I’m slowly making progress through level 3, and intend to subscribe for the later levels.
But, I’m wondering, if I subscribe now, at about L2.5, the period between now and reaching L3 will essentially go to waste, won’t it? USD10 a month is a lot of money
Take your time and work through the last free portion that you have.
There’s still a decent chunk of material for you to learn from 2.5 until the end of level 3.
Also, if you’re not particularly in a hurry, you can sit at the end of L3 for a bit and get those characters well established and into higher SRS levels so the next couple of levels will be less stress, and possibly help you move faster at the beginning once you start paying… but most people don’t really want to wait.
