I’ll try to keep this short and sweet (compared to my embarrassingly-long and emotional introduction).
I’m very motivated to use this site to its end and learn Japanese, BUT, I’ve been very motivated at trying/learning new things in the past, and would quickly lose interest after some days… Therefore:
I, Bravefoot, solemnly give permission to anyone and everyone to shout angrily at me until I become deaf of hearing, so that I return to working on my Japanese, on the happestance that I stopped learning, or that I have stopped updating my log. This I do swear.
That should be split up:
When do you want to complete Level 10, 20, etc.?
It might be better if you split it so you can try to stay on track… and it’s more fun to be like: “I reached this milestone!”
Just remember that the first two levels are faster (and 42+ is its own story)
P.S. WK on motivation alone won’t work - it needs to be a habit: do all your reviews every day, and do lessons when you’re comfortable adding more items and only for as long as you are.
Hello welcome. I would recommend learning grammar at the same time you do Wanikani. Doing Wanikani by itself without any other outside study is a good way to forget things you learn in Wanikani. Not only will you be able to practice the things you learn, but you will stay more motivated as you will be able to immerse yourself in native content a lot sooner than you would think.
Oh oh oh, just so you’re forewarned (if you plan on just editing that one top post for the next two years) - Discourse has a maximum character count for posts, so you might run out, haha. We usually recommend using the top for a summery and putting any texty updates in the comments
It’ll also be easier for us to watch your thread if that’s what you’re going for, since we don’t get notified if you edit, but we can when you make new posts!
