Is there a one time download for gif files? And wouldnt it be better if you could lead people away
from romanji even at this stage? Just a suggestion. I dont want to appear smug or something.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have never thought about a gif download pic packages and will
consider it.
I agree to you that it is better to start using kana and kanji as soon as possible. But my
philosophy is not to impose students how they should learn. It also seams that not everyone is
able to properly read Japanese characters on their devices and I do not want to exclude them
from using the site. This is why I decided to provide the kanji, the furigana and the romaji
wherever possible although it significantly increases my work.

I am planning to add material for the JLPT N2, but I am still working on N3 and N4. I am sorry but
it will still take some while until I will be able to add some material on JLPT N2
