Hey! I’ve been at a loss lately with my kanjis and I’m having a hard time getting back on track. I’m on level 9 and I’ve been slacking off for about 6 months. Now I’m just stuck at nearly 1200 reviews.:worried: What started off as a vacation (didn’t know about the vacation mode then) quickly turne…
