Some quick background, I've been using wanikani for about 16 months, and Anki for about 6 now. Using them in tandem to find out what best works for me. The deck I used for Anki would automatically play the audio for the vocab word as well as include the furigana.
So far I've noticed that for vocab originating from wanikani, I recognize it fairly easily when reading comprehensive input, but struggle recognizing it when listening to input, and vice versa for the anki cards, when I'm listening to input I can pick up even my anki vocab that are even in the very early stages, but struggle recognizing them in reading input.
I did a dry-run today of my Anki vocab with the reading and autoplay audio removed, and it became pretty clear as day.
So my question is, is there any way I can get the best of both worlds, strike some kind of balance? Am I just not focusing enough on the kanji in Anki and not enough on the vocab readings in Wanikani? Or is there some other method that could build up both skills at a reasonably similar pace?
(In terms of wanikani bc of how it's structured, I often see vocab that I've even gotten up to Burned still as just two or more separate Kanji and then have to parse the meaning from there individual meanings, instead of just recognizing it as a whole vocabulary term, which I think might be why I struggle to recognize them when hearing just the reading).
