Stay the heck away from that site. The first I noticed is that it's all in romaji. This alone makes it suspect.

Then the first thing I did was go to the vocab section and go to the animals>mammals section (first one I clicked on).

"Badger" is wrong. "Beaver" is spelled incorrectly in Japanese. "Cheetah" is spelled wrong in Japanese. "Hamster" is spelled wrong in Japanese. "Kangaroo" is spelled wrong in Japanese.

Moreover, I saw on multiple occasions perfect examples of why romaji is counterproductive. "Cheeta" is unbelievably wrong romaji. So incredibly unbelievable that I think the person who made this website can't possibly be able to pass JLPT3. Maybe even JLPT4.

The site is so worthless the Internet should be un-invented just to prevent this website from existing.

OP: do yourself a favor, just google for Tae Kim's Japanese Guide and study from that.
