Hello everyone! WaniKani newbie here in search of an answer.
I used WaniKani for free for a good while, even after getting much of Level 3 to Guru (I think), This past weekend, I bought myself a year subscription since I’d been enjoying it and wanted to continue learning. However, since doing so, I feel like my speed has decreased significantly. I’m waiting 10+ hours to review a handful of words or kanji and I haven’t gotten any new lessons since I initially began my subscription.
What’s the deal? Do I have some secret kanji or radical that I messed up blocking my floodgates? Maybe something went wrong with my subscription and it thinks I’m still on trial?? A third theory??? I know I’ll regret this soon once I’m properly inundated by lessons and reviews, but I am still riding the high of passing N3 and I am ready to LEARN!
You’ll get new lessons when you guru radicals or kanji, or when you level up by guruing 90% of a level’s kanji. You can guru any item in 3 days 10 hours if you get the item right each time and do them on time.
Also, review times are shortened for the first few levels. So you’re not going crazy - there are longer wait times before your apprentice reviews will come up again as compared to levels 1-3
Nope, no lessons waiting. The only thing waiting is me! Here’s hoping tonight’s reviews will Guru all of my level 4 radicals and send me on my way to more regular reviews. I think that may be the problem, I did too much of Level 3 before subscribing so I’m stuck in place until these level 4 radicals come back. Thanks for the help everyone!
