I got to level 12 last year but haven’t done any lessons or reviews in probably 8 months. I’m starting to feel motivated again and want to pick it back up, but I’m really struggling to just jump back in. I really need a refresher from the beginning including on things it thinks I’ve mastered or burned. I don’t really want to completely reset my progress though because I think it will come back faster than it took me to learn the first time. Are there any tips for where to start in this scenario?
Welcome back!
For just getting back into it, maybe start with 5-10 lessons a day. This can help you ease back into learning new items while you review the old ones.
For your burnt items, do them in Extra Study. It’s kind of like reviews, but it’s more of like a refresher or to reinforce what you know.
Before restarting tackling any new lessons, I would first work through all of the pending reviews you have to determine what you do remember and what you need to relearn.
Had you reached the point of having any burned items before you stopped? If so you could go through all those items in the burned items in the Extra Study section. For any that you completely forget/draw a blank on, resurrect it to put in back into the lesson queue.
Depending on how many pending reviews you have and how many burned items you decide to bring back, at some point you will catch back up and be ready to start doing new lessons. Start by doing a small number of new lessons (e.g. 5) each day and add more if the resulting workload is good for you.
