It’s been a long time since we’ve posted something on the blog! Fear not, it’s almost entirely due to laziness. We’ve been doing a lot of little updates between now and the last time we posted, including but not limited to things like:

Vacation Mode: Pause your reviews so that when you get back from that beach house your reviews will be right where you left them.

“Wrap Up” Button: When you want to stop reviewing hit this button and no new items will be added to your review session (but you will be able to finish items that are part way done).

SSL everywhere!

Bug fixes

More items

More more more!

But there were some pretty big updates as well (hint: they’re mentioned in the title of this post).

Audio: We finished adding all the audio. Well, most of it at least. We’re going back and adding audio for items that were added after the original list was made, and that should be done soon. Anyways, now you can enjoy audio for 99% of vocab items!

Context Sentences: We added the capability to add context sentences in vocab. These sentences help you to understand how a word can be used. They are also somewhat interesting to read, so do enjoy them. We have only just started adding them in, but be on the lookout for them!

Parts Of Speech: Another much requested feature! The capability to add in “parts of speech” for vocab has been added and we will be adding this information in over time as well. If you see N/A it just means we haven’t gotten to that word yet.

Before we ignore the WaniKani blog for another six months, I just wanted to say thank you all for using WaniKani! We hope these improvements make your rumbly tummy feel better.
