I fell off some time last year, and when I checked back after a couple of months over 1.300 reviews were staring me in the face. Plus all the new lessons, of level 15, I haven’t even started yet.
It took me more than 3 months and living in Japan for most of that time to burn over 1.000 items, get another 600 from Apprentice to Guru and finally finish Level 15 after almost 600 days.
Being in Japan I see newly learned Kanji almost immediately and while I mostly need to work on my listening and sentence forming (basically everything Wanikani doesn’t help with), I’m looking forward to keeping on track and regaining my 2-3 week per level schedule.
I still have roughly 900 reviews left to do, until I reach 0, but that is, because I added new things through the lessons. Now that I’ve taken that hurdle for now, I can relax and start bringing that number down as well.
I hope I didn’t forget too many burned items, and since I sort by SRS level, a lot of “mastered” items will probably crash down pretty hard. But slow and steady wins the race. Let’s go toward the future!
