@mamimumason Hi! Is there a reason 靴 exists as a vocabulary card in addition to being a kanji? It’s the same reading so seems kinda redundant to have to learn it twice. Is it possible to remove it?

Same goes for Stomach really, 胃 (radical) 胃 (kanji) 胃 (vocab), last two both い.

I would say that “shoes” is a pretty important kanji and word combo to learn. How would you know that the vocab is the same reading as the kanji if they didn’t teach it to you? This is a pretty common pattern, you’ve only noticed it twice in 26 levels?

Lord help us if they add a new colour to indicate the kanji and vocab is the same lol.

No, but these two examples are from level 27, where the cumulative reviews are peaking and it seems redundant to be needlessly adding to that pile.

Thank you @cmoncrab san! I totally get your point about the redundancy. Unfortunately, at the moment, we can’t remove one of them. But we’ll brainstorm ways to address this issue and hopefully we can improve it in the future. :slight_smile:

ありがとうございました、@mamimumason 先生!

Recently I got the answer “arts” accepted for 武器 - can you blacklist this? It seems wrong.
