There are times when you have a bunch of free time you might want to spend on learning more new items, but are held back by the system. While the way to slow down unlocking new items is pretty intuitive, the way to accelerate, not as much. As such here’s the guide to let you understand how the item …

As a former “speed leveler” myself , I have a few pieces of advice: If you have spare time to study more items, why not just spend that time pre-learning the kanji / radicals from the next level so you can actually get them right every time when you see them? You’re still learning new things, you’…

I’m not, I have proper Vocabulary books, but I got stuck on that front due to lack of Kanji knowledge

That said, it was a couple of levels ago, I might as well give it another try.

Grammar books are not vocabulary books. All that vocab is useless if you don’t know how to form a sentence

Right I meant grammar books, I planned to learn more Vocab while reading things, plus I already learned a bunch on WK. I start to pick up some phrases I understand while watching stuff.

[image] esutasan: Then maybe it might help to look out for other resources. Genki uses Furigana throughout both volumes so you can focus on the grammar. I don’t think you should neglect kanji but I would not recommend to only focus on them and take them as an excuse to not study grammar I wa…

Haha, hilariously bad advice. Hope no one is actually following it. If you think levels are too slow (i.e. you feel like you learn the items much faster than they are unlocked) why do you need to cheat on your reviews? Some people are diligently doing their reviews on a strict schedule and level u…

I think you misunderstand, it’s not supposed to be used to cheat your way all the way to burned, just to get the items to the point where they unlock the following items faster, and then let them fall back to Apprentice, before actually learning them. It’s for cases when I want to, for example, lear…

I think you are misunderstanding the idea of SRS. But you’re paying for WK, so feel free to use it however you like. Just keep in mind that from the experience of many users who shared their success (and failure) stories and from my personal experience your “guide” is missing the point. WK provides…

I think you fixate to much on the word “cheat”, what if I wrote “skip” instead? I don’t think what I’m doing messes with the SRS in any way (you might use it differently), you can always try to recall the item yourself before looking it up and entering the correct answer, and if after those 5 times…
