Well, after more than three months, Iām finally at level 19! This is way past my deadline, as I originally intended to be on level 30 after one year of WK. I recently passed my anniversary, so yeah, quite behind the original schedule. Nevertheless, Iām quite happy with my progress, as I have been progressing slower on intention. As I said on my last post, after being in Japan last autumn, I realised that there were many kanji that I mistook for others, or that I was supposed to know and didnāt remember; therefore I took a step back and refrained from learning new stuff until I had more control of the one I was supposed to know.
Also, I went to Japan again! This time for five weeks. I think my Japanese improved quite a bit while over there. I also found myself constantly looking for kanji, thatās why I developed this small application (I call it WKradicals) that allows me to find kanji by radical names.
Letās see how it goes with level 19! Lots of vocabulary remaining from previous levels, so probably it will take a while!
