Ankidrone Anki Decks

August 13, 2024 — Tatsumoto Ren

Our Anki decks are organized into a comprehensive system designed to guide learners through the process of mastering the Japanese language using the AJATT method.


Kana

Learning kana, the Japanese writing system consisting of hiragana and katakana, is the first step in learning Japanese. If you haven't learned kana yet, it's recommended to read Learning Kana In Two Days and complete one of the kana decks before moving on.

Beginner

Ankidrone Foundation contains the most fundamental vocabulary for beginners starting AJATT. The deck makes it eaiser to recogznize kanji by following the JP1K method. The JP1K method instructs learners to actively recall kanji readings and meanings during card reviews, without penalizing incorrect readings. This approach allows beginners to focus on building a strong vocabulary base while gradually improving their kanji reading skills.

Mining deck

After completing Ankidrone Foundation, all AJATTers must start building their own mining deck. A mining deck is a personalized deck that you create yourself, filling it with sentences you encounter while immersing in Japanese. This process is known as sentence mining. To start your mining deck and understand the desired card format, download the examples.

Vocabulary

Ankidrone Essentials is a supplementary deck that provides Targeted Sentence Cards to be used alongside sentence mining. The contents of the deck include words commonly used in daily life in Japan and basic vocabulary used on the JLPT tests. Learning this deck is not required, as it can be substituted with sentence mining. However, we believe that many learners will benefit from it, especially individuals who don't always have enough time in a day to create Anki cards.

Sentences

Ankidrone Sentence Pack is a large collection of voiced sentences that can be used as a sentence bank.


By following this structured approach, combined with immersion in native Japanese content, learners can achieve fluency in the Japanese language using the AJATT method.
