So, I’m beyond the halfway point on Wanikani (in terms of levels, but perhaps not time :joy:) and I often ruminate about how happy I am that I found it as a learning resource. Perhaps if I spent less time ruminating and more time chewing the Kanji cud, I would be at level 60 by now ? :smile: but re…

Consistency will make all the difference. The fact that WK makes this fun instead of arduous is the difference for me making it to level 60 instead of giving up.

I haven’t been using it for long but so far I agree with everything you’ve said. It’s easy to just do my lessons and reviews each day, I learn quickly and it doesn’t cut in much to my limited spare time. I have to know, where can I see a calendar like the one in your first screenshot?

[image] Ddjross: Wanikani emphasized something I subconsciously probably already new, that a little bit of studying often, is a hell of a lot better that intense but scattered efforts. Yeah, this is exactly my philosophy as well. Even just doing the math, it really adds up so more than you mi…

I am glad you perfectly summarised what I feel about WaniKani! I agree with everything!:+1: Lurking on the forums and reading all the nice stories of this community was especially motivating for me. :eyes: Keep up the good work friends!

[image] crihak: since I started reading a little over two years ago ! What level were you when you started your regular reading? need to find a book to start that won’t be too much of a trudge !

I’m still level 3 but I agree! Kanji learning was always my weakness. I’m sitting at maybe 100 kanji learned in a few years, and I tried so many methods… even cramming 20 kanji every day in my head, with mnemonics, but the ones available weren’t helpful to me and I didn’t have the courage to make up…

[image] crihak: I looked at Harry Potter as well as the No 6 series that eventually became the first real books I read. I could’t even tell if it was Harry Potter or not, and had no idea what No 6 was even remotely about. Just nonsense covering the pages Haha. Nonsense covering the pages ? so…

[image] Ddjross: I started with graded readers about half a year into my studies Oh ok - I got a set of the graded readers - surprising how difficult i found even the easiest set ! :sweat_smile: Even before that, I used the sample sentences from the Core6K decks to practice reading/vocabul…
