While that’s certainly the correct answer, it was also a nine year old post. 
I don’t really know what thread to put this in (I can move it) but I just had a super cool moment. I have had Insomnia by Eve on my playlist for a while now, and today, I heard “tadashi sekai de ? erutoiine” and I was like “WAIT. I know that word. What was tada again? Oh yeah, it means correct!” So I grab my phone, open the lyrics on spotify, and sure enough, there it was! 「正しい」！I’ve only been learning on WaniKani for 17 days, and I found a kanji in my daily life (of listening to J-ロック／ポップ). This makes me super motivated to keep learning, but unfortunately I’ll have to stop after I finish level 3 because I’m not able to do the subscription. Anyways, thought I’d share 
I love that feeling! Trust me, it never goes away - as long as you’re engaging with the language and actively learning, there will be words and constructs that seem to just instantly show up in your immersion.
Lol I also get that too good portion it makes me laugh.
Hey everyone new here, just thought I’d say hello…and complain about how slow WK is! @_@ I get it’s part of the process just wanted to complain ^^;
btw is there a way to get notified when I have new reviews or lessons available?
The mobile phone apps (inofficial) usually have a function like that built in.
I think everyone shares that initial frustration. Keep in mind that to be successful with WK (or learning Japanese) is to form a study habit you can sustain for over a year. Slow and steady will beat out the super enthusiastic ‘as much as possible, as soon as possible’ approach. There’s simply too much to learn to do it quickly.
That said, being eager to learn more is not a bad attitude to have. Good luck!
Welcome to Wanikani! It starts off slow but it ramps up quickly. I’d recommend taking a look at the review forecast widget so you know when your reviews will come in.
heya there. just a random q. is kanji reading unvoiced from lv9 until further? my retention kinda struck a blow from that lol
anyway, adjusting rn. hope its just a bug, if not, hope there’s updates soon!
I’m not sure what you mean exactly. Vocabulary has a voice recording for any level. Kanji don’t have a voice recording for any level, since they don’t have “one reading”.
Could you maybe link to an item that has no voice recording which you think should have one? Apologies if I misunderstood the question.
wait is that so? i haven’t noticed, i thought kanji and vocab lessons were both voiced. my bad then
yeah, that was weird. i thought only radicals were unvoiced, welp, guess that’s the other app im using. sorry for wasting your time
I’m new here and somewhat confused.
All new “blocks” I learnt so far were on day 1, now it’s day 3 and still nothing.
I know I need to do lots of reviews to unlock more progress but I hoped there would be some countdown saying when it’s time for reviews.
I remember that on the first day, after I learned all the radicals, there was a countdown showing how long I had to wait until my next review. I have all the widgets on my dashboard now, but I can’t find that timer or countdown anywhere. I thought new review sessions appeared about every four hours. It might not exist but it feels odd. Thanks for you response though
Here’s an overview of how long it takes for reviews in each srs stage:
Does anyone know what level on gurud items you need to reach to be considered around n3 or n2 japanese level?
The site wkstats has a chart with percentage of jlpt kanji. It’s just for reference, so take it with a grain of salt.
so, Im only lvl 10, but want to start reading, if possible. is there any post here that has worked out literature that is readable per wk level? like a chart or something? otherwise, is there some 3rd party tool somewhere that allows you to filter literature by kanji inside it?
WK Stats has this chart of the Joyo Kanji by WaniKani level - by level ten, you’ve learnt 100% of the kanji that native Japanese kids learn in grade 1 at school, 92% of kanji from grade 2, and 73% of grade 3, so in terms of kanji at least, you should be able to read about as well as a third-grader who has perhaps been a little bit lax at paying attention in class.
Unfortunately, kanji only covers part of what you need in order to be able to read native content - you also need to cover vocab and grammar.
Wanilog has a feature where it recommends you NHK easy articles that (mostly) suit your WK level, which might be a fun little daily reading practice thing.
