I get that the strategy behind WaniKani is SRS learning but the update frequency is far too slow. Another factor that’s just as crucial to learning is momentum, which is something I cannot keep up on this site compared to apps like Duolingo or DeerLingo. I was considering paying for a subscription …

So it looks like it’s just the beginning that’s painfully slow. Would be nice to be able to “test out” of radicals to speed the process up.

A little patience goes a long way my friend :wink:

If so, Remembering the Kanji + Anki is the fastest route.

The radicals are the foundation of how WaniKani teaches kanji. You wouldn’t skip pouring the foundation of a home to throw the walls up faster, would you? Once you’ve put enough items into the SRS system, WaniKani will stop feeling slow. Just give it some time to get the ball rolling.

He wants to go faster than 2000 kanji in 11 and a half months or whatever the specifics are now. Plenty of ways to do that, and most are free. You just have to do all the heavy lifting.

Popping into affirm that while the early levels feel slow, you will be inundated soon enough. Also affirming that Wanikani works, really well, even if no learning tool is ever going to be a perfect fit for everyone. Also, also affirming that learning to read kanji fluently isn’t as straightforward…

I thought the same thing when i started, but now just past the free levels i get like 100-200 reviews a day and ive learned quite a bit, if you’re patient it will pick up

Progression is way too slow

@ctmf produced this WK workload chart if you need a visual of “things will pick up”

About that workload graph... Is it correct?
