I only take new lessons (10) if I score over 75% in my review session.
I started the week corona came to the USA, so three years almost exactly.
Does that count?

How do you do this? I have tried to wrap my head around personalising WK, but I do not have the brain for that. Is there a simple guide to do it?
Here is the thread for the script, which has instructions!
First you need to install a browser extension called Tampermonkey, which is needed to run the userscripts. Hereās the link for a guide on how to do that:
For your first userscript, you may want to install WaniKani Open Framework, which is needed for many WK userscripts.
After that, you can browse around the forum and install any userscript you like. I recommend not going too crazy when youāre just starting out. Someone already linked the Lesson Filter one, Iād also add the Double Check userscript which allows you to redo your answers when doing reviews. I canāt count the number of times Iāve made an error typo while doing reviews so itās a really handy userscript to have.
Thank you @silvercanopus and @fallynleaf for the links and help, I will give it a go soon and will hopefully come back with good news that I got it working!
Just to give another method that doesnāt involve any reordering scripts, Iāve managed to hit 0/0 when I do 15 lessons/day. If I do 15 new lessons every night, thereās usually one single day when Iāve gotten all the radicals, kanji, and available vocab into Apprentice, but havenāt Guruād enough to unlock more vocab.
That said, it varies by level (different ones have more vocab available early), and even the time of day you do lessons affects it. If you do lessons in the morning instead, it lets you hit the 4-hour and 8-hour interval in the same day, which would probably speed things up just enough to unlock vocab faster.
Like other people said, itās not actually that important to hit 0/0. Itās a nice number, but if getting there is overwhelming, itās not worth it.
Level 54!
I leveled up last night, after about fourteen days as usual, and for once, Iām posting my update on time, haha! I donāt have many exciting things to report for this one, though by the next level, I should be completely done with Minna no Nihongo, which is exciting!
I leveled up to 28 two days ago (yay! ) but for some reason didnāt post a comment here about it, even though I intended to. I think I was making it too complicated in my mind, even though, as your little post proved, I donāt really have to make a big deal out of it. BTW: Iām going at about 22 days per level recently.
I guess I also wanted to say that level 28 was the level I was previously at when I last got burnt out over a year ago now, and from which I reset down to level 7.
Ever since 7, Iāve been Durtling the Scenic Route, so now Iām finally back to my āhigh scoreā, so to speak. This time, though, itās a totally different experience. No more dread, no more anxiety, and a lot more enjoyment of learning Japanese.
I guess I did also celebrate a little by catching up on some anime, as Iāve been avoiding watching anime for a while, in favour of spending more time actually studying Japanese. I still use English subtitles, so watching anime didnāt really count much towards Japanese acquisition, in my experience. In fact, thatās why I stopped watching it in the first place, since I realized English subs donāt really help with picking up the language āby osmosisā.
But after a long break, I figured I could spice up my free time with some anime once again.
So, I finally watched One Punch Man, which I really enjoyed. And I did notice that I could āpick up onā a lot more of the spoken Japanese, which was a nice confirmation that Iām actually making some real progress. Yay!
@silvercanopus & @fallynleaf thank you so much for your help! I changed the settings and it works like a charm! I finally get the chance to break up the lessons a little so that itās not just all vocab!
Hi there again!
After my reset, I ended up to have minus 1k burned items. But, now I feel relief and I feel again the addiction and need of doing my review everyday instead of drowning under the amount of work to keep it up.
So I am pretty happy, I am like in vacations because I keep really a small amount of review at a time, but I enjoy doing it, and I donāt care how long it will take if I ended up actually being able to read everything in Japanese
My goal is to always do 5 / 10 Kanji lesson, then complete all the vocab, then going back to new Kanji. I am a lot brained because a lot of stuff changed since I learned it (like the reading)
Previously I had a lot of scrappy stuff coming from older level. Now I cleaned it!
Hi everyone! I mostly lurk the forums, but once I stumbled upon this thread I felt the need to join you. Iām a scenic durtle myself - Iāve been doing 5-15 lessons a day, depending on the difficulty, along with my reviews, for the past 5 months. I have to admit that Iāve never gotten 0-0, which I assume is because of my slow pace - I usually have a few dozen lessons remaining when I unlock a new level, but it doesnāt really bother me.
For some context, Iām learning Japanese in my free time as a student and I already have some language learning experience under my belt. I have a pretty complicated relationship with goals and deadlines due to past experiences, so I started learning Japanese with the explicit intent of not setting any long-term goals and trying to enjoy the process, focusing just on being consistent. So far itās been going quite well and Iām really enjoying learning the language. ćććććććććć¾ćć
Welcome! That sounds like a really healthy way to approach it. I have to keep reminding myself that if Iām doing this for fun, itās okay to slow down and actually have fun.
Finally got to lessons from my current level today!! Back on track to actually level up sometime this century! Itās only been a few months!
Ohhhh, this seems like the place for me.
Ever so slowly durtling over the country side.
I didnāt have the money to pay at the time, so I was stalled at level 3, but I have a bit more money now and thought it was time to continue on my nice trek up this lovely mountain.
My aim is to keep consistently painting those wonderful squares with knowledge and fun at a slow and steady rate.
Hopefully, I can get that ā135 daysā typical level-up speed down, but Iām confident that no matter how slowly, Iāll keep on trudging along this well-travelled road. Looking forward to meeting you, my fellow Durtles!
One of the nice things about how wkstats measures āTypical Level-upā is that it uses the so-called āmedianā, rather than the more usual āmeanā (aka the average).
The mean is more prone to being thrown off by extreme (very large positive or negative) values, so that āoutliersā tend to skew the mean a lot.
Whereas the median tells you the value at the āhalf-way pointā in the data, so that a small number of extreme values will play almost no role in determining the median. E.g. the median of [1, 5, 6, 8, 10] is 6 (the number in the middle of the sorted list) and the median of [1, 5, 6, 8, 23454529074534] is also just 6 (again, the number in the middle).
So, it will actually not take very long at all before your Typical Level-up settles down into something much more reasonable and meaningful. For example, since you are currently only level 5, you only have 4 numbers in your list to choose from, and at least two of those numbers are quite big. But when you level up a couple of more times, letās say so that you have 7 numbers in your list, and 4 of them are more like a few weeks rather than a few months, then the median will instantly drop down to a āfew weeksā-sized number.
It may seem like a subtle difference when described in text, but when you see it in action, it makes sense and I think youāll find that itās much more encouraging than if wkstats were to report just the mean/average rather than the median. You get a much clearer sense of āwhere you areā with the median measurement.
Welcome! Happy to have you mosey along with us here
My week is likely to get away from me so Iāll probably level up before Iām able to clear out the lessons. Look how unstressed my little crabigator is! A perfectly manageable amount of lessons. Enjoy the feeling while it lasts, wani. Sorry in advance for the next-level avalanche.
Iāve read ālook how heās stressedā first and yeah, he looked very stressed.
Iāve noticed the āunstressedā then. And, wellllā¦ no, I canāt unsee him stressed ))
Made it to level 16 at long last. Never did finish those lingering 21 lessons.
@Pradd, hereās how my wani looks normally
Iāve been here three years, and never noticed that the pictures change.
How many stress levels are there?
