Hey Wanikani people first time poster, So I just figured out that I got to level 5 but it has taken me 300 days with an average level up of 74 days. I can’t find a single anecdote online of anyone else taking nearly this long. I will say I am only just figuring out the best study schedule and the i…

There is no set time on how long one level should take you. It really depends on your own pace and how easy or hard it is for you to learn new things. But would you mind sharing how many times you review daily? How do you approach Lessons, do you do all of them at once or a given set of new content…

Though I rarely say this, 74 days per level might be a bit extreme, that means 12 years to reach level 60. What are your study methods? How many reviews and how many lessons do you do each day? How many sessions do you have? 1? 2? 3? A session here would be a time where you sit down and just focus …

Since this is important to most responders I am going to put my study methods in this post. So previously to about a month ago I had tried to do lessons only when my apprentices where below 20 and I would review once a day. I am now on better schedule of 5-10 lessons a day and reviews once in the mo…

If I looked at my stats right now, the first few levels would be within a week or so each time but the most recent levels for me now are taking about 4-6 weeks or longer. Take your time, get to grips with how you learn best and don’t stress too much about it. If you use additional sources like readi…

[image] learner4312: my apprentices where below 20 and I would review once a day Yeah, that would’ve been a big issue, that means you can only advance at around 20 items per week, which means at least 5 or so weeks per level, which maches with your 34. 5-10 lessons is a much healthier number,…

If you are doing 5-10 Lessons a day and are reviewing them 2-3 times a day your average time for a level up should decrease a lot, as long as you don´t have an abysmal accuracy. Trying to keep your apprentice items below 20 is a little extreme (as you figured out already I assume). Most people try …

Simple answer: Yes. Why? because as far as I’m aware levels 1-3 are fast levels meaning they should take you like half the time of a regular level (3.5 days to level instead of 7 at maximum speed). So what you need to consider here is that actually, you’re now at level 5, you’re onto slow levels,…

Nooo! Join us at the Durtling scenic route! [image] durtle_hello Let's Durtle the Scenic Route turtle WaniKani Lets Durtle the Scenic Route is a group similar to the “lets level together” groups. durtle_hello But in this group we don’t aspire to level fast, we are taking …
