Light at the end of the tunnel

[Esceptico]

I’ve been on vacation mode for a long time and have been using WK a bit differently recently. I was working my way through each level trying to learn all the kanji and vocab but was finding that slow going. As an alternative I am now just focusing on radicals and kanji. Every day I go back and test myself on the levels. 1-20 I can do as one block as I know them the best and recall most of them. 20-30 and 30-40 I do separately as I’m making a lot more mistakes. I’m also learning new levels and hope to be reviewing 40-50 in a few weeks (when I get to 50). Once I’ve managed to learn all 60 levels I aim to come off vacation mode and push through from 41 to 60.

One thing I’m noticing, which is a blessed relief, is that a reasonable number of kanji in the 40s level seem to be for words I know but didn’t know the kanji eg 鍵 or are kanji that I’ve had to look up recently whilst reading eg 棚 癖 . It makes me feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel and I might finally be getting to grips with Kanji.

I didn’t read alot but still encounter kanji i feel i have seen before. It always feels good when there’s less kanjis to worry about

kanji that I’ve had to look up recently whilst reading

For me this is one of the reasons reading is so key. When I look up a kanji while reading, and find it’s from a Wanikani level a few levels ahead, I have a quick look at the Wanikani mnemonic. When I then get to the kanji in my Wanikani lessons it sticks so much more easily.
