Too bad, I was really looking forward to those juicy illegal memes. (¬_¬”)

Same here, followed by “Why don’t you learn something useful, like Spanish?”

I feel like for any hobby, “because I like it” is a perfectly sufficient reason, but for some reason most people can’t place language learning as a hobby in their brain. It has to be for a reason, they think. In my opinion “because I like it” is one of the best reasons to learn a language!

I JUST told my sisters I am doing this because I like it and was having fun. Of course, that’s not why I started learning Japanese, but it’s why I keep doing it!
They don’t understand it at all.

This may very well only be funny in my mind…but I think of her every time this comes up in my reviews!

I don’t know how I ever did 100+ reviews a day.
To be fair, the stuff that’s hanging around after level 60 is almost by definition “the hard stuff”. Either because you’re only recently level 60 and it’s all the obscure stuff in the later levels, or because it’s some sort of leech that you’re having trouble remembering for some reason.

No but seriously why

Exactly, and once you’re like 6 months past level 60, basically the only items remaining are the ones you have gotten wrong over and over and over again. Doing reviews when almost everything is or has been a leech at some point gets so frustrating.

You’d think that but I can’t seem to stop running into things I’ve just done lessons for. Maybe that just mean I’m obscure.

this is probably just an example of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, which is a cognitive bias which appears after learning something which makes you think you see it more. In terms of frequency, the higher you go in WaniKani, generally the lower the frequency of the word gets.

I mean it’s all relative. “tariffs” is a relatively rare English word (probably wouldn’t make any top 5000 words by frequency list), but while a lot of people were recently googling how exactly they work, I think most native speakers had some idea of what they were. I certainly had things I learned in 50-60 that came up in stuff I was reading too, but it’s not at nearly the same frequency as when the word you’re learning is… 夕飯
