hi i’m just starting out with the radicals but it won’t let me progress even though I’ve reviewed them 2 times and answered them all correctly? is this normal?

Yes, you need to answer them correctly four times to unlock kanjis. I assume a bunch of people will soon come around and give the relevant links, but the way the SRS works is explained in the FAQ.

WaniKani seems to be VERY slow at the start… the SRS system is pretty boring and isn’t letting me pound these out in a way I would like, but considering people at lvl 12 have something like 600 Lessons/Reviews available to them, things will fill up quickly and I’m sure we will find ourselves having …
