Progress updates
March 16 2023
WK level: 28
Quartet chapter: 1
Taking a break from WK to focus on grammar, listening, and recall.
September 4 2023
After a four month break, I reset to level 20, and continued at a pace of two kanji + max eight vocab per day. I’m spending a lot less time on WK and anki, and more on Satori Reader. I’ve also stopped Bunpro for the time being.
November 14 2023
WK level: 25
Quartet chapter: 3
Completely stopped using Anki and switched to Kamesame, which I feel is much more effective. Writing is getting easier. Listening… eh, still my worst skill. It’s been three months now since I reset, and I really like doing two kanji and eight vocab per day. I’ll have to stay on top of this pace though if I want to get to level 28 by the end of the year.
