I joined WaniKani about 5 days ago, using it on both my laptop and on my phone. I’m doing it as an adjunct to my Rocket Japanese course.
I was given a selections of radicals to memorize, then was given a review. All went well. I’ve had 26 radicals, and had review, after review, after review. No progression at all. Every time I get an alert on my phone to do a review, I do it. My reviews are coming back 100% (being tested on the 26 radicals). Last night, another review of them. 100%. This morning, another review of them. 100%.
Why isn’t it progressing past the 26 radicals? Every time I log in, all I see is “0 lessons / 0 reviews” and have to wait for another review of the radicals. The next review is in 2 hours, and I’ll bet it’s yet again another review of the same radicals. I don’t understand how much longer it will take to progress from the same radicals. At this point, I’m wondering if I’ll ever get to the actual kanji!
I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong. If someone could please enlighten me, I’d greatly appreciate it
TL;DR: You have to get the radicals right a few times before being able to continue.
It’s slow at first, but as you progress, you’re going to be managing a lot of reviews at the same time.
Well, I saw that but I have no idea why the status bars show no progress. If I’ve learned 26 radicals, and I’ve been tested on them for several days, why would the “Level 1 Radicals Progression” show as zero out of 26? I’m a bit confused as to why the slider doesn’t show progress.
It’s sort of odd (imo) that they don’t show you what level of Apprentice or Guru items have reached. But! There are scripts for that, if you’re interested.
(For once you have more than one batch of items you’re working on, I’d also strongly recommend [Userscript]: WaniKani Ultimate Timeline for seeing upcoming reviews. This is perhaps the most agreed upon quality-of-life script there is.)
