SRS and KaniWani

I began to use KaniWani today to try and recall the Japanese from the English. However, I have two important questions:

1. Is it too early for me to start KaniWani at level 5?

Burn reviews are after a 4 month interval anyway so it’s really not important. As long as you don’t check your upcoming reviews and study all the items right before a review you’ll be fine.

2.5 After the earliest stages you need to expose yourself to the language anyway, with more exposure always being better. It’s not like avoiding Japanese is going to help you learn Japanese through the sheer unbridled will of the Crabigator. ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
