Hey Everyone! First of all, welcome to WaniKani. We’re a quirky community of fellow language learners. On the old forum, there used to be a thread, Post Noob Questions Here . Basically, I’m reviving that idea, since both threads are archived and cannot be replied to. Now that the forums are searc…

This is a sort of weird question and I hope it fits here; does anyone feel a strange sense of unease when they decide to learn a kanji that they won’t learn in Wanikani for a while? I’ve done it before, decided to stop doing it, and now at my current level I’ve decided that it is necessary again if …

I don’t think there’s a reason to overthink it. If a kanji comes up in your reading then it can’t be helped. When you learn it in Wanikani later, you’ll just breeze through the reviews, that’s all there is to it. It’s not like learning it early is a waste of time. At least that’s what I think.

I think that’s the philosophy I should pick up.

Hi there everyone! First time posting on the forums. Been slowly but steadily working my way through the beginnings of WK, and I’m roughly halfway through level 2. I know this is still early, early days, but I feel like while I’ve conquered a considerable amount already, I don’t really feel like I…

Hello hello, welcome! [image] NeoGC: Has anyone else experienced this? Definitely! I experienced that on two different levels, so to speak. First, the simple fact that it takes a lot of repetition for something new to really settle well into your long-term memory. Even up to Master in the S…

Hi WK community! Thanks for the space for new people questions! :smiley: How realistic is a goal of moving from Level 2 to Level 12 in 6 months? I know I see all the max-speed-type numbers, but with a bunch of competing responsibilities, I kinda want to make a reasonable goal of joining the (very c…

Hello hello, welcome! [image] deev: I know I see all the max-speed-type numbers, but with a bunch of competing responsibilities, I kinda want to make a reasonable goal of joining the (very cool sounding!) Absolute Beginner Book Club in May '22. Sounds like a great goal! ^^ Six months is abo…

Hello, I have read up everything I can regarding the difference between vocabulary and kanji on Wanikani, but I seem to still be a little bit confused. For example, I understand that Radicals on their own have no purpose, but when they are apart of other Kanji their meanings help tie into the overal…

I’m guessing you mean you don’t grasp why there is, for instance, a 山 kanji item and a 山 vocabulary item, right? Radicals are building blocks for kanji, and kanji are building blocks for vocab. Sometimes a kanji is “built” from only one radical, and sometimes a vocab word is only “built” from one …
