Tokyo Olympics 2021: WaniKani Edition (the real date, not the 2020 gun-jumpers)

Is a motto in another language ok?
“Les petits ruisseaux font les grandes rivières”. English would be “streams make great rivers” but I prefer the french tone.

@Chewt we’re encaplusing our bracket 10-19!

Welcome to WaniKani and to team 風! :green_heart: I added you to the leaderboard. May the wind blow right answers to your reviews! :wink:

You might have already read this, but in case you didn’t, I highly recommend this guide. It’s a good read for everyone, regardless of your intended speed.

There’s also this great list of resources for learning Japanese!

Thanks for the links @Windgreen and @Joeni! That list of additional resources is so amazing, and at the same time pretty intimidating.:sweat_smile: I think I’ll just stick with Wanikani for a few weeks at least before I start going down the rabbit hole too far. Some of them I’ve looked at before, like slime forest, Rosetta stone, and Remembering the kanji.

Idk, something about “staying down to earth”? :thinking: Or “flat and on the back of a giant Durtle.”

With all due respect, Shinobusagi is still level 34 - the same level they joined.

I just joined water team!
I’ve been on 8 days so far but can’t keep up with grammar so i’m probably gonna slow down to catchup on bunpro and not make the olympics. Putting my goal as a 3 for now.

edit: @whinette nyaiiice to meet you. Go 水!

hey, you think you can make august next year?

lemme do some maths (well excel more like)… I did not realise you were speedish running. Well i guess there are those fast levels as well.

I could finish in august at my current speed but i can’t see myself keeping up for some reason. Am i being a wuss?

I don’t see any reason why not if we ignore my two breaks:

And got at the speed you want, not some arbitrary target <3

I’m just competitive and this helps me want to keep up ^^

Yeah, It does help to have a goal. Mine were N5 in july and N4 in december but that got covided out of my life so this could be a good way to stay on my toes. And the 0/0 streak challenge. Now I need something to force gently nudge me to do grammar lol!

No pressure from the team either! Better take it slow than abandon early.
