Wanikani is very good at one thing, and nothing else. How to read kanji. Learning the radical stories, then the kanji stories, really helped me. Kanji is just one part of learning Japanese, you should join a class if you can, get a tutor, use a text book, read books, watch a tv progrum, a movie, whatever turns you on. Wanikani and reading being able to read kanji is only one part of the larger puzzle of learning Japanese. All the pieces matter.
You don’t have to use the mnemonic they give. Making your own is often more memorable. Use the note function. Also if a mnemonic isn’t sticking make a new one!
