MY FIRST BURNS AHSFHSK

I was finishing up some reviews and got the ol’ “Oh boy new reviews!!” and was kinda annoyed but then they turned out to be burns yay!

[Pizh]

So I’m assuming that you’re on the maximum speed as well. Welcome fellow “死Death”. There is only “地獄Hell” ahead of us.

Seriously though, things start to get out of hand on my side now lol.

Thanks hahaha
Yeah I try to make it in 7 days a level but I get lazy so it’s 8
Only hell for us even in paradise

Congratulations!
Also, your avatar matches this topic title quite well:

Nice! The workload will see a noticeable uptick from here…

Nice! At two thousand burns now it actually feels kinda bad to burn things…

Like, “Oh? I wasn’t sure, but that was right? And now it’s burned and I won’t see it again?”

@vanfem

And now it’s burned and I won’t see it again?

With this, if you were to never see it again anywhere in your Japanese journey, then continuing to drill it isn’t a productive use of time.

If it does come up with any sort of regularity, you’ll get to naturally review it and reinforce it as you see it.

Given that the goal is to eventually move past WaniKani, burning is less “goodbye” and more “until next time.”

Mentally preparing

I understand that, but there are some mitigating factors for me, namely:

1. As of recently WK is my primary (and sole) source of Japanese exposure.
2. This feeling only happens with the items I wasn’t sure of - so I get the “ask me again in a week just to be sure” kind of feel.
