Race to Your Goal! December 2020 JLPT

I use the reorder script to do the radicals and kanji first, and I try to do 20 or 30 lessons a day, but that doesn’t always happen… :sweat_smile:
Like Saida said, pay attention to the 4 and 8 hour reviews. I do lessons in the morning and do the 4 hour review around lunchtime, then the 8 hour review in the evening. Sometimes I do lessons 4 hours before I go to bed.
If I do my lessons consistently, I can usually get 0/0 on each level. I try to do reviews as they come in. I average around 8 days per level like this. :slightly_smiling_face:

Same thing happened to me :joy:
Simultaneous edits can do crazy stuff, I guess

I always do reviews before lessons. Meaning, not doing lessons until my review pile goes to zero, save a few exceptions.
On lessons, I attack “critical” items (Radicals and kanji needed to level-up) first, distribute the rest of the pile on equally sized chunks through the week in order to have as much consistency as possible. I do lessons exclusively on mornings, except for mid-level kanji, which usually unlocks on afternoons.
My WK schedule is 9-13-21. Unless we’re talking about a critical item, I just let reviews pile until any of those time slots.

That’s actually as fast as one can go :sweat_smile:

Hi! I have made it to level 3! I spent 9 days and 21 hours on level 2. Pretty decent since I was out of town visiting friends for half of those days! So really proud I could still stay dedicated and beat the time it took me to go from Lvl 1 to 2 !

Can someone please update the chart for me? :slight_smile:

There was a snafu where apparently someone had the table open for quite a long time and saved after a lot of changes had been made by other users, which undid all of them. These things happen, and it’ll probably happen again, tbh :rofl:

Congratulations on your two levels! I’ve updated the chart. Great work!

@shiki, I’ve moved you up to the other level fives from where you were at the bottom of the chart (which is for level 1)

I think I’m gonna slow down and focus on leeches for this level. :thinking:
After all I’m here to learn kanji, and not just to level up… :sweat_smile:

Finally started on radicals today after digging through the mountain of vocab.
Did more lessons than I planned to do originally, but I wanted to catch up again.
So here I am, 7 days until leveling up, I guess :smiley:

On the other hand, the faster you level up, the more kanji you learn :wink: But it is good take it easy once in a while. When I joined this race I was just finishing up a 2 month level…

Leveled up just now. I, for one, welcome death. :skull:

Pace was a bit slower, like expected, but that’s alright. Just keep working on it every day. :muscle:

Getting around 80 or so lessons at level-up never gets easier…

Hey :wave:
Could someone add me to the list please?
I started WK in 2017 but I haven´t been active for almost two years…
Level 10 took me 537 days and 21 hours but I just reached level 11. :ghost:
I´m totally hyped to be learning again and can´t wait to reach Level 50 (probably won´t reach level 60 :/) by december 2020!

Haha, nice! Good to have you in this thread. Do you remember a lot of what you learned in the pleasant levels?

Yes but I don´t know if you can call it “remembering” …
originally I was level 16 but I reset my account to level 10 in juni or july because I noticed that I can´t remember a lot from level 10 or above (and I had a review pile of 1200+ which I tried to clear, but I gave up when I had 600 reviews left after doing at least 2,5 hours a day for a couple of days)…

A- understandable. How has the redt of your Japanese studies gone? Those get paused, too? Also:

Are you Dutch?

I think that’s a pretty good idea! I’m pausing and doing the same thing so that I don’t get overwhelmed with the next five levels.

Welcome! I’m really glad you’re here!

There’s no shame in taking a while to complete a level! All that matters is that you did complete it and you’re still working on learning kanji. Great work!
