I reset in December from level 22ish after having abandoned WK for 3 years. Now I am back. But my speed is going to be significantly slower from here on. I am aiming at 10 new items a day now, so this is gonna take a while. I’ve learned the hard way that I am not able to keep up with my reviews if I go full speed as I used to.
Similar boat as you (except for the N5/N4- congrats on passing N5) - started WK a long time ago and then took nearly 6yrs off. Reset in October last year - Good luck!
I’m working with this anki deck - I do about 10 cards a day, which seems super slow, lol. But taking everything slow this time around.
finally someone with a similar level up chart as me ![]()
kind of floating on level 54 for over 260 days… no idea where all those days went ![]()
…right?
People referring to 50s as “fast levels” feels like more salt to the wound ![]()
Whenever I see a high-level user’s level-up chart, I always check to see if they did the fast levels.
“Huh… interesting” is my reaction either way.
Keep in mind that it’s very likely all of us low-levels are closely examining whether you did the fast levels. ![]()
New post for painful levels - level 19 now. The past few levels seem faster even though I’m doing the same number of lessons per day.
But now work is getting crazy - so after much internal debate, I’m dropping my daily lessons from 15->5. Progress will be much slower, but I’m hoping this will help my sanity.
Previous Levels
Thank you!
though it can be better because I slowed down after reaching level 50.
Also I saw your progress post and I think you do better then me. If you are consistent with your progress I believe you’ll reach level 60 in less than 2 years. Keep up the good work!
I keep taking long breaks but I always come back. As you can see, my most recent break has been for ~a year, and I was afraid I’d have to reset again, but I managed to tackle the mountain of nearly 1000 reviews with fairly good accuracy and now I am back on track and should level up in a couple days
Finally hit level 21 so I figured I’d post here. Level 20 is now my first 6day+20hour level.
My first level is screwy because I only did my first lesson 34 days after signup (I think around Oct. 14th).
I lagged a bit around levels 8-10. And although you can’t see it, I had serious trouble with level 19 (I was sick and didn’t feel like studying, so I managed to fall behind on vocab for bit).
Thats great you managed to come back to it despite having a year off. Plus you managed to not reset again. Well done.
Nah - you seem pretty consistent, nothing to worry about in the painful levels! (famous last words? I’m nearly LVL15
)
Wow that was so fast. I can’t believe you did it so fast.
Hehe. Thanks ![]()
But yeah… It is possible with some tweaks ![]()
