@StackExchange Could you even use hiragana here?
 
@Troyen Probably not
 
@StackExchange or katakana here
 
That looks automated
 
it does
 
ie, it's just a way of showing pronunciation for those who don't know very much Japanese
 
10:13 PM
I think it's also more basic than that lunch word, but I guess that's subjective ;)
 
I do find some of the levels a bit mysterious
But we'll probably settle down to using one (or maybe... at a stretch) 2 feeds, so that won't matter so much
 
@StackExchange So far I'm liking this feed better than "A Daily Japanese Word" - the link also has much more helpful info
 
Yeah... I think that's my favorite so far
The JWOTD.com words are a bit too... basic
 
The example sentence is really helpful too
Because some of these definitions are ambiguous at first glance
 
I wouldn't mind a kana pronunciation guide...
