Almost 2.5 years since I started WaniKani I finally burned level 1. I have no idea why 人口 (Population) was so hard for me. Two super simple kanjis, the mnemonics are on point with this one as well and yet here I am:

Hmmm 
Maybe a gazelle or something? Or a racehorse?

The downfall of WK is that the most interesting words will forge themselves into your mind like C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those words will be lost from the stack in time, like tears in rain… Time to burn.

I just remember a bunch of people rocking out to sublime and wearing Jinco jeans. Do you remember those jeans?

Also drinking “Gin” with “Colleagues” is what most of “Population” enjoy the most.
JNCO was a brand of jeans popular in the USA 20-30 years ago. They were known for having very large amounts of material. Pretty much the opposite of skinny jeans.

By the way, when theoretically the first level will be burned? Let’s assume that a user is pretty fast (10-15 days) and do no mistakes. 6 months?
correct - 6 months after last learned item from a level provided you do all reviews 100% correct and as soon as they appear

What about “Jellyfish”? They are care-free and chill, they just vibe and float around, and they don’t cause any hassle; very much like easily learned words. I think we should call it “Jellyfish”

I guess it’s around 4 months till the first burned item will appear.

Due to new items appearing I have no longer burned everything on level 1 - or 2 or 3. But I’ve burned all of level 4! Currently…
Key info is here: Burned 24w 6d 6h - which is roughly half a year.
Thanks for clarifying! That means I still have a long way to go. 
One of my first burned items - at least I still remember the reading, but I completely forgot this word ever existed
