Hi! Since I am new learner proceeding with 4 apps + Genki and no real life teacher or fellow students, I’m particularly interested in hearing other peoples’ metrics. Obviously we are all running our own races, particularly those of us learning Japanese with no likely professional need or use for the language. Still: numbers are fun!
Here are [my WaniKani stats](https://imgur.com/a/pMBfhDB) from [wkstats](https://www.wkstats.com/). Please feel free to share your own if you use the app, and describe what your journey has been like with the app so far (or why you dropped it, as I know a lot of people here have in favor of focusing on Anki/immersion).
Parenthetically, please don’t take this it as an endorsement of WK. Although I personally have had a great experience with the app 15 levels in, I realize that it is not for everyone, and that a lot of people find the mnemonics annoying or unnecessary. I’m focusing on WK stats here because it’s easy to do an apples-to-apples comparison with regard to pace and accuracy.

I’m going at my own pace. 🙂
Just started 🙂

I used WK about a year and a half ago before ultimately taking a LONG hiatus. Excuses here, excuses there, ended up not studying during that time at all. I reach about level 9 before dropping it. I do own the lifetime subscription, so if I ever wanted to come back and study, I have that option.
However a very recent trip to Japan (my first time ever) reignited my interest for the language, and this time, I don’t intend to quit. I had about 1000+ reviews that just jumping back into WK would be a struggle, so I made the hard decision to reset back to level 1, so my stats aren’t all that special at the moment. Only level 2 at the moment, but that’s my story. 🙂
Nice. I just checked mine and I average around 30 days to level up.
