I am studying vocabulary mainly through WaniKani and I am mostly satisfied with the platform, however, my main problem is not being able to mix the review pattern – I am stuck with only translating JP->ENG. As I was looking for a way to also get some ENG->JP reviews, I thought of the Anki Core 2k/6k deck, but to my disappointment the review pattern is also stuck to JP->ENG (I thought Anki is more customizable, but I was mistaken..)
Does anyone know how to set up mixed reviews (ENG<->JP or ENG->JP would also be fine) in a way, so that I could also study on the go? I don’t wanna be stuck to my PC.
Thanks in advance!

For Anki I assume that you have 6000 notes and 6000 cards now, All you need to do is to change note type to also include EN->JP, You’d still have 6000 notes but 12000 cards
But remember if you have 2 cards per note and study 20 cards a day you’d be learning only 10 words per day, Thus making both your review and study time higher

It is. Make a second card type and put the English on the front and whatever Japanese information you want on the back.

You can do anything with Anki, you just have to know how. Main reason why a lot of decks there don’t have ENG->JP is that it is generally not recommended to do this.
