In all seriousness, on the topic of study buddy, hard work has its place but relying on others when you’re feeling unmotivated is nice. Other peoples enthusiasm is pretty contagious when you’re feeling wishy washy.

Honestly? Yeah!
It’s great we’re all trying to make Level 30/60 before the end of 2023, and I feel like we’ll be able to do it.
When in doubt, I can always ask for advice if I get stuck on a level and go from there. ^^
Leeet’s goooo!

So a few days ago I finished my fastest level yet! Finished level 5 in ~11 days and…
I thoroughly regret it. SO MUCH VOCAB! Going to go a little slower for level 6…

yep, sometimes you don’t have a real benefit from finishing a level quickly. I also go a little slower for this level because I rushed through the last one and started this level with 140+ vocab. In the end my average stays the same

Question as a n00b: if I start feeling like I’m struggling to remember new lessons for a couple of days, does it make sense to just do reviews for a couple of days and not do any new lessons? Or does that go against the SRS process for any reason 
4 Likes
It absolutely makes sense. I think it is exactly as the SRS process intends.
SRS is not about speed or forcing yourself. It’s more about finding the right speed. When you’re going too fast, just step off the gas for a second. Keeping your speed under control really helps against losing motivation because you’re drowning in reviews.
Good luck!

Thank you!! That makes me feel better. I’m also taking a Japanese course that has vocab each week as well as grammar lessons and I can tell my ability to absorb WaniKani will fluctuate with my mental load at work etc. I have a tendency to obsess over things then burn out so I’m going to try to take my time here

There is a few of us on/around level 30 here already, and I see no reason why more would hurt! :333 So do please join us if you’re up for the race - the atmosphere around here is very pleasant, and everyone is super helpful and supportive :3

new radicals
new kanji
vocab left over from the previous level (unlocks as you finish your last kanji so finishing a lot of kanji in one review session will unlock lots of previous level vocab - something i now try to avoid)
vocab unlocked for the new level
you only have control over the old levels’ vocab so if a lot of lessons feel overwhelming, you might want to reduce that pile before moving on.
you can track it here if you’re not already using it: wkstats
