If it’s like guru or master, it goes right down to the same as if you’d just learned it? I’ve somehow climbed to level seven, but I feel like I’m cheating… half the words, I just keep adding the red pronunciations together (if there’s two kanji), or try some dumb wordplay to remember the weird pron…

It doesn’t reset to Apprentice 1 when you fail a Guru or higher word. There’s a useful script for keeping track of the sub-levels in WaniKani, so that you can know if a word is Apprentice 1-4 or Guru1-2. You’ve just started, but I don’t follow as to why you think you’re cheating. Are you not rememb…

I’ve never paid attention to the actual system for that happens when you get something wrong. I just let WaniKani hammer it into my brain until I finally burn it. But for the rest of the post, most people think learning kanji is hard, but many still manage to learn it. I used to think “I’ll never b…

So, I am level one and thereby my opinion can be taken with that in mind. Yes, learning Japanese is very very hard. I barely have a grasp on hiragana and katakana. I am very bad at languages- of all the subjects in school that I took, foreign language was the only thing I didn’t naturally remembe…

You cannot keep guessing. You need to READ and LEARN the mnemonics. If they are not clicking with you, you need to make up your own. Also, I moved from around 85% accuracy to around 96% by doing the following: Actually re-reading the Kanji meaning and reading before taking the quiz (Not just clic…

yeah, that’s how you remember stuff. using associations or relations while extensively practicing over time. this is probably the fastest way. but it will still take you at least 1-3 to know it correctly. the system makes sure that you manage to remember overtime. if you aren’t, then that means you …

I think 6 years is just too long, and I encourage you to halve it. English is also my second language, but we cant compare apples to apples here: We did not have SRS systems in our laptops and smartphones, plus multiple grammar sources when we were kids-younger (15-25 years ago, I’m 35) We need to…

[image] MidoriUma: If it’s like guru or master, it goes right down to the same as if you’d just learned it? For me, I find it helps if I think of the review sessions just like flipping through paper flashcards - it’s not a test, so it’s ok to get it wrong. If I can’t think of the right answe…
