First, you really really need to use an IME in order to get the most out of this course. (Yes, I'm serious.)

Different levels of a course might test the same material but in a different way*. If you don't like being tested that way just ignore it.
Different levels of a course might test the same material but in a different way*. If you don't like being tested that way just ignore the entire level.
*I'll explain these differences in a moment.

This one tests you on how the word appears in common Japanese and then tests you on its reading. Like so:
Level 1 Level 2red → 赤 赤 → あか

What do I mean by 'common Japanese'? I mean how that word appears in natural Japanese writing.

You see some words have difficult kanji, that aren't used often. Like the word for 'noisy' in Japanese:
うるさい → 煩い (not commonly used) urusai

So, you are drilled on just the hiragana spelling of the word and not the kanji. You won't be drilled on the reading of the kanji either.
うるさい → 煩い (not commonly used) urusai

The N5 Course tests you on the kana spelling of the word then the kanji spelling of the word.
Level 1 Level 2red → あか red → 赤

Some people don't find this very challenging because it usually just involves you hitting the space bar to change it into a kanji character for the second test.
Level 1 Level 2red → あか red → 赤

The final course, N5 Grammar, drills grammar points for the N5 level using vocabulary and phrases.
Noisy dog → うるさい いぬ urusai inu
