My Journey of 368 days (+ The Ultimate Guide for WK šŸ“– )

I think that the moment I reached level 40 was when I realized that I had kanji pretty much mastered (as in kanji was no longer a problem while reading). My suggestion is to slow down to 10 lessons/day and focus on grammar and then reading.

I’d say finishing Tae Kim’s guide will put you in a nice position to start reading on book clubs. Until then, you might want to give yourself a try to easy NHK news. The Book Clubs might say ā€œBeginnerā€ or ā€œUltimate Beginnerā€, but all that means is to be a beginner at reading, not in Japanese.

If you’re up to give another try to Book Clubs, I’d suggest this one that’s starting soon:

I’ve read the manga, and the grammar is pretty much N4 level, vocabulary is relatively simple and uses kanji (which is good for someone that’s learning through Wanikani).

How many lessons are you doing every day? Because 20 lessons a day has you reach level 60 in around 1 year. 10 lessons/day should put you around the 2 year mark, which would still allow you to reach level 60 before your 2 year deadline :slight_smile:
