Just Noticed This

[ashleylm]

I’m at Level 10. Suddenly realised that the grey text in the answer bar, before I answer, is the Kanji (and hiragana) for the word “answer”: 答え

I’ve seen it thousands of times by now, and never paid it any attention (because when I started, it was grey gobbledygook), but I suddenly SAW it, and understood it. Thrill!

(Also watched episode 2 of Galaxy Express and it was called, essentially, Fire Planet particle-meaning-possession Red Wind, i.e. the Red Wind(s) of Mars, which is how they translated it. More thrill!)

Just so pleased to be learning this.

Doh. I never read it. Mind blown.

level 8 here, the same thing happened to me maybe two or three days ago. rewarding! (in a way )

Have you ever been fast enough, or is your computer slow enough - for this Lv5 Kanji? 考えている

Finally, I know what the placeholder text on vocab readings means

It means answer [Annotation%202019-11-19%20233649]

@YuugamiSamurai would undoubtedly agree with you

Moments like this will become more and more frequent as you level up. Even though I’m nearly level 60 I still get excited when I see something in the wild that I’ve just studied. It feels so rewarding and lets you know that you are actually making progress.

One of my mind-blown items was the 左右 (さゆう). In kendo we have lot of funny terms which most of them you just learn to say and what they mean, but I doubt most people actually look into the origins of the saying. So every warmup we do sa-yuu-men, which is repeated left and right strikes to men (head). So when I saw the kanji for left and right, I got that lightbulb moment of figuring out that it literally means left and right when we do sa-yuu-men.

It also feels great when you see a kanji EVERYWHERE and then finally you get to learn it in WK. There are super common kanji in the level 20s

[Saida]

is the Kanji (and hiragana) for the word

Just as an aside the hiragana in the word is called okurigana (送り仮名).

[ustaalary]

Omg, I’ve just learnt the 送 kanji, so the okurigana (送り仮名) actually makes sense now!
Thrill!

[Entity447B]

There’s something really electrifying about suddenly being able to see meaning where you couldn’t before, isn’t there?

[Oatsy]

I actually looked it up yesterday lol.

[emucat]

It also happens the other way around.

You see something… you don’t know what it means. You check it. It’s burned.

OUCH
