I know this has been discussed many times, and you have your memory philosophy, but as you said yourself: everyone is different. We learn at different speeds and have different time frames available for studying. In my case, I can only put in the work 2 times a week but 6-8 hours/day. As far as I kn…

I really enjoy the way this site is constructed and appreciate the free rescources on tofugu, they’ve been a huge help for starters. But I just can’t help but notice the hypocricy of claiming “you won’t have to wait for the slowest student in your class” when I have to wait for an arbitrary schedul…

I just want to add some input here as well. It’s not really about waiting for the slowest student, it’s just that by virtue of the way that an SRS system works, it starts out slow and then ramps up. I used to be around level 20 a few years ago before I took a break and reset my level, and I remembe…

When I started WaniKani with a friend we were really annoyed at the first few levels. Then we got past level 5 and now we complain every day about the 2-300 daily reviews. The beginning is weird. Do your first 4 levels and see how you feel then. Also, I really recommend doing kaniwani in parallel. …

[image] MesJ: when I have to wait for an arbitrary scheduling system Just to save you a bit of research, SRS timings aren’t arbitrary. They are designed to give you a review right as you are about to forget it, which reinforces it in your memory stronger than it was before. The timings come f…

Thank you for all the great comments, guys! I guess I’ll just hang on at least until I reach level 3 or maybe sub just for a month and see how it goes. I’ll also definitely check out Kaniwani! If you know of any other resources I can use to multiply the workload from WaniKani, I’d love to learn abo…

I used to feel exactly like you and kanji.garden seemed really appealing to me. It is still an SRS but it allows you to skip kanji and srs levels as you see fit. You can also study as many kanji as you want. I recommend checking that out. It’s very flexible but I learned nothing from it. It’s free …

So much this. It’s hard to see at level 1-3, but the workload can rapidly get out of control if you let it especially if you do all of your lessons as soon as they pop up. And if you miss a day? Prepare to be buried under reviews.

That looks great! :smiley: It’s just on early levels there’s literally nothing to do. I guess I will focus on other things, like typing or pronunciation… I really hope it picks up soon and fast.

I think time restriction on learning curve is horrible
