Update! N1, A1, and A2 Vocab Sentences (Jan 12th, 2024)

Yeah, really hope there could be a good way to distinguish between them all.

I have seen so many of these onomatopoeia words and get them all confused and basically just guess every time - I’m probably getting worse at knowing which one is which every time I encounter one in the SRS system :sweat_smile:

Are we still getting decks for the A lists?

A1 Deck | Bunpro
A2 Deck | Bunpro
A3 Deck | Bunpro
A4 Deck | Bunpro
A5 Deck | Bunpro
A6 Deck | Bunpro
A7 Deck | Bunpro
A8 Deck | Bunpro
A9 Deck | Bunpro
A10 Deck | Bunpro
A11 Deck | Bunpro
A12 Deck | Bunpro
A13 Deck | Bunpro
A14 Deck | Bunpro
A15 Deck | Bunpro
A16 Deck | Bunpro
A17 Deck | Bunpro
A18 Deck | Bunpro
A19 Deck | Bunpro
A20 Deck | Bunpro

They all exist and you can use them but they aren’t formalized with deck art etc.

It’s great to be able to access the decks!
I’m wondering if there was any particular way of deciding what went in each “A” deck, or was it effectively random?
For example, it seems when looking through that katakana words can appear in any of the decks, but they’re usually in the earlier units :thinking:

The order is alphabetical which is why those would appear at the start.

There also isn’t any logic behind what is in A1 versus A20, they are just words. That being said, we started from A1 for making sentences so the lower decks have sentences while higher decks wouldn’t yet.

Since A1 and A2 already have example sentences, would it be possible to enable Reading mode for Review Types? Currently, only Translate is selectable even though this deck has had example sentences for about a year now. Thank you :bowing_woman:t2:

Noticed this, too, and would also love to get the reading mode for all vocab that already got example sentences.

These new decks look awesome, but for their SRS purpose it might feel weird to keep advancing over the vocab list alphabetically. It would be great if there was a way to sort them by each word frequency metrics, so that we can study first the most useful stuff.

Great work nevertheless!

If you go inside the Deck, then press the Cogwheel in the top right, you’ll find the Deck Settings area which houses the ‘Sorting Order’ feature shown in this screenshot. Should have what you’re looking for!

My bad for not noticing it. You guys are always one step ahead! Thanks :grin:

+1 to this!

It’d be great to have this to help supplement words I pick up in everyday life.

Another +1 to this! It would be great to know the timetable for when fill-in response will be available for each A deck. (apologies if it’s been announced elsewhere, I searched and couldn’t find it)

I’d appreciate the fill-in option too! Every time I find a new common word out in the wild, I come to Bunpro to check if it is in any N* for adding it to my reviews. But I’m not doing it with the vocab in the A decks for now since I want to stick with Cloze

Same. I just flat out don’t get the same retention results from a single word ‘translate’. Without the sentences and context I only remember the words from the Kanji.

Same. It’s not only the retention is worse, it’s also harder to spot the word in the wild, if I hadn’t seen it used in sentences here on bunpro. Sentences are the natural environment for vocab after all :slight_smile:
