So, I’m at 11th level and after a short trip to Japan I lost the motivation for about a year. A couple of months ago I tried to go through my 852 reviews, but, even though I remember part of it perfectly, the rest is extremely painful. I don’t remember the vocab (i.e. master-level), so I lookup the…

you can just work away at your reviews and let the SRS do its thing. the correct-percentage will probably be abysmal but if you’re not bothered by that you’ll be up to speed again in no time. if not, there’s always that precious reset option, though. maybe just a few levels, so those newer kanji do…

I’ve let it it build up to over 700 reviews at least a couple times, and sit there for a year or more. What works for me is reducing the remaining amount of reviews by about 100 each day, and then when it’s under 300 I can usually power through the rest in a day. It’s okay to get things wrong, that…

Everything @Darcinon said. I chose to reset after I came back, but if you just focus on reviews for a while, you might not have to. I would do 100-200 reviews per day, and watch them die off, until you’re back in the swing of it. The SRS will do it’s thing, and you’ll be powering ahead within wee…

I came back to more (1800 reviews) after longer (3 years) and just sat down and did it all in one go. Took me over 12 hours, with little breaks. Most of those are burned now, but there will be a big 500er followup session soon, which I plan to do in one go again. I’ll repeat this until all the old i…

Most recently I came back after a 2 year+ break, but I’ve also taken breaks of around 6 months-1 year before. I’ve never reset a level, just slowly chipped my way through the mountain of reviews and accepted that getting things wrong is to be expected. Having said that, I also have still studied Ja…

[image] anon88459823: just do it! Yep. I took about 9 months off. Just push through it.

[image] OmukaiAndi: I had decided to give myself a maximum of 3 seconds to answer and, in case I couldn’t, type “lala” and hit enter. I like “nn” for this. Might as well burn out that ‘n’ key even faster than WK already makes me.

nn is definitely a good alternative, less to type :wink:

I usually type some variation of “ksjbg” :sweat_smile:
