I finished the free 3 levels and successfully upgraded and now reached level 4. I’ve been studying Japanese for a few months now (self studying & now with an italki teacher) and my biggest problem has always been remembering kanji. I couldn’t seem to remember any kanji at all. Now, in less than a month, I’ve successfully learned 81 kanji. I know that compared to the big number of 2000+ kanji that’s not much at all, but thanks to wanikani I went from knowing like 3 characters to knowing 81, and that’s definitely progress! Which is why I made the decision to purchase a subscription and continue on.
I am still on level two, almost through it, and I’m not going to lie it’s been challening. So seeing another person get past the trial period and moved to a paid account really makes me want to get there too. Definitely not giving up now!
I know how you feel about being excited about just a few Kanjis. I cherish the small amount that I have learned.
