Hi, I'm Olivia and today I want to give a tutorial on how to use Wani Kani to learn kanji.

So in this video, I'll be going over all the basics on how to get started, but there are also a lot of really cool ways

that you can customize Wani Kani and make it even nicer to use, which I really recommend doing,

but I'll be talking about that in another video.

So if you're interested in learning more about that and other language learning tips,

make sure that you subscribe and hit the notification bell so that you don't miss anything and let's get started.

Now, if you're watching this, I'm assuming that you already know the basic premise of Wani Kani and how it uses spaced repetition,

mnemonics and radicals to teach you kanji but

if you have no idea what i'm talking about i really recommend

that you check out this video first and then come back

but as a quick refresher you're going to be learning the readings

and the meanings of 2000 kanji as well as 6000 vocabulary words

that use those kanji you will do this by doing lessons to learn new items

and then you are going to review those items

and then you just do that every day

so let's go open it up and i'll show you how everything works

and then at the end of the video i'm going to explain how the review cycles work

and how to properly pace yourself so that you don't burn out.

So when you first open WaniKani up you're going to have these two big buttons on the top, lessons and reviews.

So lessons are things that you have not seen before

and they're ready for you to learn and as you level up in WaniKani more lessons will become unlocked for you.

So you can see here that I have 58 lessons

that are pending that are available for me to learn

and later in the video I'll actually go into lessons and show you how it works.

So once you learn an item it's going to move over to your reviews.

So reviews are where all the items where you have seen before show up.

So you've already done lessons on these items and now they're going to keep showing up as reviews until you've memorized it.

And once an item is perfected, it's going to become burned and

that means you're not going to see it anymore in your reviews because you've burned it into your memory.

And now the counter on this review button is how many reviews I currently have available right now for me to do.

In total, I have over 2 ,000 reviews that are in my review cycle,

but at this moment only 70 of them are available for me to review.

So on the right hand side here we have the review forecast.

So this is where Wani Kani shows us when our reviews are going to be ready for us.

So most of my reviews were due this morning

but I haven't done them yet because I want to show you how it works,

but you can see that later today at 6 p .m one more new review will be ready for me to do.

So in total there will be 71 reviews at that time

and then we can also look at how many reviews I'm going to have on Sunday,

on Monday, Tuesday, and at the approximate time that all these reviews are going to show up.

So this forecast is just showing me what my future reviews are going to be based on this current moment in time.

But as soon as I do the reviews for today,

as long as none of those reviews are being burned and being taken out of the review cycle,

they're going to be placed on a new day.

So some of the reviews that I do today may show up on Sunday, on Monday, on Tuesday.

So these numbers are going to change as I keep doing reviews.

So then here in the center we have our level breakdown.

So you can see that I'm on level 22.

We have this progress bar that will fill up as I keep going.

In blue are the radicals for this level and in pink are the kanji.

If you don't know what radicals are,

I really recommend that you check out that video that I was talking about earlier and I'll pop it up again.

But basically radicals are building blocks for kanji.

So for each radical you're going to learn a word to associate with it

and then when you're looking at kanji you're going to break up the kanji into different radicals

and remember all the different words that go with each radical

and then you're going to build a story about the kanji so that you can remember it better.

So learning the radicals is really important for learning kanji, so that's why it's the first thing that you're going to learn on each level.

And now down below we have the kanji that we're going to be learning on this level,

and you'll notice that some of them are in gray.

And the reason for this is because they're still locked.

You're going to have to learn the radicals for this level before you're able to do the lessons for these new kanji.

And the reason for this is because many of these kanji use these radicals in them,

so you need to make sure that you have learned them first before you can learn the kanji.

And then the reason that these kanji are already unlocked is

because they use radicals that I already learned on previous levels so I can jump right in and learn those right away.

You're also going to be learning vocabulary on each level but it's not going to be shown here on the dashboard.

Basically as soon as you pass a kanji then you're going to be able to learn any vocabulary

that is related to that kanji and then they're just going to show up in your lessons queue automatically.

You'll also notice that there's these little bars underneath each item

and this is just showing you what your progress is for that item.

So every time you do a review

and you get it right the bar is going to fill up one

and if you get it wrong it's going to go back a level.

So once you fill all five bars then that item is passed.

So as I fill up the bars underneath these radicals these kanji are going to become unlocked

and once I fill up 30 of these kanji with five bars then I'm going to pass the level.

Now these colorful boxes along the bottom are fairly important

but I'll go into more depth at the end of the video

when we're talking about how to paste your studies

but basically it's an overview of all the items that you are currently reviewing.

So apprentice items are items that are fairly new or they're ones

that you've been struggling with so you'll be seeing them fairly frequently

and then as you level up you will start to see items less frequently and they'll move up in these ranks.

Once an item is burned you will no longer see

that item anymore because you've proved to Wani Kani that you know it really well.

So you will no longer see reviews for those items.

All the items that you are learning on each level will start out in the apprentice stage.

But once you fill out that fifth bar, that's when it's going to level up to the guru level.

Then along the bottom here, we have these three tabs that aren't that important, but I'll show you what they are.

This tab will show you what items you have recently unlocked.

So these are items that were recently added to your lessons queue.

In the center, we have critical condition items.

So these are items that you've been getting wrong pretty frequently.

So Warenkani is saying, hey, you've gotten this word wrong more than once so you might want to pay some special attention to it.

And then over here on the far right we have burned items.

So these are all the items that recently leveled up to burned

and I will no longer see these items in my reviews.

And then these tabs along the top aren't super important, I rarely ever go in here,

100

but these are basically going to show you an index of all the information that's on WaniKani.

101

So if you want to do some exploring and see what you're going to be learning on future levels,

102

you can dig through those and see what's going to be in each level, all the different radicals, all the different kanji,

103

all the different vocab, and that's where you can find all that information.

104

Okay so now let's dive into the lessons tab.

105

So we're going to click on that

106

and right here it's just going to show you a quick summary of what you did in your last lesson session.

107

So here it shows nothing and it says I was on here two hours ago

108

because I was just checking to make sure everything was going to be okay for this video

109

but usually it would show you any radicals that you learned last time, any conju you learned last time.

110

Then this button up here is just going to bring you back to the home page

111

and then we're going to press on this to get started.

112

So now we're in our lessons.

113

So up in the top right here we can see all the different types of lessons that we have pending.

114

So these are the radicals that I have waiting to learn, the kanji, and the vocabulary.

115

So I'll walk you through each of these three types because they look a little bit different.

116

So purple is a vocabulary word.

117

So up here I have the full word, I have what it means, and then I have these four tabs here.

118

So first it's going to tell me what kanji are used in this vocabulary word.

119

So sometimes there'll only be one kanji, sometimes there'll be multiple.

120

So you can just go, oh yeah, I remember I learned that earlier, that is kanji I already know,

121

and now I'm learning a vocabulary word that uses that congee.

122

The next tab is for meaning.

123

So we already have the main meaning of the word up here, but there will also be some synonyms on the side here.

124

And then there'll be this meaning explanation that will tell you a way to remember what the meaning is for that word.

125

And then down here, you can click on this and add some notes if you want to.

126

And then the next is the reading tab.

127

So this is where it will show you how to pronounce the word.

128

You can also click on these buttons

129

and it will read it out to you so you can hear what it sounds like.

130

And then there'll also be a mnemonic on how to remember how to pronounce that word.

131

And again, you can add your own notes if you'd like.

132

And then the final tab is context sentences.

133

So here it will show you some sample sentences using the word that you can read and what they mean in English.

134

But honestly, I usually don't look at this tab in too much detail.

135

So now we'll look at a radical.

136

You'll notice that there is a lot less tabs here.

137

So basically all we'll have is the radical up top,

138

what the word is, and then we'll have a quick sentence here to help us remember what this radical is.

139

On the next tab we have some examples

140

so this is just a little sneak peek of the kanji that we will be learning that use this radical.

141

So now I'm just gonna quickly finish these lessons and then I'll show you what the quiz portion looks like.

142

So once you finish going through all of the items you're going to be prompted to do a quiz.

143

So if you don't feel ready yet, you can just say I need more time and then you can keep going through all those different tabs.

144

But if you're feeling good, you can press start the quiz.

145

So how it'll work is we'll show you the item and you can see that the background is blue.

146

So that means that this is a radical.

147

And then here it's asking me for the name of this radical.

148

So you're just going to think back to the mnemonic that you read before and see if you can remember it. And you press enter.

149

And then if you want, you can also click on item info.

150

And here it's just going to give you the breakdown of this item

151

so that's what it is here's the mnemonic

152

and then you can add a little note for yourself for later

153

if you'd like and then you're just going to continue doing this for all of them

154

and then i can click on this and see more information if i want go next

155

now if i get one wrong nothing really is going to happen

156

so if i put in hello here it's just going to go red

157

and then i can click on here and see what it actually was

158

so that i can get it right the next time

159

so i'll shuffle them up and show it to me again

160

and then once i do get it right it will you move to the reviews.

161

You only need to get it right one time.

162

So one thing you do have to be careful of is

163

that you do need to write in exactly what the word was.

164

So here I wrote in bath but the actual answer is bathtub so it marked it wrong.

165

But there is a way to avoid this

166

and to override it using these things called user scripts

167

which I'm going to be talking about in a different video but that's just something to keep in mind for now.

168

So one thing I want to show you is for typing in the answer

169

it's going to show up in hiragana but you're going to be typing it in romangie.

170

So you can click on this tab here

171

and it'll show you a kana chart so you can see what character

172

that you need to type to make each kana show up

173

Or you can even type just by clicking on the button and then that will show up

174

But it'll be faster if you remember how to actually type it.

175

So on my keyboard I'm just typing in the letters a I E U

176

and O and then you can see that the hiragana characters are showing up for those

177

Once you're done the quiz for the lessons that you just learned,

178

you can either press I'm done for now and you'll go back to the home page,

179

or you can press continue with new lessons if you want to keep going.

180

So I'm going to press continue just so I can show you what a kanji lesson looks like,

181

and then we'll go and see what reviews look like.

182

So the kanji lesson page is pretty similar to the vocabulary page.

183

On the first tab, instead of seeing the kanji that makes up the vocabulary word, we're going see the radicals that make up the kanji.

184

So here we have three different radicals that are making up our kanji

185

and these are all radicals that I've already learned previously.

186

So now in the meaning section this is where you're going to get

187

that mnemonic to remember how you can remember this kanji.

188

So here in blue these are the key words that go with the three radicals that go with this kanji.

189

So our mnemonic is

190

if you try to say things with a knife the police will put

191

you in a net as your penalty for breaking the knife laws.

192

You can't just go up to other people and say things with a knife

193

Then there's also another little sentence that might help you with your memory and just because having these stories will really help

194

Build connections in your brain and then you're just gonna look at it and try and remember that

195

Okay, so I have a net say knife net say knife

196

so then you just want to kind of say it to yourself in your head

197

and Make sure that you really internalize that mnemonic.

198

I've got a net I've got say and I have knife

199

so I said something with a knife and now as my penalty I'm going to be placed into a net

200

So just say that a few times in your head so that you have it stuck there, and then you can go to the next tab.

201

Or if you don't like the mnemonic that Wani Kani gave you, you can click to add note and you can add your own.

202

So on the next tab is for readings, and again we'll have another little mnemonic to help us remember how the kanji is pronounced.

203

On the side here, it will let us know if we're learning the anyomi or the kunyomi.

204

So you'll only learn one or the other when you're learning the kanji, but then you'll learn the other when you are learning vocabulary words.

205

So right now I'm learning the anyomi reading for this kanji, but later on I'll learn a vocabulary word that uses the kunyomi

206

So this is our reading and then we have a little mnemonic

207

Your penalty for breaking the law isn't over Now that you're stuck in a net, you can't fight back when they hit you with bats

208

So that's what you're going to try and remember, okay?

209

I'm in a net because of my penalty and now they're hitting me with bats

210

So that's how you're going to remember how it is pronounced

211

So then on the last tab we have examples again

212

and these are just some vocabulary words that use this kanji that we will be learning later on.

213

The lesson quiz will be exactly the same as what we saw before

214

so I won't do it again and then

215

when I go to exit it will show me a little summary of what I just learned

216

and you'll notice how the kanji that I just showed you isn't showing up here

217

and that's because I didn't do the quiz.

218

So even though I looked at the lesson it doesn't officially upgrade to being a review until I finish that quiz.

219

Okay so now our lessons are done we can go into our reviews

220

and the items that we just did on our lessons are not going to show up in our reviews for four hours.

221

So if you're just starting with 1e Connie, you're gonna have to wait four hours before you can do your first review

222

So if you don't have any reviews great go and do something else and then come back

223

You do not want to go and study them on your own

224

while you're waiting because that will really defeat the purpose 1e Connie is a spaced repetition system

225

So we're trying to train our memory to remember things for longer and longer periods to train that long -term memory

226

So if you have no reviews to do right now, just go and do something else and then you can come back when they're ready

227

So once again when you click on this it will give you a quick summary of what happened last time

228

So you can see last time I reviewed 26 items

229

and they were all vocabulary words

230

and then I can see a breakdown of the one

231

that I got wrong and the ones that I got right and what levels they went to.

232

So we're gonna click start session and get started and you'll notice

233

that this is gonna be really similar to the quiz that we did in the lessons.

234

We've just got a couple things that are different but the main premise is the same.

235

So along the bottom we have some extra buttons.

236

So this button here is to wrap up.

237

So you can see here that I have 70 reviews to do today, but if I only wanted to do 10 of them,

238

I would just click on this and then it will only show me 10 reviews

239

and then it'll be done and then I can leave.

240

If you try to exit out early before you finish your reviews without pressing this button,

241

it won't count what you did unless you finished all the way to the end

242

or unless you used the wrap up button.

243

Last 10 will give you a quick recap of the last 10 reviews you did.

244

So right now I haven't started yet, so nothing is here.

245

And then again here we have the Kana chart if you need help typing it in.

246

So this one is Scholar, I believe and then I can click on this eyeball

247

if I want to see more information so yeah it was scholar

248

and then the little mnemonic there and then the kanji that were used in this so next

249

so while we're doing these reviews you're going to be shown the vocabulary words

250

and the kanji twice you'll see it wants to be tested on the reading

251

and wants to be tested on the meaning

252

so you have to do both of those to finish the review

253

which is why if you want to leave early you have to press the wrap up button

254

because then it will make sure

255

that you finish both of those parts before you can leave because if you only finish one part then it doesn't count.

256

締め That's the information.

257

心へ暴力団 So one thing about WaniKani,

258

if you don't have any customizations in, is that if you write something that is close but not exactly what the meaning it was asking for,

259

you'll get it wrong.

260

So you can see here that I had the right idea for this word, but I didn't put in the exact keywords that WaniKani wanted.

261

So there's two ways that you can fix this.

262

The first one is right here.

263

You can add your own synonym.

264

So if I want WaniKani to accept

265

Crime Family as a answer in the future, I can just write it right here and press add

266

And now in the future I will get it right if I wrote this as my answer

267

The second thing that you can do

268

which I think is a bit better is if you customize WaniKani using these things called user scripts

269

So you can download something that will add a button where if you got it wrong

270

But you know that it was right you can just override WaniKani and it will change it to being correct

271

So if you want to do that I will be making a tutorial video

272

that shows you how to do that and I'll link it in the corner when it's ready

273

But for now that's just something that you should be aware of

274

So you can see that I rely on that plugin quite heavily.

275

I often know what it means, but I don't remember exactly what it wants.

276

So I needed sense of duty, but I wrote one's duty.

277

So yeah, highly recommend downloading that customization because it can be a bit frustrating.

278

So that's basically how the reviews work.

279

It's very similar to what we did in the lessons, and I also just don't really want to do these without all my plugins.

280

So now let's talk about how to properly pace your studies.

281

Okay, so now that we've gone over how Oney Connie works and how to navigate the site,

282

I'm going to give you some tips on how to properly pace yourself and how the review cycles work.

283

Now, my first tip, if you don't take anything else from this video, is to not do every single lesson as soon as it shows up.

284

Now, I'm sure most of you have done this and don't stress out if you have.

285

It's okay for the first couple of levels if that's what you're doing.

286

But if you continue doing this in the long term, it's going to really pile up and be really overwhelming.

287

And this still applies if you're wanting to like speed run Wani Kani and level up as fast as you can.

288

I still recommend

289

that you don't do all of the lessons on the same day there is a much better way to do it.

290

So each level on Wani Kani takes at least seven days to pass.

291

There are a few exceptions there's a handful

292

that only take four days to pass but in general

293

if you're going max speed it takes at least seven days to pass a level

294

and this is because like we talked about earlier you have to pass both the radicals

295

and a certain amount of kanji for each level before you can level up.

296

So doing all of the lessons

297

that you have available at the beginning isn't going to make you level up any faster

298

and now you're not going to have any more lessons to do until you pass those radicals

299

so this is going to cause your reviews to be really uneven.

300

Instead of having a steady amount of reviews every day and having them evenly distributed,

301

you're going to have these big spikes that show up from doing all those lessons on the same day.

302

And if you continue doing this for multiple levels,

303

those big spikes are going to overlap on each other and you'll have some days that are super,

304

super heavy, but other days that you barely have any reviews at all.

305

So what you're going to do to avoid

306

that is to just spread out how many lessons you're doing each day instead of doing them all at once.

307

And if you are someone who is trying to level up as fast as possible, all you have to do is the lessons for the radicals

308

because you're not going to be able to do all the lessons for the kanji anyways until they're passed.

309

So if that's what your goal is, the first day do all the radicals,

310

but then spread out all the kanji throughout the next couple of days.

311

But if you're not trying to speed run it, the most natural next question is how many reviews should I be doing each day?

312

Now this is going to depend a lot on the person,

313

just depending on how much time they have every day and how fast they are learning the new words.

314

But a good rule of thumb is to keep your apprentice items under 100 and your guru items under 500.

315

So what I mean by that is to go back to your Waring Connie homepage

316

and look at those colorful boxes along the bottom and pay attention to the pink box and the purple box.

317

The general consensus on Wani Kani is that if you keep the pink box under 100 and the purple box under 500,

318

your reviews won't pile up in the future and they'll be nicely distributed and will become overwhelming.

319

If your numbers are higher than that, there's a good chance that the number of lessons

320

that you're doing is not going to be sustainable for you in the future

321

and those reviews are going to compile on each other

322

and you're going to have to be putting in a lot more time every day than what you're doing right now.

323

Or it could mean that you're getting a lot of reviews wrong

324

So you're kind of creating a bottleneck because none of those reviews are leveling up and getting spread out more

325

So if your numbers are higher than that I recommend

326

that you stop doing lessons for a while

327

and just focus on your reviews until those numbers come down and these numbers are just

328

The guideline you'll notice that my numbers are well below 100 and 500 and that's because I didn't know about this rule

329

When I was first starting out

330

So I had a ton of reviews that were in

331

that purple box and now they finally made their way to that light blue box

332

And now i'm just waiting for them to get burned so that I have less reviews in my overall cycle

333

So I'm basically trying to give myself a fresh slate by doing less lessons and letting all those reviews graduate

334

So that I'll have more consistent reviews in the future

335

But if you follow the 100 -500 problem, you hopefully won't have that problem

336

Now there's a lot more that I want to talk about for WaniKani

337

So please let me know down in the comments

338

if there's anything specific you want me to talk about in a future video

339

And I'll be putting them all in this playlist so that they're easy for you to find

340

If you like this video, make sure you give it a thumbs up so that more people can find it

341

And that's all I have for today and I'll see you soon Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
