Okay, so I’ve been procrastinating my WK reviews for such a long time now and thought if I put the spotlight on my issues I might be able to get back on track and maybe never get off it ever again.
I was level 37 in spring and thought I’d easily reach level 60 before the year ends. Now I’m at the half-way mark once again… I hadn’t done my reviews for a while and therefore forgot a lot of stuff and ended up resetting. I’ve barely done any reviews since then and now I’m sitting at this clusterduck.
1010 reviews and almost 60% of those are burn reviews, yay me. I already know this isn’t gonna go well but I have to power through it. I will do at least 100 reviews every day starting now.
Also, I’m studying on the side as well, so just because I haven’t done my WK in some time doesn’t mean I didn’t study Japanese in all these months. I have everything in Japanese, from Windows to Android. I play all my games in Japanese if supported and put every unknown word into HouHou, which nets me 10+ new words on some days. I also make sure to NOT study any words that are taught on WaniKani, hence why it’s so important to reach level 60.
tl:dr I didn’t to diddly squat so now I have 1010 reviews and I’m gonna do at least 100 every day and post the results here.
Edit: The results are in and just like I thought, it’s a bit messy. Though my answers where usually pretty close. Now onto BISHBASHBOSH to cram all the wrong answers!
Good luck! I got myself stuck in a pile of reviews a few months ago and I thought I’d never see 0/0 again, but it’s definitely possible! (Though my accuracy took quite a hit. ToT)
My favorite part was watching this little guy slowly climbing the mountain…
(I wish I would’ve taken a screenshot when I still had thousands of reviews, but I honestly thought I was imagining the movement at first.)
Of course! Wouldn’t you expect that in a forum with so many POLL threads? Discourse’s search button actually works okay enough that you can check pretty quickly…
Day 5. I’m changing my approach to doing reviews now, if I can remember the answer in a matter of a few seconds then I’ll purposely fail the answer. If I need minutes to remember a word then IMO I don’t know it well enough.
