WaniKani has a number of different settings related to audio, lessons, and reviews that you can change to suit your preference.

Audio Settings

Choose between 5 vocabulary pronunciation audio preferences:

• Masculine Only: Kenichi audio plays when it’s available. If Kenichi audio is unavailable, no audio plays.

Preferred Lesson Batch Size: The default number is 5 lessons (individual items) before a quiz. If you want to learn more or less radicals, kanji, or vocabulary before the quiz, you can adjust this anywhere from 3 to 10 lessons.

Maximum Recommended Daily Lessons: Set the maximum number of “Today’s Lessons” you will get per day. The maximum value is 100 and the minimum is 0.

Interleave Advanced Lessons: Controls whether lessons selected on the Advanced Lessons page are mixed or ordered by lesson order.

SRS Update Indicator During Reviews: During the review session the SRS change indicator will appear for items completed.

Review Ordering:

Choose one of the following four options to change how we order your Review queue.

• Shuffled: The default Reviews ordering. All review items appear in a random order. Recommended setting if you are regularly clearing your Review queue.
• Apprentice First: Prioritize Apprentice items first. These are the items you are more likely to forget quickly. Doing these lower SRS stage items on time will help with retention. After reviewing your Apprentice level items, all remaining review items are shuffled. This is a good option for people who usually get their Reviews done. But, on days when you are busy, you can prioritize your Apprentice level Reviews then come back the next day to catch up on the rest. Don’t let those higher SRS stage items sit for too long, though. You’ll eventually forget them, too.
• Lower SRS Stages First: Prioritize review items in order of SRS stage. Apprentice → Guru → Master → Enlightened. This is a decent option if you are “catching up” after a break. Or, if you’re just really busy for a period of time and can’t complete all of your Reviews.
• Lower Levels First: Items in your Reviews are still random, but we prioritize showing items from lower levels, first. You might want to use this option to clear backlogs of older content, or to prioritize lower-level leeches.
