April update

We had a hiccup in the Unit publishing service while Caleb was on a well-deserved vacation after fixing the bot attack that caused service interruptions. This has been fixed and Units are being published again!

We also released a few new support articles, started a daily mini-lesson series that sends Japanese straight to your inbox for free, and posted a few of our Newsletters to the newsletter section of the site.

You can sign up for these mini-lessons by going here.

We also have some downloadable kana charts that you might enjoy having open if you're working on solidifying your kana abilities ^^

We made one with mnemonics...

...and a simplified one:

Support articles

We published 7 new Units this month, containing...

30 lessons sentences
88 new vocab sentences

We began uploading all of our past newsletters to the support site!

We'll be adding these periodically, so keep an eye out for more soon

App and copy updates

We updated some explanations on the app website and added links to our support site in various places including...

The "reset progress" box
The avalanche settings box that shows up when a review avalanche is detected
Removed the "new feature" popup on review sets when visited for the first time

There was also an iPhone update that caused formatting issues when studying throughout reviews and new Units, which have been fixed.
