Hey just starting to check this out after finally figuring out how to import it to Anki correctly.
I’m going to list some observations I’ve made and will edit this if I come across any more. So far I’m only attempting the 1 - 10 pack.
- 毎朝 is on here, but it’s also on WaniKani itself (probably added in a recent update if I had to guess)
- 黄金時代; The reading listed is おうごんじたい but as far as I know, it should be おうごんじだい
- 耳鼻科 is on here, but 鼻 is a level 17 Kanji
- 雲雀 is on here, but 雀 doesn’t appear on WaniKani
“When the project is in a more advanced stage, I also plan to convert it to a Memrise course.” - I’m right now adding your content to a personal Memrise course and adding Forvo audio. The course would stay unlisted (hidden from search) anyway, but would you mind if I shared the URL here?

There are a few compounds that use non-WK kanji that I used to sort in with other levels but which now I've removed and may treat separately as post-level-50 items. There are also a couple of reading errors, and issues where WK added kanji/vocab in updates (毎朝), and I'm aware of the issue where 鼻 was excluded from the level-assigning formulas. I'll try to get it together to do an update to address these issues within the next couple of weeks, but I appreciate your interest and careful eye.

BreadstickNinja said...Great, thanks! I've added Losan's corrections. Interested folks can find the course here: http://www.memrise.com/course/639926/wanikani-extension-reading-training/ I'm slowly adding audio too (from Forvo) but this'll take some time."When the project is in a more advanced stage, I also plan to convert it to a Memrise course." - I'm right now adding your content to a personal Memrise course and adding Forvo audio.

I only messed with the memrise a small amount on the second level. One thing I noticed about the memrise course is that it never asks for the english meaning to be typed in. I got through the first lesson without actually learning the meaning of any of the words. But I matched up the kanji and hiragana pretty well. ![]()

Hey everyone, thanks for your support and for those of you who sent in feedback and corrections on the last release. See the main post for information about today’s updates and download the v1.0 pack here.
Thank you so much once again
I appreciate these extension packs, but they don’t actually match up with WK all the way? I have through the level 15 packs and I have run into a handful of kanji I haven’t learned despite being level 15. Like 溜 for instance.
Also, this isn’t the fault of WK or the extension pack, but it is kind of vexing to have familiar kanji from early levels show up in word with readings WK didn’t teach (like bamboo thicket being “chikurin”).
Thanks so much Breadstick.
Fantastic work.

I have through the level 15 packs and I have run into a handful of kanji I haven't learned despite being level 15. Like 溜 for instance.I haven't yet figured out a foolproof way to exclude all the vocab that include kanji not on WK. I've been sorting them out manually and reassigning them elsewhere but I'm sure I've missed some. I think I can figure out a way to exclude kana and WK kanji and by process of elimination find the remaining ones and put them where they're supposed to be. I'll work on that later this week.
Also, this isn't the fault of WK or the extension pack, but it is kind of vexing to have familiar kanji from early levels show up in word with readings WK didn't teach (like bamboo thicket being "chikurin").
Also, in some cases I purposely chose words to teach readings that aren't included on WK, which is the case with 林・りん. Its on'yomi is listed on the kanji page but isn't included in WK vocab yet, but it does show up sometimes in the wild. So it's intentional that in some cases you're seeing a reading that hasn't been covered yet just so you know it's there!
Thanks for the update Breadstick!
I’ve updated the Anki deck for those who are interested as well.
You can find it here → [Some Supplemental Material]
Enjoy!
OMG, I had no idea this was updated! This is spectacular; I’ve tried using Core but I was discouraged by all the words I had to suspend that I learned with WK. I think this will be a good alternative. Thank you so much!!
ugh… could you please give me an explanation on how to properly import the kana only vocab to HouHou?
I know, stupid question, but when I try to import them with your steps used for the Kanji, they just show up messed up for some reason.
You’re awesome! Thank you so much!
felipe-san said... ugh.. could you please give me an explanation on how to properly import the kana only vocab to HouHou?Sure! Import the kana vocab csv file into Houhou using the "Import Items" feature. Then set up the next pane to use the following settings:

(I’m using “meaning notes” for the Japanese version of the example sentence and “reading notes” for the English translation. If you typically use these fields for their intended purpose, just leave them blank.)
Then on the next page you should see that the items have mapped correctly:
Hopefully that gets you started. Also, set a reasonable threshold for new items a day-- 10 new items a day is usually plenty. If you set it too high, you can get overwhelmed pretty easily.
didn’t expect you to reply so fast!
Thank you so much, it works properly now, I can finally use HouHou. This makes my day happier (boring gray/rainy sunday here, yuck).
ありがとう!
I’ll be waiting for the day you add these to Memrise, that’ll be glorious!
Hi! Is there a way to substitute the semi-collons for commas? It doesn’t work in the Self-Study add-on otherwise ![]()

It doesn't work in the Self-Study add-on otherwise :/You should be able to just edit it using any text file editor (like notepad or notepad++ on Windows) and use the "replace all" function.. But I fear that (since within the semicolons commas are used to separate several answers/meanings/...) having them replaced will turn out to make trouble.
Also, Bready! c(°_:_°)/
I think I've found something wrong (I DLed the file containing that item just to see whether or not you already updated it, since you may have).
太陽電池's entry (of the 11-15 file) has たいようでんし instead of たいようでんち as reading and I believe it to not be just a separate (correct) reading since I couldn't find it anywhere and the IME won't let me turn たいようでんし into 太陽電池 either.
Well, if it is a mistake on my part, then I apologize for inconveniencing you.
Also kinda didn't check whether someone else already pointed it out since I'm kinda on a tight schedule today already. <.<
Anyway, thanks again for the great work you contribute to the WK community, I love this vocab pack.
RayderBlitz said...Thank you! I built this by hand over many months and so there are bound to be a few places where I made mistakes, and it should definitely be でんち.
