It’s not okay to encourage new users to be slow. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but hear me out. I said that going slow is not something to be proud of, because what we should be proud of is of the kanji we have learned. Yes, there are people that reach lvl 60s with long level up times, but ta…

I do somewhat agree with him that it may be bad if you are doing them on a whim because you don’t really feel like doing them most of the time, because if that is the case then you will really struggle later on when there are significantly more lessons/reviews. Assuming you just started and didn’t …

[image] anon95214108: I’m kinda sick of the thread now, no new information has been posted by people not agreeing with me. I mean almost 100 replies are more than enough. But I leave it for users that might find my observation useful. People like to play around, don’t mind it. I think the po…

Should I ignore my job? Should I ignore my wife and daughter? You’re right, learning kanji isn’t my priority, being a father is. I must be a terrible person who should just give up. :+1:

Just throwing in my experiences here. I went as fast as I could for my first 37 levels. That was fine, WK was a routine thing that I prioritized along with some basic grammar (I was a total noob), because I was preparing myself for a trip to Japan so that I wouldn’t be completely useless there. So …

That’s a MUCH nicer way to put it :clap::clap::clap: This entire backlash could have been avoided with the “However, if you’re willing to take your time because Japanese is purely something you do for leisure, then that’s perfectly fine. Do whatever speed you wish to.”

I know I’m just repeating what others have already said, but to beat this dead horse–going slow is the biggest reason why I’m still going. I started to burn out hard on level 17. My motivation was shot and I was getting really discouraged. I made the decision to take twice as long on levels, just to…

Slow and proud here. I always encourage new users to slow down. Especially those who are new to SRS. They can always speed up after they get to level 6 and find out how much the reviews accumulate… Slow down, new users.

I’m going to ignore of all the previous posts and get right to the point, for the sake of time. [image] anon95214108: “But I have a life you know…” Yes you have a life, much like other wanikaners. Do you mean you are more busy than other lvl 60s (that got there in 1-2 years? That’s a strong ass…

Its becoming hard to tell if people make problematic threads like this because they’re trolls or just because they struggle with tone and extreme language when trying to get their points across :thinking: (Also I love your avatar)
