Four more days and your subscription is up.

Still no plan to re-up, not even for another month?

Though honestly, if you feel like you have learned it all well enough it’s certainly OK to move on.

At this point, my main reaction to my WK subscription ending is FREEEEDOOOMMM!

So that you can start doing Anki? :wink:

I’ve tried Anki a couple times but didn’t like it. I’ve thought about doing Bunpro again though.

Bunpro is cool, but don’t activate bunny mode: you lose the vocal reinforcement when you answer right.

Well this is it. My subscription has finally expired. To be honest, I’m almost glad that I don’t have to spend so much time every day on Wanikani any more.

It’s crazy that even a month after hitting level 60, my reviews were still taking me an hour and 12 minutes a day on average, every day. A month after hitting level 60, my Apprentice count is still at 137. In fact, my Apprentice count has only dipped below 100 at all twice since April, back when I was still in the low levels. It’s really funny because a lot of people advocate keeping your Apprentice count below 100, but mine was never not above 100!

Anyway, so long and thanks for all the kanjis. I hope this log proves useful to future Japanese learners and Wanikani users.

Here is the final summary of all the times in this log:

week 1: 126  78  91  86 133  96  85 total: 695 (avg  99)
week 2: 165  84  85  75 133  94  87 total: 723 (avg 103)
week 3: 142  98 100 110 155 112  93 total: 810 (avg 116)
week 4: 183 109 113 106 167 109 100 total: 887 (avg 127)
week 5: 160 109 108  89 168 102 106 total: 842 (avg 120)
week 6: 135 106 111 105 117  99 131 total: 804 (avg 115)
week 7: 117  85  84  94  89  80  80 total: 629 (avg  90)

Congratulations l_l!

You did it! Well, you had done it quite a while ago when you hit 60, but you at least stuck it out to the tail end of your subscription.

Good luck and keep learning!
