You know, I’m not sure. I haven’t checked that out. Maybe we should do something like that!

Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll be sure to add to the article that a more “preferable”/common way would be to use 夜(yoru).

Hmm… Doesn’t smart.fm allow you to do picture flashcards? Maybe that’s a great idea I haven’t yet explored… Wanna collaborate on a set of such flashcards?

Hi Zyaga, thanks for the link. Just one small correction in part four, I would normally use よる|yoru for the 夜 http://bit.ly/490mVi I’ll link back here soon! 夜の八時です。　＞＞　よるのはちじです。
