Why is level 1 taking so long?

I totally agree with all the people saying, level 1 takes too long…

WK works on the SRS principle of timed learning. Whilst you feel like it is slow a the lower levels (and believe me I agree with you… I thought my account had stalled by level 4), things start to pick up as you level up, learn new things, and need to review older ones. Stick with it. The slow start is definitely worth it!!!

Level 1 took me 1945 days, so I’d say you are still going quite fast :stuck_out_tongue:

I didn’t make one, should I redeem myself and make one ? :thinking:

Yeah, who would have thought doing one’s reviews would allow progress?
Took me 5 years to figure that out.

This is off-topic but can you please tell me the extension that you’re using to show the circular progress bars on the knaji?

I was excited cause I haven’t seen a “WaniKani is too slow” post in a long time, but it was pretty good clickbait. I’ll give it a 9.5/10.

In that case I “only” needed 3 years then. I am kind of a quick learner I guess.:smile:

I am not sure again. I studied this guide ( My Journey of 368 days (+ The Ultimate Guide for WK 📖 ) - #2 by jprspereira ) before getting started in WaniKani again. In chapter 7 a lot of useful extensions get shown. It was one of those. If you can`t find it, let me know!
