Hey everyone! After a bit of back and forth on another post I’ve decided to put together a race! Much like the Tokyo Olympics and Skytree race threads which I’ll be elegantly borrowing elements from we’ll be going head to head in a somewhat polite all out dash for 60! The rules aren’t much different but the goal is hitting 30 before 2023 and finally seeing who can hit 60 first in 2023! This is by no means a reason to wait at 30 though, if you hit it before the rest of us keep going and give us some high octaine competition that’ll make us all try even harder! Come watch or join in on the chaos! I’d like to put the level limit at around 15-20 for joining but that doesn’t mean you can’t race alongside us until our general level gets into your bracket! I’d also like to hear opinions on a good name for this competition but our group will called the Manly Racers! Of course we could come up with something cuter or more fun but It’s something I just thought up on the spot and It stuck. To join in on the race there will be a post below giving you the ability to add yourself and your current stats to the board, to add your name and stats to the post all you’ll need to do is copy paste the following example into the post and fill it out accordingly; |Current Level|Name Here|Date Joined/Last Reset|Days Per Level|Starting Level in Race|Total Levels Gained during Race|Burned Turtles!| You can also just copy paste the previous persons information below theirs and fill it out with your information. The official start of this race will be the 31st of December 2021 while the first Milestone cut off period will be the 31st of December 2022. As a side note just in case it wasn’t obvious, do keep your information up to date! You don’t have to change it everytime a turtle gets burned or whenever you level up but make sure to try come back and change details at least once a month! Thank you for reading and I hope you’re all enjoying your holidays!

[Screenshot_20221223-082318_Samsung Internet] One year on WaniKani :grin: And a 365 day streak BTW :rofl: With fast levels around the corner :muscle: Keep vrooming :racing_car::checkered_flag:

Second racer at Lvl 59 :scream: [One Punch Man - Test physique] Now it’s UR turn :index_pointing_at_the_viewer: Ruuuuuuuuuuuuun Tsukinimite!!! :muscle::racing_car::checkered_flag:

Lvl 43 at last! :hot_face: The fast levels start on Christmas :christmas_tree::santa: just one day after completing a year on WK :crocodile: I wish happy holidays for all of you fellow racers :grin: May the coming year see all of us reaching our goals [__shiina_mashiro_aoyama_nanami_and_kamiigusa_misaki_sakura_sou_no_pet_na_kanojo_drawn_by_fujii_masahiro__sample-fd5edf2f30f2f9faea7ce74d58887d7a~2] Keep vrooming :racing_car::checkered_flag:

Level 41, woohoo! Still dealing with an absurd review pile, but starting to get it under control. Under 900 now. Trying to hit it from both ends - have my laptop set to prioritize the oldest level, and the app on my phone set to prioritize the newest level, so I feel like I’m making steady progress on both the old and the new. Hit my one year streak on reviews last week, though - that was nice :slight_smile: I’ve managed to keep the lessons under control too, which helps me feel less overwhelmed. I’m on break from school until Jan 3, so the goal is to get it to 0/0 at least ONCE before I go back. Just have to keep reminding myself - slow and steady.

Level 30 and a belated merry Christmas! Also congrats to @HaseebYousfani on that amazing level 60. You earned yourself a cake day, maybe celebrate this every year?

Level 60 at long last! Though I guess it went pretty quickly. And I finally get to make one of these! [image] Level 60 - A Year of Speed Level 60 Celebration I made it to level 60 in 358 days! I don’t usually talk so much, but since it’s a special occasion… Why am I learning Japanese? I’ve always had a bit of an interest in Japan and I knew the language was very difficult to learn, and so a few years ago I got curious enough to look into it all. I figured I’d learn about it until I got bored, but that never really happened. I kinda just picked it up on a whim and stuck around because I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. Why so fast? I…

Congratulations :smiley::smiley::smiley: Such amazing speed! I just hope U manage to reach all your goals for Japanese and for your life this 2023. Go pick Ur cake before it’s to late :birthday: [original (3)] Krep vrooming :racing_car::checkered_flag:

gz on 60, finishing in under a year is just surreal good job :cat2:

Okay m0r1… Lvl 59 all right! Just 1 more to finish [UTaC] There you gooooooo :racing_car::checkered_flag:

Congrats to everyone who hit their goals! :confetti_ball: :birthday: I fell behind my goal of hitting Level 30 by the end of this year. Due to a long break from new lessons, I spent about 5 months on Level 15 before finally leveling up to 16 last week. Even though I’m not at Level 30, I’m still proud of the progress I made this year. So I’m here to say that even if (like me) you fell behind in this Study Buddy Race, I’m proud of you for continuing to try your best! Congrats on sticking with your learning, regardless of speed! :confetti_ball: :clap: 頑張って！
