moment is fan comics I found on Pixiv, which I guess could still provide some examples …

[image] MidnightSkies38: As for Yomichan, I don’t think it’s supported on Safari. I would have to start using another browser just for reading Japanese online. Honestly, I think using another browser just for Japanese would be worth it if it allows you to use Yomichan. I cannot express just h…

So like, building an Anki deck from native material (whether using Yomichan or not) is a simple a thought process as “oh I’ve never seen this word before, let me add it to the pile”?

Other than brute force would be mnemonics. Also for me, context, and searching the web helps. Full sentence audio can be searched with ImmersionKit and Youglish. I also took note in Anki, of what I have found, and what I was thinking about. About having the unknown Kanji, I would focus on rememberi…

It’s not always a simple process, because some people only like to add especially common words (or in my case, I only add words if I know all the kanji in them), so there’s a decision process you still have to go through when adding cards, but it does make it very, very easy to add new words on a wh…

[image] fallynleaf: because some people only like to add especially common words And how would you know that a word you stumble across is an especially common word? Would you just check a dictionary like Jisho, or do you mean “common” as in “I’ve stumbled across this word like a dozen times a…

Yomichan has a dictionary called Innocent Corpus, which gives a number for each word. This number represents how many times that word occurred in a large collection of novels. Obviously it’s biased towards words that are common in novels (so a lot of pro wrestling vocab, for instance, has very low I…

[image] fallynleaf: When in doubt, always pick Firefox, personally. Mozilla is a non-profit dedicated to internet health and privacy, and I like supporting them over companies like Google. Not like Mozilla (Firefox)'s image isn’t tainted at all. Personally, I’ve found no difference between Fi…

Yeah, I mean, they’re all still companies, and they’ve done their share of scummy stuff. I just personally would like to not increase Google’s monopoly over the internet. Firefox is a little bit in jeopardy right now, but that’s a reason to support them, not abandon them, in my opinion. As far as Y…
