That's certainly not the only or even the most common usage of the word. For example, most educated Catholics don't consider the Anglican church or mainstream Judaism or Islam as cults. On the other hand, many Catholics would cons

I guess you meant "prices have only gone up 30% if only buy imported goods"? I think purchasing power has gone down more than 2%, because of the sales tax hike. Otherwise you have a point.

I doubt you could easily initiate a chargeback because: they only accept debit cards, it's a card-present transaction, and presumably the buyer has to enter their PIN. For the sake of the argument, you can still initiate a chargeback e

In my opinion, Japanese homophones only become a significant in problem in fairly advanced Japanese, when the proportion of Sino-Japanese words (as opposed to yamatokotoba, "native" Japanese) increases. In conversational Japanese

I believe using your own language is fine (please see my other comment). That said, you can still use pictures together with example sentences. You don't have to find a picture that unambigously means "hope". It can be a pict

Anki and SRS in general are awesome indeed. As for using pictures only: there are studies that show that pictures and mnemonics improve recall, but AFAIK there are no studies that say that using your native (or another known) language is ba

Japanese has pitch accent, but usually only one syllable is accented and there are only 2 "tones". It's not fully tonal like Mandarin. FWIW, I've never bothered to learn Japanese pitch accent properly. I'm sure that

FWIW, in Japan you just get a spousal visa that's valid for 3 years (give or take). After that you can apply for a renewal. You can apply for a permanent visa after 5 years or so but there's no guarantee you'll get it.

Thank you for the clarification. However, my point is that some gateways do charge according to the card type.

I suppose the idea is to determine the so called "card scheme" (Visa, Master, etc), not necessarily the IIN. E.g. for some payment processors, the merchant service charges are different according to the card scheme (it does't
