Kanji Course for Trials
Hi I'm new prospective buyer on the trial version. I was a little confused on the method for learning Kanji as I only have access to the Fundamental and Academy 1 courses for Japanese. I thought it was weird that it seemed like I was learning Kanji vocab via sentences right away with Academy 1. So I looked up a few of your Kanji youtube videos from 3 years ago and noticed that your method phase 1 entailed learning the first 50 RTK Kanji first, which seemed like how it should be. I then happened to cross a recent youtube short ad of yours which showed that there was a 3rd course for Kanji that I cannot see or access.
Is this by design for Trial users? I feel like I should have access to it if I'm given access to Academy 1, as it is a bit confusing without it. And had I not taken the time to look into this and realize there is actually a 3rd course, I may have got frustrated and given up before deciding to purchase. I'm assuming that it will be there if I do purchase?
If it is by design, it would seem better to at least show that there is a 3rd course available if you do purchase by having it greyed or locked out, yet visible.

kanji academy is available to people who have early access
no idea when its coming to standard or if its a issue of the trial

The kanji course is only EA (early access). So if you only purchase standart it still wont be there, I do in fakt not no why they make adds bout it, but anyway. I'm learning Kanji only through vocab and it works for me. Tho some ppl like to do some extra kanji study, where the deck does it just faster, you can use the exact same methode they use with your own flashcards you have on anki.
I'd say the trial only gives standard features, so no "issue" per se

I see, Ok looking at the pricing page I see it listed there. Plus I'm also planning on getting the Lifetime which includes EA so I guess that's not a concern.
I still think it should be greyed out or locked and then labelled that its available if you get EA or Lifetime so that it's easier to see what you are getting and potentially missing out on. Or even better, available for the trial, then clearly labelled that that Course is not available in the Standard plan
Had I not looked into this I may have decided not to buy at all, and I'm sure there may be others that did just that
Just so you know, you don’t have to study kanji. Some do and many decide not to. My advice is do it if you really want to or do academy course and see if you’re struggling with the words with kanji and if you are then do some kanji study.
Also yeah the kanji course needs better clarification on where it’s available. Not sure if it’s supposed to be unavailable in the trial or not @HulK
