Hey, just a quick idea, not sure if it's feasible. It would be great if there was button you could just click to always separate words with two or more characters to study the word as whole, but also all of its parts individually. This would be a lot easier than going through and adding each character separately.

you mean in the definition practice right? there is no way to see the definitions of the separate characters, also something I noticed just now, trying to check something. Maybe something to put i the info box(maginifying glass)?

We are working on adding an option do this, yes. It would automatically add items for the component characters whenever the word-level items were added (from the queue or from your vocab lists).

I don't think it would do this for character definitions, though, just their writings, readings, and tones. I'm thinking this way because for definitions, you don't practice the character-level ones while doing the word-level ones. Make sense?

Also, this option would probably only apply to Chinese, since it's less useful to study Japanese characters on their own.

However, if you see a word you don't know the definition of, I you read a word and don't know pinyin or translation, it helps to get to know the meaning of the composing characters, so you can remember better later. You don't agree with this? Or did I　 misunderstand you?

I guess for those users who want to learn all the component characters, adding their definitions is probably in line with their motivations. I am convinced.
