Great idea! I’ll prepare some sweet onigiri then.
… If somehow I manage to fail all 24 items I might use it as consolation prize

Level 17 achieved.
Honestly I am at a point where I’m worrying for my retention, lately it feels like I’ve been getting older reviews wrong a bit more often. I can’t seem to recall the kunyomi readings a lot of the time, and when I encounter things in the wild I can’t read the kunyomi despite knowing it in the reviews when it shows up along with the word WK taught with it. I guess I haven’t been associating the new reading as the kunyomi and so I don’t remember it if isn’t that exact word. Anyone else run into that problem?

Can I ask, what is the script you are using that color codes your reviews based on type? (radical, kanji, vocab). I feel like that would be very useful!

I’m exactly the same way! That’s why I’m doing the same number of lessons every day. It stops the overwork and then burnout cycle, but it also motivates me when I just don’t feel like doing wanikani, because I can tell myself, well it’s only this many lessons, completely achievable.

I run into that all the time. I will know something in the context of wanikani reviews, but then when I encounter it in life I can’t remember it. But, I also find that if I look it up after seeing it out in the world, I remember it much better afterwards! I think it can’t hurt to see kanji in a lot of different contexts, and there’s no shame in having to look things up again. Every time you relearn something it will stick better!

Thank you for sharing that! I suppose I should start reading more

And just read an N4 graded reader since the last thing I read was an N5 which I found far too easy. This one was a good story, quite tragic. Some kanji I didn’t know but it was in furigana, the kanji I did know helped me a lot in understanding, I wouldn’t be able to accurately translate it, my grammar skills were all picked up naturally so it’s not the most reliable. That being said I understood pretty much all of it, there was one detail I had misunderstood at first but halfway into the book I corrected that mistake after it was touched on again in a different context.
It felt quite fulfilling, I recommend everyone here give a graded reader a shot, also got to see a bit of kunyomi in use, so that was a good reinforcement.

So, I decided to stick with Wanikani for a year. Even fulfilled my goal to reach 4th until the 2023, lol.)
The amount of lessons they give at 4th are pretty horrifying.
EDIT: btw, current level is the one you are learning at the moment or the one you finished?

I haven’t got any burns yet. What does it mean when you say the workload will go up when this happens? Haha should I be worried 
2 Likes
soo… if you have/get the heat map script
you can see the times when your burns come in. basically 6 months after your first lesson if you made no mistake. those reviews essentially are on top of your normal load.
on the top left, you have a little graph button to plot your workload.

Basically: It takes some months for an enlightened item to be reviewed again. So once that happens, you might feel those items are adding to your “usual” workload.
I think “Current Level” refers to the Level displayed in the WK app (the same as the one in your level-up email)

that’s a separate script, though, btw
