[image] shinra808: I was thinking about resetting back to level 15 I’ve never seen the value of resetting to a lower level. Rather I have paused WK in order to re-study and help solidify the kanji that I have learned already. Lately I have been using the Kakehashi app (available for both iOS…

What I remember was that it was the only language offered, but considering that was almost 30 years ago (yeah, I’m dating myself) I can 100% admit my memory is probably wrong. I just have no recollection of anyone else taking any other language.
