I'm relatively new to studying Japanese (lvl 3 on wanikani) and still finding my way to learn in the most "efficient" way without burning out since I'm still in this awkward phase where I don't understand 99% of sentences but can make out individual words.
What kind of strategy do people here when it comes to retention? I have worse and better days and right now I'm skipping learning new things on WaniKani for instance, because my retention fell below 80% (i care less about the number but I'm quite tired so I'm trying not to overload myself)
I told myself when I start to have really good days in terms of recalling things I will start adding new things but until then I'm just recalling what I know.
What strategies do you have personally to balance your load so you're not burning out?
I'm currently doing regularly only WaniKani daily (without adding new words) MaruMori on and off and watching Mangas on and off.
I totally fell off my Ankidroid (despite only adding 5 new words, sitting on 120 open reviews) and grammar study since I seem to struggle to stay motivated at all without mnemonics to add new vocabulary or kanji (it might be also just too much for me with WaniKani).
Any tip would be appreciated.
