Looking good. (Some of the hiragana needs extra proof-reading!)

Hi,

Hi,

Thank you so much Morita-san!!!!

 

Piers, if you have any suggestions regarding how to better choose the hiragana translations, would love to hear it. Feel free to PM me. I normally try to find the reading in combination with the kanjis next to it, but when that fails, I'm just guessing as to which reading to use....

 

とっても、むずかしいね。。。。

Look at the first word in No 5 and your hiragana. 極帳　きわめちょう

 

Feed the kanji into the URL window, Junichi, and see what comes up.

 

Also, just as a general observation, you need to decide whether to run the hiragana all together or break them up with spaces as in English. Above you seem to have started with one and then switched to the other. Why are you adding the hiragana readings? For Westerners? If so, then splitting the words, as you started doing, makes for much easier reading than long lines of hiragana, IMHO.
