For example the kanji for lawyer, 弁護士 shows up. I know that the word "べんごし” means lawyer, but we were never required to learn the kanji compound for it.

Edit: You can take a look at the page to see what I mean. Imagine you're picking up Genki I for the first time. Skritter lists " 戴きます いただきます". Genki does not require you to know that kanji.

I want to study the Genki Kanji the way Genki tells me to study them. Namely, the Kanji at the back of the book, including the highlighted words.

Did you turn off rare kanji? Even though I did this there are still some cases where I do not agree with Skritter's assessment of what kanji are rare or not.

By the way, even though "we" were never required to learn the Kanji (I'm assuming you're in school, I'm self-study) for 弁護士, all three of them are very high frequency and useful to learn. Just some food for thought.

I did turn it off. I think Skritter just includes kanji for words even if the kanji reading is not included in Genki.

If you made changed the setting recently, any words that were already added before the change will stay, the change only affects the future adding of words. If you do find any words that you don't agree with their "rare"ness setting, be sure to send in a feedback report which would be appreciated!

I'm having the same issue. I am also going through Genki self study and there are several words in each chapter that have kanji on skritter even though there is no kanji in the textbook, not even in the kanji column of the vocab lists. I made a similar post before seeing this one. It's rather annoying IMO that I can't see it the way it is textbook, and I think most other sources, I even used the JiSho online dictionary and their definitions didn't have those strange kanji.

I think the issue might be that there are some kanji that aren't marked as rare when they should be. Would you guys mind sending in feedback reports on any words like 戴く　and any others that you think should be marked?
