Hi everyone
Does anybody know of a Wanikani-equivalent SRS system designed specifically for Japanese learners of English? (Croccycrabby, perhaps?)
Cheers

WaniKani is a kanji-learning website, so there’s not really an English equivalent.
For any old SRS, Anki will do.
Very useful, thank you!
I have seen people using some apps with a simple SRS, or paper flashcards. But it also showed me that knowing what cromulent means doesn’t help you to speak English.
Gotta love the way these books teach one-to-one vocab! With little to no mention of synonyms to be seen.
What’s “paper” in Japanese? 紙? No, no. Only 論文 or レポート.
“Wow! You save a lot of kids!”
Does anyone know of a mnemonic-based SRS system for learning English?
In my experience, iKnow isn’t a great solution for learning English (or Japanese), since it doesn’t use mnemonics. It’s just brute force SRS, which is ok, but it doesn’t hold a candle to wanikani’s mnemonics.
I used iKnow daily for years, and was still basically guessing most of the time. It’s a very slow way to learn, if you can’t remember words easily - which is what mnemonics give you.
PS: I do love iKnow’s “Rapid Choice” and “Listening” games for listening practice. It’s a great addition to your wanikani practice if you use the wanikani iKnow courses.
