口 Mnemonic (Resolved 1/29/20)

[UInt2048]

The Level 1 kanji 口 references the mnemonic for the Level 1 kanji 工 although it’s completely possible that the user may still have 工 locked. Is there a way to remove this reference, or at least mention the possibility that the user is unfamiliar with 工?

Here’s the mnemonic in question:

You can’t get that mouth out of your mind. Remember seeing the construction worker こういち earlier in the 工 mnemonic? You can’t forget construction worker こういち’s mouth.

EDIT: Thank you, @JenK, for fixing this so fast!

Thanks. Updated the post.

I actually encountered this “issue” where the 口 kanji showed up before 工 and it indeed confused me and made me stop the lesson and look at the other kanji to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

Not a major issue, but something to keep in mind.

Thanks for bringing this up @JapanStar49! I’ll take a closer look and update it later today
