Hello everyone! I am at the beginning of my journey to learn Japanese. My goal is to learn what wanikani offers in 2 years. And my ultimate goal is to read (and understand of course) Japanese books and to watch Japanese videos with Japanese subtitles (without them in the long run) I read the unoff…

[image] Elizabella: I’ve been turning to illustrations for some of the kanji whose mnemonics I can’t connect with, and obviously this adds time to my learning, but we do what works for us, right. I’ve been finding in the higher levels a lot of the mnemonics don’t make sense to me, so I’m writ…

[image] damlurker: Today I had something like 120 reviews in one go, and it took me 7mins. Higher levels have harder kanji and vocab, and as time and the SRS goes on, the items from way back will start to appear in your reviews, too. I did 50 reviews just now and that took me 7 min. Btw, I g…

About 20 or so radicals since I unlocked level 4 yesterday. Usually I don’t get any radicals. 120 was just for that single session, I usually do them as soon as they are available (ironically I let 120 build up today since it’s Saturday and I went to a Japanese class then hung out with other studen…

To be fair at level 3 you get a lot of radicals which are really easy and quick and isolated kanji which are easy. At higher levels you get more and more vocabulary which takes up a lot more time and is harder/slower. But yea, some people take way too long to do reviews because they actually study w…

[image] damlurker: I’m just curious on how large these stacks will continue to grow before reaching an equilibrium. If I don’t do my reviews for the next whole week, it will pile up to 1003 items. Does that satisfy your curiosity? :slight_smile: [image]

The stack is not going to grow to 3,000 unless you start skipping days and even then you would need to skip a lot of days. I mean in theory they could, if you just keep getting all the vocab wrong all the time, but in practice the only people who get insane numbers of reviews are people who use reor…

The kanji/vocab get harder but the reason why I specifically asked about radicals is because there’s one “card”. If you visualize the items as actual flashcards, 20 radicals=20 cards. 20 kanji/vocab items=40 cards. I’m also bipolar so sometimes I’m depressed and it might take me a while to do revie…

Yeah, I am curious to see how I will adapt and survive in the higher levels when the kanji gets harder. Maybe do fewer lessons as needed. I do sometimes write my own mnemonics as well when the WK one’s are too random for me to puzzle through. :rofl: But it sounds like you have a good handle on a …

Welcome! I am on WK at least 4 times a day, with my first lesson and set of reviews happening during breakfast. I am considering waking up a little earlier though, like maybe 15 minutes, to do my reviews (if they’re available) so that I can just focus on my lessons during breakfast. Then I do my r…

Yeah I was barely able to catch up to my reviews when was tired two weeks ago. Not only that, but people have different reading, recall and typing speeds (PC/Mobile). On PC I also have scripts like the jitai font randomizer, which ups some challenge and delays me quite a bit when it’s a bit tricky …

WaniKani Requesting Help

By the way, if you haven’t already, I highly recommend installing the user script “Wanikani Ultimate Timeline”:

It will really help with visualizing upcoming reviews and planing your schedule. Without it feels like flying blind.
