EDIT: Thank you all for your responses, I have formed a solution with your suggestions. As I stated previously I had already intended to continue with Wanikani, but now I have a better supported view of how to value the site. Mods can close this thread if they would like. . . . . Tl;dr: Why is …

The gist of it was that after 1000 core vocab the learner should switch to sentence-mining in their preferred topic. I believe Wanikani should also prioritize some 1000 vocab to allow the learn…

First good response, thank you. I’ve taken the SRS and mnemonics for granted lol

This video by Cure Dolly wouldn’t happen to be the video you are talking about would it? [Japanese Core Vocabulary: how to acquire it (and how NOT to!)] Good find on the error on their website. I’ll email WaniKani about the bug. I don’t think I quite understand your point yet. By prior…
