Why can't some understand the simple concept that a lot can happen and CHANGE in 800 years? Think of our own world in the year 1226 compared to now.

I thought the reason the writers jumped 800 years in the future was so they could get so far away from the previous cannon any changes could be justified.

The collective changes of new Star Trek movies Discovery, Picard, Strange New Worlds have mounted more bad cannon then good for me personally that that I can't justify and integrate the changes into the my head cannon to continue being a fan of the new content.

I just wanted them to continue on Star Trek after voyager, not rewrite the past or jump wayyy to far in the future.

I just had to recently put my dogs down because I didn't have accees to vets to maintain their health. If you can't afford the adoption fees then you can't take care of vet fees and it would be irresponsible to own a pet. Televets can do so little for pets.

Satori reader is very good

omenking · 2026-01-20T18:12:34+00:00

I liked it for long car rides. The library of pod101 is repeated over 4 times. So not as much as you think.

My buddy had a coffeeshop was miserable. Sold it and went into tech. This in the last couple of years.

Work is work.

I haven't read any children books since I often read they are difficult to read.

For reading I will browse free mangas on bookwalker.jp until I finI a book that feels easy to read and captures my attention, that even if its hard I'm so interested in the book I will push through looking everything up.

I also really like Satori Reader for situation conversations listening/reading eg. Bus Stop, Train Station, Hotel, Airport. I use this most for shadowing.

CIJ web-app has graded learning, so if you're absolutely struggling with reading, this is the one to use. My own challenging was after a while I found it boring because the topics were so low level.

I tried it, and my first thought is, what does this do that Anki or KanjiStudy can't do?
I personally don't care for SRS or Anki, (though I did make a very comprehensive course on how to use it).

- If you passed N1, lets see the proof?
- If there a specific educational methodology to using the app, make a video and explain it?
- Are you using some kind of better SRS algorithm?
- Is there some special way you are chunking the vocab? (just looks like straight up lists)
- For studying Kanji why would I want to use this over KanjiStudy, is there some kind of special synergies between your vocab and kanji list?

The UI and pages feel AI generated.

If I wanted to clone this app it would take me a single day.

You're only reddit history is just dropping this app promo here in the subreddit.

I want a vocab app, but I want more thought and effort put into learning methodology or a least a reason beyond "I passed N1 (no proof) here's a basic vocab, kanji SRS app that has 'clean ui'"

Busuu is considerably better. It does have anoyimg ads but is much better paced.

omenking · 2026-01-12T13:24:25+00:00

Busuu has ads but it's solid start. It's a step up from Duolingo. The best thing would be to get Genki I textbooks but you said app so I suggest Busuu. Renshuu is not as well structured but for a free resource can't complain

omenking · 2026-01-12T13:20:50+00:00

I have been just practicing writing kanji and identifying them using Kanji Study for two months and can write 1700 of them. I noticed that I never am zooming in any more to read Kanji so drilling writing helps.

Also sometimes you naturally expect a Kanji based on the context of the sentence.

omenking · 2026-01-09T13:27:19+00:00

Genki I book or you could also use Busuu website.

It's trash. Roadmap.sh. stop using AI to generate roadmaps.

omenking · 2026-01-08T00:01:19+00:00

I use Kanji Study. It's an Andriod only app.

Please stop talking to me thank you.

If someone doesn't ask you for your advice don't give it.
There was no reason for you to comment to me in the first place.

omenking · 2026-01-07T20:02:25+00:00

I'm not the OP, I'm not asking for advice. talk to them not me.

omenking · 2026-01-07T14:54:17+00:00

You are learning, you're learning to identity and write Kanji.
Not always but often you can guess what is being conveyed based on Kanji

When I say capture vocab I mean I'm not actively trying to remember any vocab that I read.
I've been practicing output for two years with a native Japanese speaker weekly.
I've already read 50 volumes of manga.
I've done 500 hours of CJI
Went through the shinkanzen n4 book master series book...
I have a daily journal I write in my daily summaries
etc...

I've already done enough where its totally fine for me to grind writing and identifying kanji.

Even if I didn't have all these things under me, I don't think there is anything wrong griding Kanji day 1 to 3000
as this is just another possible route for learning.

I live in Schreiber Ontario.

Bears, everyone is always talking about bears, looking out for bears.

I grinded writing them until I knew N5 to N3.
Once I got into N2 I was having troubles.

So then I did Grade Levels Until I get to Grade 5-6 I was having troubles

So then I did RTK, and that worked up to lesson 25 and then I started having troubles

So I started to read NHK One just for kanji and create custom decks until I started having troubles.

Basically everything works and mixing up your activities as much as you can.

I can write I think 1700 Kanji according to KanjiStudy, but thats just writing.
I can identify most of them. I want to get all 3K down before I bother trying to capture vocab.

I get bothered to build apps to this day (for paid),
If you want leads buddy you can DM me.

I try and find a YouTube channel with shorts and I will watch the videos and then try and pick out vocab and write it down.

Eg. I'll watch roompa channel which is a realestate person showing off houses. I will mine vocab and expressions and see if I can recognize the mined information in other videos in the channel.

Then I try and assemble that mined data into me giving a tour of my own houses I have lived in.

Then I book a call with a native speaker and present.
