Do you know who the youngest person ever to finish WaniKani was?

Me :moyai: On a more serious note: He can’t be younger than 14, because you’re allowed to use WK when you’re at least 13 years old, and WK takes at least one year. Other than that, I have no clue, sorry! I think I remember reading about someone who got to level 60 when he was 16 years old, but I m…

Show me an 8 year old who is so dedicated to learn Japanese that he does WK in one year :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

I could make the same claim about 13 year olds, 40 year olds, or 28 year olds. People do unexpected things at any age.

Hey Yamitenshi! Like mgrice said, it’s a rule for the WK forums but also included in WaniKani’s TOS. Children under the age of 13 aren’t allowed to use WaniKani. :+1: -Nick at WK

And we all know nobody ever does anything they aren’t yet allowed to. Though I’d assume that maybe if somebody really young would post a thread saying “I’m 12 and I just finished wk, what did you achieve last year”, it would be promptly deleted by moderators

Youngest person ever
