Level 60 after a long quit

Hi all

After dropping Wanikani entirely at level 13, I decided to lock in last year starting off with clearing the enormous 1300+ review pile. And here we are, a year later, at level 60!

Just wanted to say it is never too late to start Wanikani again after a long break :slight_smile:

Here are my stats:

congrats on reaching level 60!:partying_face:

Congratulations! And I can’t imagine how that 1300 review pile must have felt… I get overwhelmed when the number goes above 200 lol

Congratulations! That’s an amazing achievement!
I have a question: how are you able to clear levels in ~7 days? I review multiple times a day, and my average accuracy is roughly 90-95%.
Did you take more than the 15 lessons that you get each day?

Thanks for the congrats!

It took me just over a week to clear it all up lol. I remember I got it down to like 800 on the first day, and it went back up to something like 1100 the next day because of all the wrong answers :melting_face:

Thanks for the congrats!

The fastest you can Guru an item is 3.5 days (4h + 8h + 1day + 2days) so I tried to Guru the Radical as soon as I leveled up (doing the reviews as soon as they were available) and learn all of the available Kanji within the next 1-2 days or so. Then when I Guru’d the Radical, I would learn the unlocked Kanji (and doing the reviews as soon as they were available) which came out to be ~7 days per level.

I have my daily lesson limit set at its maximum of 100 (but you can manually select to do more), but I would clear all of the available lessons within the first day or two of leveling up.

Hope that helps!

That definitely helps, thank you!

I have not done more than the 15 recommended lessons a day, which I think is where my lesson average is coming from. So I’ll look into the advanced section now when I feel I could speed up :slight_smile:

Congrats! Wow 100 lessons in one day! Can I ask where you were with your Japanese when you started back up a year ago, and where you are today? (N3, N2, N1?)

Thanks!

I would say I was somewhere between N5 and N4 before I started again and I would currently put myself at low-N1. I do plan on taking the N1 exam in December.

I live in Japan now and can get by most situations without any problems :slightly_smiling_face:

WOW! That’s seriously impressive! How long have you lived in Japan? Did you move there during this past year or before starting back up with WaniKani?
