The 0/0 Streak Challenge

Oh god, finally I’m up to date again! Since lv16 I was hard backlogged due to circumstances and it took real efforts to push lessons down from 200 mark! With 7days/lvl speed, new lessons avalanched way quick.

Though this time I managed to develop reliable schedule, so from now on I should keep my WK journey on more comfortable way.

Especially I’m proud being able to hit 0/0 mark during first 20 levels, with 3 examples/vocab still here. So from lv21 on I should have even more time for supplimentary studies.

EDIT: looking back at my mark-200-post

…well, it took 19 days after all.

Got my level up this morning! :partying_face: I finished my lessons some hours later. Now I just have waves upon waves of reviews to get through. It’s gonna slow down tomorrow, as most of these items will be in apprentice 3 by then. ^^;

I added you, waiting for the response :slight_smile:

There is no official WaniKani Discord Server. But there are a lot of threads with their own dedicated servers for their WK or fun related activities.

I don’t. It might seem like much, but I don’t really feel that’s true. I take my time with the kanji, taking notes on the upcoming vocabulary and readings - concentrating on that mostly. I read the mnemonics for the meanings and try to commit them to memory (or create my own ones sometimes). The vocab shouldn’t be hard if you do them immediately after guruing the last the level’s kanji + vocab, as they merely reinforce the kanji knowledge and vocab that you should know by then (I don’t use any reordering). Those lessons really just takes minutes to complete, but is basically just the time to do the quiz.

Then I let the SRS take care of making me learn the items properly.

My main priority during review for a new level, is to nail the radicals, then as many of the kanji as I can, and then the vocab. By the end of day one, most items should be in apprentice 3 with some stragglers that I’ll focus on more specifically when I fail them.

I hope that helps with understanding my learning process. It might not be for everyone. But, I don’t think the human brain has some set number of items it can learn/ day. The sky is the limit rather.

I do that all the time in computer games :video_game: (learning names for equipment, “recipes” for how to make recovery items, craft stuff, stats for weapons, strategies for gameplay, names of characters etc etc etc.). You learn tons of stuff in games. So, I don’t think there is a problem with learning 70 items (a typical amount on levelup) in a single day. ^>^

Streak: 58 levels

Accuracy is dropping slightly from the higher workload, but not too far to be unmanageable.
One more week!

LVL 22: 0/0 streak #22. despite weird internet today and lots of time-outs i managed to somehow work through all my lessons after guru’ing the radicals. almost caught up now to my previous level and i remembered only one or two kanji from my last run. now with really completely new items i have to remind myself again that sometimes having low review accuracy is normal :sweat_smile:
