edit: @Mkalbert i moved you up to level 14 in the table. all the best!
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.
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
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.
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
