The Level 60 compilation - Learn from those that did it! 🍰

WaniKani Level 60 Celebration
1

This thread is very simple: it kinda became a trend for Level 60s to make a thread announcing their arrival to level 60 and sharing their journey of using Wanikani and learning Japanese.

So I think it’s time to start collecting these into just one solid post! In here, you’ll be able to find several posts of people that reached level 60, full of wisdom for you to conquer your WK/JP journey! :slight_smile:

Hall of Fame - Burn everything until the last turtle!

This is a Hall of Fame for those that went one step further, burned every single item on Wanikani and lived to tell us their story.

  • Blaveloper - 漌äș†ïŒ Burned 100% of WaniKani and advise for others (plus new year wishes)
  • MissMisc - All burned! :fire::turtle::fire::durtle_hello:
  • rodan - Introduction / Level 60 / Everything Burned

Rules on adding more level 60’s threads:

  • Follow alphabetical order.
  • Link to the thread on the username.
  • Thread’s title comes after the username.
  • Make sure to remove the name of the thread from the thread’s link. By doing this, changing the original thread’s name won’t reset the number of clicks in the links of this thread. Example:

From: community.wanikani.com/t /my-journey-of-368-days-the-ultimate-guide-for-wk/31318
To: う vs. お: Does it matter?

As this list starts to get filled, I’ll find some way of separating the threads by categories (speeders, slow but steady, living in JP experiences, studying JP in Uni experiences, whatever it makes sense). Feel free to do it yourself, just don’t break things :v:

Sit down and listen to your ć…ˆèŒ©s.

The click count is like a real-time popularity contest. Of course, you’re already winning that. :joy:

5

Should be a good source of inspiration for people who feel like they’ll never see the end.

6

Wait, this was a level 60 post? I thought it was just a troll post. :joy:

7

Yes.

Also yes.

#level60trollpost

Also, it seems to be attracting the clicks :stuck_out_tongue: (well, maybe I should wait a day or two before commenting the results, because my previous observation is already out of date)

8

Yup, everyone is tired of reading about my story at this point :stuck_out_tongue: They want new bloodddddddd

9

Great idea for a thread, @jprspereira!

You’re awesome!

10

Nice Idea!

Anyone know of a good way to maybe make a diagram that list in order of how long it took everyone to complete their journey? and maybe we can get together a separate list for those that completely burn all of wanikani like @MissMisc recently? :grinning:

11

May I live in your experiences please JP? :heart_eyes:

I genuinely thought you were referring to yourself the first time I read that
 :joy:

12

The hall of fame after beating the Elite 4 ! I’ve added a couple of contenders. Great idea!

13

I approve of this thread. Also losing the popularity contest :slight_smile:

14

Yeah, doing like a Hall of Fame would be cool for people that burned everything and did a thread about it :stuck_out_tongue:

You already doooo!!! \ :heart_eyes: /

I wrote it with the intention of referring to Japan, but I don’t mind the double-meaning :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Thanks for helping with the list, @MissMisc, @VictorLino, @Uchihaha, @Saruko and @FlamySerpent :heart:

15

I just added your thread, so you still have the opportunity to catch up;) :DD :yellow_heart:

16

Done :sunglasses: :ok_hand:

17

Doesn’t Missy still have some lessons left?

19

She did those, actually. But she has reviews instead (so not “all burned” yet)

20

Ah! I thought I had read that somewhere! Thanks for confirming

21

Yeah what @Naphthalene said

When the 19 new radicals/vocab were added from the content overhaul a few months ago I only had like 6 items left in enlightened waiting to be burned, and with my sub about to run out I just didn’t bother ;3 – but now I have lifetime so I did those remaining lessons shortly after my all burned thread so the race may or may not be on w/ @jprspereira + @Naphthalene
