I’m just curious! Is there like a ‘common’ point where there’s a wall, and if you push past it you’re on the home straight? I’m only on level 5, but I’m curious to know if there are ‘standard’ levels where people tend to give up/take a long break? Was there a particular point when you nearly threw…

Ah, no, that was a “2020 never happened” joke. Or possibly “It’s still March 2020. March the 407th”.

Haha, yeah, that’s a good point. After a big screw up, there’s kind of a relief afterwards where everything else doesn’t seem so bad. :wink:

I’ve never thought about quitting once I started wanikani but my motivation really hit a wall after I took the N2 in December, felt pretty confident that I’d passed, and the kanji in the levels I was doing were becoming much less familiar so I was having to work harder at learning them. With no tes…

Some levels I go as fast as I can. Others I’m stuck on for 2 months. Slowest level was 17 but I was doing other stuff. Took me 90+ days Hardest level has been level 23. I feel like I have no motivation to study.

I have to say the whole range of level 35-40 is kind of a strange stretch. A bunch of kanji that are semantically unrelated but visually similar, with abstract definitions and vocabulary that is pretty uncommon in day to day life. I’m not sure why they chose to put these here, probably just to kno…

I have made 20830 mistakes so far… :sweat_smile:

I haven’t yet gotten to any point of feeling like quitting, but definitely some frustration which mostly relates to mental tiredness seeing 100+ reviews some mornings after waking up. Though I am fully aware this isn’t really that bad considering I’m currently on level 16, so I’ll just march on …

Well, the one on the right at least is an abbreviation of 門 that you’re definitely gonna see in the real world, so it’s definitely worth persisting at that. Just… maybe get the printed one firmly established in your mind before you start dealing with kanji abbreviations. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah I’m slowly learning to recognise many of the shapes when I get these fonts show up in reviews haha. I do check them if I really can’t figure it out, but sometimes I’m so sure but I end up being wrong :laughing:

I was tempted to quit many times, but going by my past forum threads, level 38 was the worst.
