It's not much but I just made it to level 5

I just reached Level 5. I know I am just scratching the surface but I can’t believe I have made it this far. Learning Japanese and especially learning Kanji has always seems so impossible… BUT I am doing it!

Congrats! :tada: I just hit level 7 today and I feel the same way. Learning kanji always seemed like such a daunting and impossible task, but with WaniKani it’s really fun :smiley:

Congrats!! Just keep plugging away steadily, day by day, and you will surprise yourself at how far you can go. The human brain is made to learn, and as long as it gets practice doing something, it will surely begin to learn it. WaniKani (and other SRS systems, but especially WK’s use of mnemonics) is ‘just’ a tool that facilitates that natural learning process by providing some automatic structure to it. Very very convenient, but ultimately it’s your brain that’s doing this magic! :thinking: :astonished: :sunglasses: :+1:

Congrats! No need to diminish this achievement. You’ve done what probably 99% of the people out there won’t: you started learning, and you kept showing up. Making it to level 5 is a big sign of that. Years ago I started learning Japanese and although the journey wasn’t quite like I imagined, it is definitely something that I’m very glad I started, and I plan to continue doing. I hope the language brings the same kind of joy and fulfillment to you as well. Just remember to enjoy yourself and keep celebrating your growth, no matter how small it may seem.

@masher81-san, you are my inspiration! I just made it to level 3 after too many starts and stops. And I think, oh my goodness, I’d love to be at level 5! I will someday join @masher81! So glad you are sticking to it and enjoying the learning process.

Thank you! I’m finally learning to enjoy it rather than berating myself for when I get things wrong. That’s the key - leaning into my wins! Thank you so much for the warm welcome. :relaxed:

You’re doing great! The hardest part is starting something new and fighting through the new habit. Well done!
