Using Yomichan to Learn Japanese

May 18, 2021

This will be a short post. It just contains all of the code and settings from my video "How to Set Up Yomichan with Anki" over on YouTube. The video is embedded below.

Copy and Paste the following code into your Anki Deck format. You can play with Styling in any way you choose.
