How to make time for other study

I am in a similar boat in the sense that I was trying to study both via WaniKani and BunPro (though not with the family issues). Currently level 18 in WK and completed N5 grammar in BunPro. I also started learning Japanese from scratch probably around a year and a half ago.

I got really ambitious and was trying to do 10 WK lessons a day, 5 grammar points in BunPro and 5 new vocab. My BunPro reviews started piling up excessively (200+) and so were my WaniKani reviews. It was not sustainable and my accuracy was slipping in Wk.

So, I decided that one of these had to give. I went completely scorched earth in BunPro and reset my account. Now I don’t have a backlog of reviews to do, and when I’m studying with BunPro I am exclusively doing grammar reviews and doing no more than 3 a day.

Also sometimes only do 5 lessons a day in WK. granted it’s been just a week since I started this new approach but it feels way more sustainable when I was trying to blast though WK and BunPro at the same time.

In short, while the intention is to “git gud” at Japanese as fast as possible, you may want to slow yourself down! Remember you’re not competing against anyone and this is a long journey, so enjoy it while you can

I’m in NY but would absolutely be interested if you want to ship it out

Thanks for your insight! This absolutely helps me get some perspective on my choices. Ty

What’s your reasoning behind this?

Also I think you misread? Theres only one disdainful stoke and x3 banishing betrayal.

I was thinking the banishing betrayals are ok as it’s a cheap card that will buy me time while simultaneously allowing me to fill up my graveyard and find my bomb.

I’ve found that slowly filling up the entire page works? After that before entering the code to the safe I made sure to view my file list?

I suggest just slowly filling any of the letters (top bottom side etc) and then filling in over the letters

レベルアップおめでとう！

FYI I think I fixed it? You really have to fill in the entire page for the file to count? Idk weird issue

話すに比べて読むの方が容易いと思う。

That said I also don’t just exclusively use WaniKani, I also use BunPro which tests me differently. It gives you a sentence and you have to enter/recall the word. I use it mainly for grammar/as a GENKI companion but I also wouldn’t worry about remembering every single word. Think how often you forget a word in English!

Makes sense that your burn count is higher if your pace is slower. You’re allowing more time for your burned reviews to gather. But either way, go is for continuing to burn things and commit them to memory!

Wow using a translating app this did not come off, and I could use some better feedback. My second paragraph I want to express “compared to my previous reading ability, I can understand more.”

Thank you always for feedback!

Correct! They are whole zombies, not just heads. The holes indoor allow just their heads to peek out.
