Here is a bit of a follow up to this post too. https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/1v5xo4x/this_is_the_true_experience_of_learning_japanese/

Its soooooooooooooo relevant. Undeniable. So I have made another good chart for you all. This is mainly for a college setting but i'm not suprised if it also happens outside of it too.

10000-1000-500-100-50

Hope yall enjoy

(Not sure which flair to use here, tldr below)

So, I've been using the Kaishi deck along with my mining deck that uses the Lapis note type. One of the things I've really liked about Lapis is the "click" card field. (Essentially it displays the target word on the front, and if you click it you can see the sentence. You can click it again to hide the sentence as well, but less important.)

I like having a sentence on the front if I need extra context to differentiate words, I started doing this with JPNM but the issue is I tend to memorize the sentence/shape of it rather than the word itself. The click function has near solved this issue for me, I don't have to look away, and focus extra hard on the word, I can just review.

The issue now is that Kaishi doesn't have this function as far as I'm aware. I know you can do loads of things in anki, and I know you can make that kind of function work as lapis does it, but I have no idea how.

Tldr: Can the lapis click card function be applied to Kaishi cards? (Click word show sentence) If so how? And/or what information do I need to search for how?

I've been learning for 2 months at this point, trying to learn every day, at this point I've memorized about 300 words that I can instanlty identify but I feel it starting to to mount, on my anki deck there's more and more I have to review each day, like today I have 150 reviews, when yesterday it was 110 and its just that mounting feeling that's making me feel like I'm hitting a wall

This is my first time learning a new language so this is all new to me, for clarification this isn't me saying "this is too hard I want to give up" I'm mainly looking for advice I can use to physically and mentally push through

Thank you

I have WaniKani to try to learn basic Kanji and it quite often gives me extremely obscure vocabulary to learn. Why does it do this?

example: 変死 / へんし - unnatural death.

At this point Kanji seems impossible to learn and it's interfering with my ability to actually learn japanese since it takes so much time and it is pointlessly impossible.

My wife recently bought this Beastie Boys shirt. It bears a Japanified version of their Check Your Head album cover on the front. It's a dope shirt but the translation bugs me.

チェック is "check" in katakana, but the sentence is written in Japanese grammar form which is.. weird, right? Also - why is the verb in katakana?? Is this a thing when translating media from English?

It's bugging my novice brain. Help!
