I had to look this up… I think you meant precious stone.

This is what happens when you do daily reviews but stop doing lessons for an extended period of time. I cleared level 20 and had an enormous number of master/enlightened items drop back to apprentice, so I decided to just churn through reviews for a couple of months while trying solidify a few hundred vocabulary. The good thing about being this far along is I feel I have a decent enough pile of vocabulary that I can afford to just let it stew in my brain for a while. The bad thing is, some of those vocabulary really just don’t want to stick. But anyways…

It’s kinda demoralizing looking at all that “makeup” work I have to do. :slight_smile:

Seriously though @TofuguJenny, while I appreciate that WK cares about, and invests in, the service, I do wish that the additions for items in levels you’ve already completed were opt-in. Or maybe just slow down the pace a bit? I have plenty of new items to learn over the next 40 or so levels that I don’t really need to play catch up? Not gonna run out any time soon. :slight_smile:

Hi @skatefriday, I’m really sorry that you’re still finding these additions demoralizing. I want to reiterate that there’s no obligation to do them anytime soon, and I think you’re absolutely right to focus on reviews. I can see how simply having them visible there can add to the sense of overwhelm though. If it helps, there will only be two more additions below level 20 this year, and then we’re pausing the additions altogether until at least February 2022. Hopefully that will give you some breathing space, and we’ll look at options for improving how we do additions in the meantime.

No favoritism here! :shushing_face: (It’s actually more that I can see myself making the same mistake :stuck_out_tongue:)

Was there ever any doubt? No bot makes as many typos as I do :grinning:

I’ve written Yojimbo as the meaning for 用心棒 before. A warning is nice, since I do know the real meaning.
