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

WaniKani is a kanji-learning website, so there’s not really an English equivalent. For any old SRS, Anki will do. ---

Do you mean for learning English vocabulary? I feel like a lot of Japanese learners of English get plenty of experience with drilling vocab already… ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/5/4/e/54ea32d9a5091205149bf445c485f67a8fd458f9.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/c/e/4/ce4474b9c26c5d34463b909ec9ec77dac095dcca.png) ---

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. ---

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](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=2ahUKEwiIxKzFrK_oAhUCGaYKHYAmAlQQFjAAegQIBhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.wanikani.com%2Ft%2Fiknow-sorted-by-wk-level%2F30755&usg=AOvVaw2ubae8QD56NERUxYf5e2tF). ---
