> [@Swyn](#): > > Took me one month for N5 / 1,5 months for N4 and 2.5 months for N3. > So around five months from 0 -\> N3. 5 months to get from zero to N3 🤔 I won’t say I don’t believe you, but that’s like… you’re in the 99th percentile. A super genius I don’t know if WK, a program that takes about a year at max speed to complete (and that doesn’t cover grammar/listening) is actually what you need. But been here for a while, I’ve met really smart people here and I know that WK does wonders in teaching you kanji, so i’d suggest you give it a shot, you’ll breeze through the first levels. Maybe read [this topic](https://community.wanikani.com/t/review-making-it-to-level-60-as-an-advanced-japanese-learner/34321), 100% recommended. > [@Swyn](#): > > Why do you even take time to answer me if it’s for being so patronising ? Ego issue or something ? I have to agree with Kumi-chan on this one, he was just a bit sarcastic but he was helping you. Your answer actually says more about you than about him ---

wow that’s awesome, i agree with @Ninkastmin I don’t think Wanikani is what you need unless you think it will help you remember kanji better Learning all that in 5 months must be tough, I have to say I’m afraid what you learned will be easily forgotten at this rate ---

I’m sorry I really took his answer the wrong way when I saw other people answering super nicely. I should not have reacted that way. ---

Many folks starting out on WK are still beginners to Japanese (I know I was), though there are people who still use it after having learned a good amount of it like you. (And even someone who’s passed the N1 😉 ) WK is great for reinforcing readings and meanings for any kanji you may be shaky on, along with providing accompanying vocab. So I think it would be beneficial to you, even with your current knowledge. There’s no level skipping, as others have said, but it sounds like you have a lot of free study time available and you’ll be able to fly through the kanji you do know pretty quickly. 🙂 ---

Definetly cram! But when it’s too difficult just skip ---
