Added Remembering the Katakana in 3 Hours to the list. This was harder to do than I thought it would be at first. The sorting was done by doing the Katakana list in RTK then doing that same list as Hiragana and merge them for the sorting program. I then needed to pick out the Katakana specific words and top rank them when sorted by kana. Decided to include non-katakana words to take advantage of the Core 2k/6k audio but always opted to katakana if it was available. Once I imported the sorted and edited list into Memrise I opted to do a Hiragana to Katakana testing and remove Romaji entirely. I figured, fuck it, you got your fill of Romaji with the Hiragana deck.
Overall, I think both of the Kana decks in Memrise should be very effective for beginners. It's a mix of recognition with reading and audio. There's no input but really people have the option on their own to write out words when first learning or to do it if they miss a word and the review pauses to show the missed card.
Anyway, after this the next few decks will not be as tedious since I'm not having to create word entries. However, there will be the tedious step of activating audio but that's not too bad. I just have to do it 12,000 times for the vocabulary plus gods knows how many times for the subs2srs drama decks.
