Make ''Reviews'' and ''Lessons'' one thing

I can do reviews constantly but stagnate when it comes to new lessons, if there’s gonna be only one button, i will learn new words no matter what without postponing (when there’s no necessity ). Just set it up in a way so it will offer new lessons according to ur own pace. You can add it in settings as an experimental feature. That way i won get stuck with doing reviews only ^^.

I can see where you are coming from, but I think the lessons and reviews are separate for a very good reason.

This way it’s possible to:

  1. regulate what content to focus on first. This means you can go for radicals / kanji first if you want to ‘speedrun’ WaniKani. Or focus / ignore vocab that’s important / not useful to you.
  2. regulate how many daily reviews you will get. The importance oft his one will become more and more apparent when you get more reviews than you bargained for. And yes, even with a constant lessons / day load this will increase until you get a steady amount of burn reviews after about 4 months or so.

Imho that’s well worth the couple extra clicks.

I write down the material from the lessons, since this helps me remember the kanji/vocabulary and meanings. Actually, I do this before any reviews, in part because I like to do the reviews when I have a break at work.

You can reduce the number of new items to one or two, which might make it more motivating to learn them, then add more on days when you have more time, or you can also just learn the first five if you have a larger number of lesson items you would ideally like to learn each day.

The fact that Wanikani actually separates the Reviews and Lessons into two different buttons is actually the main reason why I use it. I would dislike having them together. Too many other programs/apps use the single-button method and it reduces my ability to control when I learn and how much I learn, which is important to me.

It’s useful to have them separate when you get to higher levels and start getting a lot more vocabulary and reviews. When I have a significant number of things I’m struggling to remember and separate from each other, I want to do new lessons much more slowly.

Especially when you hit a new level, it usually unlocks a lot of vocabulary AND radicals AND kanji across two different levels. I don’t want 100+ new items mixed in instantly when I’m trying to do reviews.
