I’ve just leveled up from level 32 to 33 without having taken all the kanji lessons for level 32. Is this a bug or an update I missed? My impression so far is that you must have all kanji lessons taken + items in Guru status to be able to level up. Has this changed or am I having some sort of hallucination?
Your level shown in the community may not reflect the latest level - logging out and then logging back in should fix it.
As for your other question, although I’m not an ‘expert’, I believe that you can level up when you have passed X out of Y new kanji in a lesson. (Where X is something less than Y).
It just happened to me, going from level 10 to level 11 - I still had lots and lots of level 10 vocabulary that I had not yet unlocked, let alone learned, and several kanji that I either had not learned or had not reviewed enough times, but I guess that is the way that it works.
Thanks for your answer. I’m aware that vocabs are not mandatory for leveling up, but so far I had the impression that kanji items were mandatory… And I’m definitely missing kanji lessons from level 32…
you have to pass at least 90% of the kanji to pass a level.
consequently it is quite possible to level-up before doing all the lessons, even before doing all the kanji lessons.
unless you are using a script to reorder your lessons it is nothing to be concerned about. however, if you are reordering your lessons, you will probably need to pay a little attention to keeping your kanji and vocab lessons balanced (i.e. not letting your kanji lessons get too far ahead of your vocab lessons).
Thanks! So it’s 90% and not 100%. I don’t know how I haven’t noticed up until today…
I’m not using any scripts, so it should be fine. I freaked out because I knew that I had a couple of kanji pending and I was expecting to take those lessons today after my review but all of a sudden I passed to the next level without learning them… :')
Possibly because the new, in-your-face “you’ve just leveled up” banner makes it obvious in a way that you may not have previously noticed when you level up (other than by suddenly having a bunch of new lessons added to your queue, and by receiving an email, if your settings call for that).
