Got my first set of vocabulary lessons, and… Nothing really stuck Up until then, I was doing pretty good with just single kanji, and I thought everything was going amazingly well…
In retrospect, I had just woken up when I did those lessons, and my brain was still half-asleep, so that might have contributed to the problem…
Note to future self: DO NOT do lessons first thing when you wake up!!

It gets worse… but you don’t have to do them all immediately. You may want to set a target Apprentice count and not do lessons while it’s above that number…

Yes, I only did some, and left the rest to do them over the course of the day

Cool. Just remember that you can spread it out over several days without even breaking speed - remember only the radicals are needed to unlock the second half kanji. You can spread out the vocab lessons (as long as you actually do them, of course)
Of course, at level 2, you should be fine doing it all in one day, but this is more for the future when you have a higher amount of reviews and lessons.

Don’t scare me like that
Random question, but what does that number under everyone’s profile picture signify? At first I thought it showed your Wanikani level, but I still have a “1” even after I levelled up…
Does the forum have user levels?

It is your WaniKani level; the problem is, Discourse often fails to update it in time.
If you want it to update, you have to log out and log in again.

Note to future self:
Careful when memorising those mnemonics. They’re working a bit too well sometimes. Just today I wrote ‘Godzilla’ as the meaning for the 午 kanji because of that little story…
Better count to ten before entering the answers next time

Did you know if you type three dashes in a row on its own line, you get a horizontal line, like this?
Also, here’s your shout for not updating on October 3rd and 6th.

Nope, but now I know
Ugh! I swear I’ll change it to update the log every week… Every 3 days is too often, most of the time nothing happens

I can’t remember the amount of times I’ve been confused between 午, 生 and 牛

Joining you here! I’m just two days in so everything is SLOOOOOOW but I’m looking forward to getting cooking here soon.
I’ll be back Monday to yell at you about katakana (I’ve been learning Japanese for a long time outside WK so I don’t share that goal, but good luck!). Keep us updated!
