Removing Recognition Card Type from Kanji Meanings Deck
May 30, 2026
After a lot of consideration, we decided to remove the “recognition” cards from the Kanji Meanings decks.
My main goal with the Kanji meanings deck is for students to get used to the way kanji are made, through writing. The simple English meaning we give is a foot in the door. It is not the main thing that I want students to associate with the kanji forever.
When the time comes for recognizing kanji, I want students to recognize words that they are a part of. Not just a single English meaning, or a single kanji representing the word.
We will remove the “recognition” cards from today, and only the “write X kanji/part” will remain.
Thank you for giving Hirameki a try! We look forward to your feedback as we continue to update it with new features!
