Hi guys I’m using quartet 1 after completing both genki.
I’m actually a bit burned out with grammar, I would like to stick to the kanji part for a bit.
I have studied all genkis kanji and and some quartet ones.
I think I hve learn 550 kanji total.
Im starting a wanikani deck in anki, so I would start using an anki deck instead of writing tons of pages of kanji.
Would you recommend this? Do you have any other advice to study kanji? Other deck or whatever.
You can also say ‘why don’t continue with just the physical book?’
Thankzz

For learning kanji wanikani is fine, though I do prefer the free Migaku Kanji God addon for Anki. It will automatically create kanji cards for you based on the cards you have and will study in your vocab Anki decks (Like tango which has level appropriate kanji). Either way pick a method you like!
Kanji is important but as somebody who focused on it too much in the beginning I would say that grammar is also extremely important and in my opinion more important for fluency. There are only about 600 total grammar patterns in all of japanese and there are 2200 standard kanji and several hundred more common kanji. If you don’t know kanji it limits your ability to read for sure, but if you don’t know grammar not only can’t you read, you also can’t speak, write, or listen.
If you’re burnt out on textbooks there are other methods for grammar (and vocab). I love the tool Bunpro, it isn’t free but it is excellent. There are also many great YouTube channels such as Cure Dolly and Tokini Andy.
Go for it, wanikani is great and an anki deck is pretty much the only option to do it if you don’t want to start completely from the beginning. Did you learn your other kanji with anki?
Yea wanikani is great, would be better if u got the actual wanikani instead of anki. You do have to play catch up to your level but after awhile it was worth it.
