掲示板 Forums - [Discussion] Spring/Summer Feature - Kanji / Word learning overhaul

Probably not at the beginning, but later on, sure.

I think I would use A and B. The current system already works quite well for me, but I don’t study onyomi/kunyomi because I found it too overwhelming to remember the readings without having vocab linked to it. So having only the onyomi/kunyomi readings in vocab to study would be very useful. B would also be awesome and I would like to use it, especially if there is a filter available so that it only adds new kanji that are of a particular N level so we can balance learning rare and common kanji.

Also, are you thinking for these combined schedules that when you study them, the kanji and vocab questions will be intermixed or separate? Personally I would prefer them separate so that I don’t need to switch my input method too many times.

I would use A or C, although most likely A. I find the current system works very well for me so A sounds like just basic improvements that would not change up how I'm currently learning. I'm learning Kanji mainly though a separate app so the separation of Kanji and vocab is very useful/comfortable for me.

I really like the change of not studying Kanji readings that you haven't yet encountered, I find currently when faced with readings I don't know it's really hard for me to memorize them and feels very useless until I actually encounter a word that does, before that it feels like trial and error, so again the change would be very very welcome.

Along with these options, it would make sense to have suggested choices based on the person's learning level. B probably makes sense for most people, including new users.

Someone reaching a new JLPT level may benefit from a suggestion to consider switching, or adjust their options.

I’m looking forward to using A with the new vocabulary reading filter. I’m currently doing this manually—there’s a bunch of kanji for which I only know one word so far. When I started out I’d add words for the other common meanings but I ended up with way too many words so I switched to disabling the readings instead. I don’t need another source of new vocabulary—already have a ton scheduled, so I wouldn’t use C.

A quick way to find kanji I know a lot of vocabulary for would be nice but I’d probably manually add them to a schedule rather than automatically.

And this suggestion might seem unrelated but also fits with how I’ve been manually managing this stuff: a filter like the “all known” but for “in one of my schedules, including unlearned” would be helpful, even if the new feature takes away one use case.

Any way that is integrating Kanji with the rest of Japanese language is always welcome!

For the third mode, would it be possible to have something else than the JLPT as an alternative? Like from a community list?

Or even better since the tag system is coming up, to select some tag based on our interest that will filter that appear.

Personally, I don't use the JLPT list at all anymore. So, if it's the only option, I would probably not use it.

うそ、バンしないでください

Really i think they're all great options to have and it'd be tough to choose just 1.. I, as many others have stated, have pretty much reached my goals with kanji studies using the old method.. so i will most likely prefer to continue with option A in that regard.. But i also certainly wouldn't mind receiving vocab lessons for kanji i already know (like option C).. however, i was actually thinking about this the other day. If i were to start over again, i would have liked to do it with something like option B.. i think learners and new people to the platform would have an easier time with the kanji roadmap so to speak...

In all honesty, as i write this out. If new users were to start out with an option B schedule as the default(auto kanji schedule creation as vocab grows), and a "classic mode" toggle in the settings with an optional schedule setting to populate by related kanji.. i think that sounds ideal imo..

The B option seems great!

I think the new options would be nice, but they wouldn’t be very helpful for me in particular, except maybe option B. When I learn a new word I usually just check to see if i have its kanji(s) scheduled yet, and if not, I add them, so option B wouldn’t change that much for me anyway. I’d really like this feature to be added if it helps many different learners, though, because that just makes renshuu even more customizable!
