Description

We are extremely excited to announce the JP1Kv2 deck!

The original version of JP1K was an experiment: could we teach kanji and vocabulary at the same time?

Many people saw success with the v1 deck which demonstrated we were onto a good idea, but there were also some fair criticisms.

For v2, we started from the ground up to address two major issues:

1) The word selection was too specific to the domain of content we analyzed.
2) There were no example sentences.

We're really proud of the result, and we know it's going to be an extremely useful tool for new learners.

Learn more about the deck here.

If you have questions or feedback, please post them in the Japanese server #jp1k-feedback channel.

A lot of hard work and a lot of people helped to make this deck a reality. We want to give a shoutout to symstym, Alumnus, CalculusAce, and williamjr.

Thanks everyone and happy immersing!

JP1K Deck | Refold

Congratulations on starting your Japanese language journey! There's never been a better time to start. The hardest part of learning a new language is building the initial foundation of comprehension. Once you can understand enough to enjoy native media, the whole learning process becomes much easier, and way more fun.

Comments

Tasmai

Are you planning to do something similar for mandarin?

Iwan Thomas

I’m only about 20 words into the original deck so this is perfect timing. Big thanks to everyone that was involved in the making of this deck for your hard work!

Darrell Plant

I'm 40 days into v1, what do you suggest? I see from the FAQ that upgrade is possible but messy.

Dylan

When is the release?

Quinci Cohen

This seems great! I've already worked through V1. Would you recommend doing V2? Or moving on to other things?

Geerzy

This looks amazing. I'm less than 10 days away from having all new cards reviewed at least once on the original JP1K. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? I'm thinking about starting to sentence mine but my comprehension is still very low even with having almost completed JP1K. This makes me want to maybe suspend all cards that I know pretty well on the new deck, and basically use it from the start. I feel like the example sentences and refined word choices will help me understand and remember better.

charles

I just got back into refold yesterday after an unfortunate setback due to schooling, this is impeccable timing!

Šimon Bucher
>>69862350

Same for me. I am gonna probably do the first deck until they won't fix the upgrading

Šimon Bucher
>>69862350

Or maybe i am gonna do like 50 words per day(because i already know them) until i get where i am now in the first release

Dylan
>>69862421

Oh - thanks, I thought this was just the announcement.

Dylan
>>69862780

I would recommend possibly getting into some simple light novels or manga and imputing those into Anki, but I’m also struggling with comprehension myself so I could be wrong.

Ermako

I have just started the original deck a few days ago. Is it worth continuing? Any thoughts?

Ermako
>>69864361

thans for the reply! are you having any issues with the audio? the audio isnt working for me

refold
>>69862572

if you've already completed V1, then we recommend moving on to sentence mining. V2 largely covers the same material, so there's no need to do both.

fuwa

I am over 700 words in the first version. Is there away to combine these 2, should I abandon the first one or move on with it?

Jiddir

Wow. This looks great and way cleaner than the first version.

NekoMisaka

WOOOW I'm 400 through v1, but this new one looks and feels so much cooler, that I'm gonna switch to it (maybe alternating between the two, since v1 has all the repetitions timed) Love being your patron and will support you onward!

Merlin

Looks like I will be a long supporter because I feel like I never learned this much before studying your deck

refold
>>69869485

We're still figuring out how to do an upgrade. You're far enough in that it's not an easy answer for the right approach. The most straightforward option is to suspend new cards in V1 and then suspend known words in V2.

Luigi

Excited for this, I found it difficult to memorize the words without context

Bear Days

Amazing work, I love the sentence examples! <3 thnx

Christoph Märkl

Love the deck, great work! It's really fun to learn with it.

Lorenzo Vogelsang

That's an amazing news! I am loving the sentences and the way the deck is formatted. The "recall the reading/meaning" in every card I think it's very useful

Rafael Collado

This is such an underrated win for Refold!

Dionysis Doe

I just started learning. kanji, This is exactly what I was looking for. A clean UI with example sentences while it challenges me to think about the kanji. Plus vocab! This is great! Completing this deck at what degree would I be regarding everyday kanji readings? such as surfing through websites, reading manga?? Thanks again!

Anonymous

This is wonderful. I did not like v1 so I just went with RRTK, yesterday I completed it and this came at the perfect time. I started it (slowly, 10 cards/day) today and I'm already loving it (having the example phrases is of great help to me)

suzu

Thank you everyone who contributed to this

Jiddir

I really love how the example sentences build off the words and phrases you are currently learning in the deck. I really struggled with the v1 deck as I just couldn't remember most of the words, but having the reinforcement in the sentences is a game changer.

bonk

I've been on the JP1K deck for about a few weeks now and have seen a lot of progress, should I switch to using this deck, finish it and begin this one, or start using both? I'm leaning towards using both with 5 new cards added each day. Thanks so much for your work Matt!

bonk
>>69964688

nevermind I read from others comments, I think I should just start over with this new one :)

Justin

The example sentences really are a game changer. The added context makes new words so much easier to remember, and the i+1 ordering makes the sentences easier to understand than any other sentence deck I've found.

Jonathan Albaladejo Cruz

I had already started the first version of the deck, and had learned over 300 words, so I was hesitant to change to this new version... but God am I glad I did. It's not only how the example sentences are a game changer, but also how the vocabulary of most sentences integrates previously learnt vocabulary and/or soon-to-be-learnt vocabulary. Because of that, whenever I'm going through the Deck, I get many opportunities to practice and re-read previously learnt words. In short, I liked V1 a lot, but I'm completely in love with V2. I can easily tell all the effort that went into making this deck. Thank you for creating it and providing it to us!

NewBelieve

Wow guys, this is absolutely amazing. Thanks to everyone that contributed to this, it's a huge upgrade and there's clear passion put into this project. Absolutely phenomenal!

Jack Vincent

I am absolutely LOVING the new deck. Outstanding work to those that worked on developing it. Like others, I had already progressed through the first deck, and was initially hesitant to start over, but I'm certainly glad that I did. The sentences have added depth to my understanding of words I thought I'd already known.

Tim

Do we have an ETA on when it will be added to Quantized?

Michael Reid

A huge improvement, great work!

I finally fixed it btw in case you are still having issues, I had to log out and back into anki on my desktop which apparently forces a media scan since it was refusing to actually sync the audio to ankiweb.

Hillary Bertoch

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was already on Level 5 of WaniKani when I found Refold and JP1K v.1. I actually had a really hard time doing the JP1K deck for whatever reason as opposed to the WaniKani. I was so excited when I saw this v.2 of the deck and I must say that you all have done an incredible job. The interfacing and added sentences and having pronunciation for the word before you get to the sentence have made studying this newer version by far the easiest to fully comprehend. Thanks for all your hard work!

Greg St. Angelo

The card order is so good this time around and I love the extra immersion exposure you get from reading sentences without having the translation immediately visible. 10/10

Vu Minh Huy

Hello. The media files are missing in Anki iOS after being synchronized from Anki Window. Any solution? Thank you.

MJ Carpenter
>>69862780

Hey Geerzy, I noticed your comment is ~2 weeks old and was wondering what method you used to continue your studies... I'm in virtually the same spot you were in and am wondering if you'd recommend (or not recommend) what you did... If I had to act now, your suggestion to start the new deck & suspend known cards is the way to go since I'm still very dependent on furigana. EDIT: I saw Matt's answer to another comment on this topic recommending using both V1 AND V2 & suspending known cards... that may be the best solution for us unfortunate folks caught in this window.

Geerzy
>>69862780

Hey! I just saw your edit as I was replying and I think that’s the best solution as well. I had a 4 day break while I was trying to figure out what to do and let the reviews pile up on me, but my plan is to use the new deck from the start as it has 300 or so new words, and has example sentences which should make it much more effective. However, any words I come across that I feel like I have mastered from the original deck I’m going to suspend. I’ll probably use the V1 for another month or 2 as well while starting V2.

Donny

Are the options for the v2 cards already preprogrammed with the deck when I downloaded it?

Harrison Theriault

It doesnt really matter, but when i was reviewing card 978 for bunbougu, i found out it meant stationery, but its written stationary on the card. I didnt know what stationery was until that point but the internet told me that its stationEry, bc stationary is just remaining in one place. i honestly didnt know this until that moment so its not super important, but i think its technically a typo. anyways keep up the great work!

Matteo

How do I import this deck to anki

Craig
>>69995328

I second that. The sentences use (mostly) previously intro'd words so I study the sentences to reinforce the vocab. And the grammar is at a good level for study as well. The best intro deck I've used.

Susu2

How do I download the Quantizer deck? I noticed that the Anki deck is still RRTK with no example sentences or words, only kanji.

refold
>>72328834

Hmmm I'm not sure what you mean. The Anki deck linked above has example sentences.

refold
>>72328834

Quantized is also linked above, but it's an online deck. It's not downloadable.

Camilo

I've been trying this new deck for almost a month now, it's incredibly good but a suggestion for you to try harder to find the meaning without struggling so much, the meaning should be hidden after reading the sentence, then together with the "sentence translation" option there should also be the meaning of the word.

Benjamin

Hello quick question : do you have the link to the addon to display only the furigana before the kanji meaning please? Thank you
