Iām level-upping (levels > 10) in 40-60 days on average. If I was taking new items any more frequently, I couldnāt digest them and really learn them. Wkstats show 85% for my accuracy.
It has been 2 years now when I started and Iām on level 18.
This has been far more useful for me than trying to grind through all the 60 levels in a year or some other ridiculous āself-challengingā. And nonetheless, I have barely felt like Iāve been studying, during the whole 2 years, Iāve been exhausted of the reviews or the queue only like less than 10 times. It actually feels more like Iāve cheated because of how easily and effortlessly I have learned a completely new language!
Proudly taking the scenic route and enjoying the trip
Just leveled up to level 24 after a new record high of 111 days!! Thereās nothing wrong with being consistently inconsistent, as long as we keep durtling onwards .
iām back to durtle with a vengeance >:3c
hereās what happened
i came across this thread early in 2022 and was somewhat discouraged to learn that what i thought was a decent speed of 11 days per level was actually considered slow, but that pace worked for me and i kept at it until i got stuck in the 20s
the more new kanji i tried cramming in my brain, the more came tumbling out =__=
according to the record of kanji wallpapers iāve been saving, i was stuck on 24 for months before trying to burn a bunch in order to make the pile less daunting
eventually i gave up on that for several more months until i decided to reset and give it another go
the problem was my yearās subscription was almost over and i only got to level 10 before going into vacation mode in the hopes it would be there waiting for me when i could afford to renew
well, this year i bought a lifetime subscription ^^-
i wanted a fresh start for the new year, so i did that and even got my dashboard looking all pretty~
now that i no longer need to worry about a time limit, i have decided to purposefully slow down to 14 days per level, adding another day every 5th level
at this rate, it will take me about three years to finish, and i think thatās fine
now iām just desperately hoping for the ability to wait until i guru 100% of a levelās kanji before moving on to the next ;-;
After being on and off with wanikani, I finally reached level 30 . Halfway there! I think it took me almost 2 years on the level 20s. Iāve found my sweet spot this year has been 5 lessons per day. Iāve also found I tend to drop off near spring for the past few years (due to life or whatever), so I want to try to keep myself accountable this year. Lets keep durtling
Japanese ā¦ canāt live with it, canāt live without it, amirite?
I appear to be in this odd position where I neither have the need nor the time to pursue this kanji thing, yet every time it pulls me back in. So here I am again. This isnāt even the scenic route anymore, itās the path through the jungle where you need a macheteā¦

I think levelling up every two weeks is a good goal! Happy durteling!
