  • How hard will it get is summarized well in this thread… especially the points that over the two year minimum (a WaniKani construct) your situation is likely to change.

  • How many reviews in later levels depends on how fast you run through things. I find that for me 10 new items a day fits with my setup. That leaves me ~125 reviews a day. Until level ~10 I was doing 20 new items a day, daily reviews were more like 175.
  • I can’t answer this, but because of WK’s goal (teach kanji) they even use it for words that are usually written in Kana. This is boon when you study else where and see where the kana word meaning came from. But it can also be a bit confusing. Also all the grammar points are in hiragana, which means WK isn’t covering them.
  • Lessons per day is a personal choice. But I would recommend the hint about the learning that WK provides a 4hr, 8hr, 1d learning cycle. So that trying to setup a routine that hits the new lesson reviews is worthwhile.
