Level 21 before 2021!

I did it… I finally reached level 12!!! :sob::sob::sob:

I know this isn’t a huge milestone or anything, but… considering I joined WK in 2013 and never made it past level 11 before stopping for several years and then resetting, I’m really happy to have finally taken it down. And with no sign of stopping now! Onwards and upwards! :muscle:

Congrats Chewt san :clap: You are on lucky 13 :stuck_out_tongue: Keep going :wink:

Hearty congratulations esutasan :love_you_gesture:t2: One more step towards the goal :partying_face:

Get ready to party Kelth san :confetti_ball: Great Job on clearing all your lessons :raised_hands:t2:

CONGRATS! Jamuko san :star_struck:

It is a HUGE milestone :clap: You are reaching new frontiers :love_you_gesture:t2: It takes a lot of courage and perseverance to come back and keep at it after years :+1: We are glad you stuck with it and we are proud and happy for you :handshake: よく頑張った Jamuko san :v:

Looking forward to seeing you achieve more milestones Jamuko san. Ike!! :facepunch:

THIS IS THE BIGGEST MILESTONE EVER

Congratulations!

おめでとう! @esutasan too :confetti_ball:

@Jamuko It might have taken you a seven years to get here, but it doesn’t matter. What matters now is what comes next. Like @KyokaJiro said, it’s a HUGE milestone. Great going!

@kelth Go! Go! Go!

Two things:

Normally, I would be very happy with a review session that ended up like this:

But this is just plain wrong:

WaniKani thought it was another one of those forgivable typos, but this can really throw you off if you didn’t look again.

The second thing: 湯 暑 温

These guys have been messing around in my head since I met them :exploding_head:

Thank you guys for the heartwarming support and encouragement :sob: everyone’s kindness and energy to succeed has been a lifeline on this journey! I love it here :blue_heart:

Yay! Welcome back! No point in stopping now :wink:

Yay! Lots of time before New Year’s!

Congratulations! Good luck with level 13!

Yay! Onwards and upwards!

12? 21? Same, same, only different :wink:

Just one more!

I think it’s a good idea to slow down on level 21. That was my plan too, but I had to take a break on level 19 instead. I can feel that I really needed the break and the time to really work on what I have learned. Next stop the first observation deck of Tokyo Skytower on level 35!

You and me both! I didn’t leave WaniKani, but I did have a few days here and there with very few reviews. As a result, I have now spent almost a month on level 19. Sigh… But the only way to get to the next level is to work on the reviews, and it’s way better to take a break than to stop completely or to burn out. Onwards and upwards!

The problem is that they let you get a certain number of letters wrong, so “to tell” is only two letters different from “to roll”. You just confused the AI.

As long as you know, it should be ok. Sometimes things break for us and sometimes against us. Consider this one of those lucky breaks :wink: and enjoy your 100% :sunglasses:

Been there, done that :rofl: I know the word “onsen” because of manga, so I use that as a base word to remember these. Water in onsen is warm - cue for 温 . 暑 What happens when two things rub against each other, HEAT is generated due to friction. Cue - It is HOT. 湯 What happens when you have sun and water, things heat up easily - cue - hot water.

Onsen (for base image in mind)

This has to be the funniest WaniKani and Harry Potter crossover :joy:

Yes, Ron. Shut up and Listen to Hermione :sunglasses:

I just updated the main table after reaching 11. I know I don’t post every level, but after starting at 2 managing to reach 11 feels pretty good.

If I manage to keep up the current rate I’ll reach 20 by the end of the year, which I’m already pretty happy with - but we’ll see if I can manage a few more 7-day levels to reach 21.

Congrats to everyone who already made it!

Love it! I know I’ll never forget that kanji!

77 days left in the year! And if you make it to level 21 or 20 or 15, no matter what, you’ll learn a lot. Good luck!

Level 12 as been… very easy… I’m scared that it means a hard level is coming.

I’d love that! Are you going to/have you made a thread for it?

I do know the word onsen, too. From anime. It gets mentioned in a lot of ways. Obviously, that’s very different from knowing it in manga. So, I have no problem recognizing onsen, but only because of the 泉 part lol

Thanks for the cues!

@honj90 Congrats! :confetti_ball:

BTW, level 17 GET!

I meant to edit the OG post last time I leveled up, but… Well, I have now :laughing:

Congrats honj90 san :tada: Looking forward you more success from you :slightly_smiling_face: and taking inspiration from Gandalf “YOU SHALL NOT STOP!” (Slams down the staff) :wink:

Nope, you are good. Some levels are relatively easier.

I understand we differ in the way we perceive things. I don’t expect my cues to match perfectly with your style :slightly_smiling_face: . But if my cues can at least inspire you to move in the right path or help form your own cues that’s more than good enough for me :grin: Xae san.

Level 20!
Almost there, I can smell it, smell of finish line, smell of death drawing near :fearful:

almost-there

Congrats Koro san :sunglasses: 1/3 of the journey is already over :nerd_face: Lord Crabigator is happy with your performance :metal:

Thank youuu, and you’re the same as well :blush:

I can feel the power is getting stronger, luckily I learned from the right master. I can’t go this far if I learned from the Jedi :see_no_evil:

*hey, I think it’s a good meme haha, I’ll make one for Wanikani memes :smiley:
