[Discussion & Feedback] So Much Vocab! (Kitsun 10k Edition)

@MegaZeroX

I will take a look at it today :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

Update - Looks like itā€™s a difference between casual/formal. I have updated the subtitles for the cards accordingly. Feel free to ā€œPropose Changesā€ similar to this in Actions. :smiley:

Thanks! And also sorry, I always forget about ā€œpropose changes.ā€

Yeap, everything is perfect now, ENG-JP looks great too, thanks! :smile: :+1:

It appears that the spoiler function is no longer working.

New here and wanted to say thanks to the community for putting together this awesome deck. What are the recommended settings to get the most out of it as someone who already is ~20 levels into WaniKani? I assume I should enable sibling delay so I donā€™t spoil myself between audio and readings? Should I keep all the layouts active? Sorry if these are obvious questions - the amount of settings is a bit overwhelming.

@Neicudi Is there a way to manually level up a card? I got something ā€œwrongā€ when I proposed changes and forgot to ignore after that.

Also, I would like to suggest that a card gets flipped to ā€œcorrectā€ automatically after proposing changes, since its hard to remember to fix it each time.

Iā€™m afraid there is not :confused:

depends on what youā€™re looking for, honestly. I also use this deck at the same time I use Wanikani. The big one that you absolutely HAVE to do is to go into manage cards and just filter out all of the cards tagged Wanikani. Thereā€™s basically no reason to do otherwise unless if youā€™re okay studying the same thing twice.

Iā€™m interested in covering the WaniKani vocab Eng to Japanese and audio to meaning, since WK doesnā€™t cover those. Would doing this remove those versions as well or just the Kanji recognition and reading cards?

@hinekidori It seems I canā€™t suggest changes on the app, so I just want to mention that there should be something to distinguish čŖ­ę›ø and čŖ­ćæ on the EN -> JP cards

Also, it might be good to search by default with https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/ as the beginning followed by the kana version of it, since as it is, often the search fails with single kanji words, as it gives compounds and the kanji page itself.

Iā€™m not sure if I fully understood your question, but once a layout is activated, youā€™ll have to do it for all the cards (this is not the case with personal decks). So in a way, youā€™d have to study all layouts activated for the WK words, you wouldnā€™t be able to select a smaller group.

Nevertheless, Kitsun recently launched a reversed WK deck where you can practice WK vocabulary from English to Japanese :slight_smile: Itā€™s tagged by levels.

I wouldnā€™t suggest all layouts, to be honest. Iā€™d say keep it simple for now and only study Japanese meaning and Japanese reading. If youā€™re willing to also study ENG - JP, then activate sibling delay :slight_smile:

If youā€™re an intermediate/advanced learner of Japanese, then Iā€™d suggest only doing sentence cards only because at that point, one would know a big portion of the words in Core 10k already.

Would be great if it was possible to have multiple owners for this deck to review suggestions. Iā€™m only 10% through but Iā€™ve come across so many cards where the verb isnā€™t in the correct dictionary form for English (includes a to). For example kiru -> ā€œcutā€ instead of ā€œto cutā€.

Deck owner has a life and can be on vacation or whatever, so thereā€™s no guarantee theyā€™ll review the suggestion and make it soon, so I have to keep remembering for several cards: oh this is a bad card, itā€™s ā€œto Xā€, but Iā€™ll get it wrong if I donā€™t put ā€œXā€, which is not great for studying.

In general, it would be great if this deck was audited for correct verb form rather than my having to make suggestions when coming across them. It feels like 1/3-1/2 of verbs are missing the ā€œtoā€

Just wanted to mention that you can add personal synonyms while you wait for the feedback to be reviewed. (Floating pencil button on the backside of the cards during lessons/reviews)

This at least would make it so it does not mark the card as incorrect for you :grinning:

Sorry for the delay. Blur should be working on the cards again. :slightly_smiling_face:

I just wanted to thank you for the quick acceptance of the proposed changes every time.

I missed this somehow. Sorry about that. Your suggested url caused the search to fail. I did however take your recommendation to change the search to the kana version.

Let me know if thatā€™s an improvement :slightly_smiling_face:

@hinekidori Can you please add the Core 10k WK Breakdown Deck (Core 10k sorted by WaniKani Level) with the WaniKani vocabulary filtered out and kana vocabulary included throughout?

@N1GHTWALKER823

I would recommend using the card management page to filter the 10k deck using the tags provided for WK and Level.

Though I see the advantage to providing the deck already preset to this, it would be redundant in the end and cause extra moderation that I donā€™t have time for.
