Lauren, thanks for your reply. I wanted to assign the flashcard site (or any other  
site to help students with reading Japanese script) because I have quite a few  
students who are having trouble with hiragana and katakana. Some of it is learning  
problems, but some of it is also laziness. Being proned to laziness myself, I  
know that if a teacher suggested a website to me, I would be all enthusiastic  
about the idea at first, but would find a zillion reasons why I didn't actually  
do it, unless it was an assignment. It's part laziness that I don't put more exercises  
on my course management system than what I already have, but I thought since someone  
else has done the work and is sharing it for free, I might as well have students  
go there.
