What happens when you get a word wrong? This is so hard

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 answer quickly, it just means that I need to study that item more, so it makes sense for it to drop to a lower SRS level.

Can regular people (ie. non-language specialists, single language people) actually get to level 60?

I’d really encourage you to read through some of the posts made by people who reached level 60, if you haven’t done so already. All kinds of people make it to level 60 in all kinds of different ways. There’s a collection of their posts linked from this thread:

The Level 60 compilation - Learn from those that did it!

This thread is very simple: it kinda became a trend for Level 60s to make a thread announcing their arrival to level 60 and sharing their journey of using Wanikani and learning Japanese. So I think it’s time to start collecting these into just one solid post! In here, you’ll be able to find several posts of people that reached level 60, full of wisdom for you to conquer your WK/JP journey! adeyura - Level 60 in less than a year (350 days) abdulajet - Level 60 - Hello btw afunia…
