I am a great fan of Speed Anki (standard Anki is way too composite for me), so I love the pure design and simple functions. I think it’s perfect even if you only have three minutes to review some kanji, you don’t need to bother understanding the mechanism and the learn handling of functions as in the case of the big brother.

However, I would also like to propose an idea:

This new font for the Kanji you are currently using, is definitely not Mincho. Although this might also look nice, unfortunately the Kanji strokes do differ to a certain extent, which may tend to confuse those who are not aware enough. Let us have a glance of the example of SONAERU. I was using the kana side to train writing the kanji, but when I flipped it over, it turned out to be rather different from the Mincho type (which is undoubtedly the most commonly used typeface throughout the world). I therefore would like to advise the authors to compare the kanji for SONAERU (in this case) displayed in this new font you are currently using, and an MS Mincho (or other commonly widespread) font. Please notice that the difference may potentially expose foreign students of Japanese to an excessive amount of confusion! Please consider, that not knowing that the two slightly different ways of writing (here sonaeru, but numerous other characters also exhibit this kind of deviation) belong to the same entry may prove to be a deadly source of consistent errors.

I am – of course – most interested in any kind of counterarguments regarding this issue. Please honour me with your kind opinion.

I send my best regards to the developers/authors/owners of speedanki.
Keep up good work; you are saving thousands of students a lot of time in learning kanji. We are utterly thankful to you for this.

If Péter happens to be Hungarian, (by the writing of his Name), give him my regards! Even if he’s not. :)

Just a thought. Thanks for reading. Awesome job regardless.

Or do you mean something else. I am aware of the “stress”/cadence for lack of a better word, but if you meant something else, I want to know.

I think the flashcards are good. I wonder about the lists themselves. Can you put some information up about the contents of the lists themselves (maybe in the About section of the site so you don’t have to be annoyed by people like me in the future). I want to know 1) are the lists mutually exclusive (i.e. does 3kyu include words from 4 kyu?) I want to be able to count how many kanji/combinations I know in total. 2) Do the lists include all the recommended kanji from the current JLPT Test Content Specifications? 3) Have you heard that the Japanese government is probably going to add 191 (approx.) new kanji to the Joyo list in 2010? What are your plans to include those?

Thank you very much and great site!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
This site is awesome!
One idea for even better usability would be the ability to navigate using the key-board. For instance, would move cards forward, and would flip the cards. Just a thought!

I also use Kanji Box on Facebook. I like the “game” aspect of it, competing with yourself and others, and adding a time limit. I am studying for the 2-kyuu JLPT, so the time limit is totally relevant.

No idea how difficult it would be, but I would love to see an iPhone application, so I can take Speedanki with me and study on the train/bus.

Thanks so much – keep up the fantastic work!
