Please make it so that during the quiz it doesn't tell you what the character mnemonic is after you select the correct answer. Quiz > any option > select correct answer for ki you are then told how to remember ki, which slows everything down dramatically... Please make it so we can turn this of. I want to select ki then move to the next question.

by N####:

It doesnt give reasons behind the associations between the mnemonics and the character they represent. How am I supposed to remember that "ice cream" represents the "a" character? The mnemonics make no sense to me and therefore adds a layer of confusion to the learning.
