  1. コマン says:

    Thnaks for the posted. Help me a lot. ありがとう な ツ

  2. 不味い has a wrong furigana, it’s written masui instead of mazui. 🙂

    • I was not aware I have had so many spell mistakes. Thanks for finding it and pointing in out. I will correct it immediately.

  3. I have a question: Will the kanji with no mouse-over get an explanation too in the future? It helps a lot to see them also beside the meaning (I can learn kanji faster when I see them more often).
    Thanks in advance 🙂

    • @Erbe Thanks for the suggestion. The basic idea is to provide a link for all kanji mentioned in the examples for exactly the purpose to give more exposure. It just takes so much time to complete this.
      Currently I am focussing on completing the kanji cards for the 2000 most common kanji, so that I do not have to check if a kanji is already in or not. I am close to having 50% done, so it will still take a while. But your idea is on the to do’s for future development of the site.

  4. It would really help if you coloured red only the kanji needed for N5. Overall the site is great, thank you!
