Good luck! I fell off when I went to Japan for 4 months and ended up just restarting recently. I felt like I didn’t study correctly when I first started WaniKani, so it’s been helpful for me to restart. I admire people who can go through all of those reviews though. I don’t mind getting stuff incorrect, but the amount I was missing when I tried to go through 2 years of reviews just made me sad.

i’m somewhere between 50 and 70% mostly. many things dropped to guru/apprentice3, 4, so they’ll be back soon. now it’s only like 500 left i’ll have to push back, but that’s still like doing 3 levels at once.
maybe good practice for lvl 45+

thank you, doing my best. glad there’s this community, that’s reassuring and motivating.
paperbagchild for example came back to a high-30s account, that’s even tougher

Oh, I know the feeling! I sometimes wonder if I should be burning those items that I remember only because I failed the associated kanji just before…
But you can revive individual items. I plan on doing that once I reach level 60, instead of re-starting from 1 as others have. The downside is that it does mean having to find the problem children one by one…

glad it’s possible to do them one by one. this way i don’t have to redo whole levels, that would be bad @ApathyAunt
i mean, i was gone for 3 years, right. i could remember a lot, but some are blurry in memory @KronoFox
1800 reviews… dude, you’ll need a lot of beer
have a nice day!

thanks 300ish left today.
Basically just not paying attention to/not fully understanding the difference between transitive and intransitive, not trying to distinguish between similar looking kanji and vocab (and then basically guessing later on), and probably the biggest one was that I wouldn’t read the example sentences when learning vocab. I thought that I just got the understanding from seeing the translation, but seeing the context that a word is used in is actually really helpful. Also, only kinda related, I’m studying and using Japanese consistently instead of every once in awhile.

I recently started back as well after a couple of years. I chose to drop about 10 levels though to be on the safe side. I’ve been really inconsistent with my studies, but I’m hoping this time, since I’m in Japan, I’ll be able to stay motivated and finally attain the level of fluency I desire. Cheers! Let’s both do our best.

I reset to lvl 20 from 24. Those last levels were terrible, I couldn’t remember anything. Felt like walking under water, with concrete shoes. I’m now at zero reviews (520 in the next 14 days, that’s a walk in the park), and did my lessons.
I’m back on track! Now for lvl 60.

I think the SRS means nothing after that long of a break for most of the items though.
