Learn around 1,700 kanji and 5,000 vocabulary words in about a one to two years. Created by Tofugu LLC WaniKani is a web application for learning Japanese kanji and vocabulary with the goal of teaching you around 1,700 kanji and 5,000 vocabulary words in about a one to two years. “What? That’s impossible!” you scream. “Okay, tell me more,” you continue after calming down.We use our own homebrew of radicals, mnemonics, space repetition system, and a kanji ordering that allows you to learn much more quickly and effectively compared to the traditional methods (which often involves hitting your face on a wall, we’ve heard). Most kanji learning is broken and inefficient. We want to fix that for ourselves and for you. Try out the first three levels for free to see how well the methods in WaniKani work!…
