  1. Hello, I want to ask how reliable the nihongo master website is (in furigana and translation). I’m thinking about taking the JLPT vocabulary lists to learn kanji and words by context using Anki, but I don’t know how safe it is. I’m going to an academy and I’m afraid of putting wrong information in my head. I thought about using a book, but it is more difficult to go through the entire thing in a physical format, and that is why I thought of this alternative.

  2. Is pitch accent affected by vowel devoicing? Or otherwise related to it (e.g. maybe vowel devoicing doesn’t happen if the pitch “stress” is on that mora)?
