Hi! So I’ve logged in for the first time since September last year (though last year I think I logged in once, got overwhelmed and left again) just because I’ve been so busy. I started university in October studying Japanese and Global Politics, and on top of that I was working 40 hours a week, so …

Welcome back! I’ve been in the same position. There was nothing else to do but learn how to pace yourself, make the mistakes, slowly bring your reviews down and let the SRS do the work for you. If you still feel overwhelmed and still want to continue to reset, do so. I’m sure the senpai here will h…

Thank you! And don’t worry, taking lessons until I was all caught up was something I did not even entertain the thought of Oh, did they change all/most of the mnemonics?

Mhm, just checked when (December ‘18). At this point, resetting may not be a bad idea after all. [image] WaniKani Content Overhaul Announcements WaniKani has gone through some ch-ch-ch-changes! To reiterate the announcement from Monday: 1. Radical Names Al…

omg thank you for telling me that, you have saved me a lot of time being confused! I’ll reset today and get started properly tomorrow since tomorrow is a new month :blush: Also, this is kind of topic, but do you also learn the stroke order at the same time of learning new kanji?

No, but I wish I had! Although, you might want to learn the stroke order by joyo kanji order instead of WK order? That way, you can always access material made for ES students! coughs うんこ漢字 coughs

I took the hit the other day and reset to 1 from level 17. I have to say, it wasn’t as demoralizing as I expected! I feel like anything you truly knew, it’ll go by quickly. Anything else was probably a leech item anyway and you’ll benefit from having the new mnemonics :grin:

This might be just my own opinion, but I never see the point of resetting. Like, you’re gonna end up in the same position anyways (especially on level freaking five). If you forgot the mnemonics, just read them again when you make a mistake, instead of resetting and doing the lessons again. Maybe th…

[image] Nenad: I wouldn’t even reset when I’m lvl60/all burned. Seems a better use of my time and money to just read native material and remind myself that way. If there’s something that I really need to drill into my brain again, I’d just add it to an Anki deck and drill it that way. That se…

[image] ExempliG: Of course, studying all comes down to preference and personal experience :slight_smile: You do you. I feel the same way. If you feel like you wanna review the material again, then do it. It doesn’t hurt to learn things over.

I was in the same position beginning of July. Except for that I got stuck in Lvl 4 for several years. I just reset everything and started from Lvl one all over again. No big deal at Lvl 4 or 5. You will catch up in a month in very logical order. Of course that’s only if you really think you don’t k…
