I’m managing fine so far but this is still an early level.

Just leveled up to L32.
I saw this post the first time and found “Leeches” in some really old screenshot, and I’m gonna sleep wondering what that was…

9 for 9 now. Not having a great day, so it’s nice to have something to celebrate. Plus I’ll guru all my radicals and first half kanji tomorrow morning and get the second half started before work. Small victories.

Hi guys!
I am not much of a forum guy. Who knows when I’ll post again but wanted to say this is the post that inspired me to get serious about Wani Kani!
I used to sit around 150 new lessons, but was pretty good with reviews. I had so many new lessons, it was stressful to think about the time and energy it would take to chip away at them all. That’s when I found this post a few months ago and thought to try it, since everyone else was too.
I’ve been maintaining this 0/0 for about two months now and it feels GREAT. Reaching a new level and seeing the 50 or so new lessons appear is a little daunting at first, but if you do five kanji per day, then bust out some vocab, it won’t get overwhelming and the constant progress really makes you learn more!
I also live in Japan and while I still confuse a handful of meanings, seeing the kanji all around me is so useful for practicing and being able to finally read a word that I’ve seen so many times is such a nice feeling! Recently I finally noticed the word 住宅 around my town and wondered what it meant. Then a few days later it the 宅 kanji popped up on Wani Kani. I got so excited. xD
Just wanted to share. N3 coming up. Let’s crush it ーー 頑張ろう！！！

My 4th streak. Sprint through it in 6 days 20 hours! I was quite nervous that I might forget to do my review on time, but it turned out alright. I always wanted to go full speed on at least one of the normal level. Now that I got it, the next one will be more relaxed, but still at fast pace.
I want to be able to finish Wanikani in around a year, 1.5 years maximum. Since I have lots of time right now, I might as well do it fast while I can.

Still going strong and eager to learn. I have subscribed and become a paying member!
Thank you Wanikani team for making this wonderful product, I wouldn’t have thought about learning Japanese again after 9 years had I not found Wanikani.
Lv4 still isn’t hard so far, there are plenty of kanji that I already know the meaning, just have to remember the reading.

I give credit to my previous Japanese knowledge, used to study for a year in high school. That along with my plenty of free time and high motivation. I have always wanted to be Japanese literate, but kanji was so daunting to me. When I found wanikani, I was so excited that I can finally learn kanji.
The early levels will be fast for me, since I already knew the meaning of some of them. I expect my pace to be slower after awhile.
For lv1 I know the meaning of all except ‘construction’ kanji.
Lv2 I know about 3/4 before hand.
Lv3 I know a bit more than half too.
I also make extensive use of self study quiz script. I made sure to make no mistake in the self study at least 2 times in a row before I do the real reviews. To ensure that there is no delay.
I try to come up with my own mnemonic as well, for the few kanji that I can link to some characters or title. Like the 北 north kanji, reading is hoku, I just remember it as fists of the north star (hokuto no ken).
With 方 I think of Dio from jojo part 3, the ‘hou hou are you approaching me?’ meme has both the reading and kinda the meaning. Heck, the kanji even look like a weird jojo pose.
Im looking for study buddy, are you interested? We are close in lv, and it would be nice to have someone to practice grammar with as well.

Yeah, sure no worries. I am very obligated hehe. 
I am Chinese, so even though I know the meanings of Kanji, I need to throw my Hanzi knowledge out of the window and then intake new knowledge of Japanese kanji.
I see! But you do have the advantage of knowing the meaning right?
So you kinda just have to remember the reading. I find linking it to what I know is really useful.
My friend married and went to live in Japan, she is Chinese and got to N2 in around a year.
Now that I think about it, I dont think there is any private message function, but Im gonna add you to my leader board lol.
I agree vocabulary lessons can also take a toll! It is tiring most of the time because our brain is busy picking up things. But yeah, it worth it anyways.

I think I’ve been pretty good at getting to 0/0, but this thread is a really nice idea to document the progress and keep myself accountable. So here it goes, 0/0 after finishing (most of) the second batch of kanji/vocab

Yeah definitely, there’s the advantage of knowing the meaning but most Kanji are traditional Chinese which makes it harder for me to recognize since I only learned Simplified Chinese in highschool. But I’d lying if I say that it doesn’t help me whatsoever.
I mean if you have discord perhaps I can add you, if you do not mind that is if the absence of PM is a major problem. I’m kinda on the same boat

Yeah I have discord. Euruzilys#2604
Now I wonder if wanikani have discord, I doubt since it might compete with their own forum lol.
