Sorry for the off-topic question, but regarding the sample sentence:

明日まで漢字100個以上覚えなくてはならない。- I have to memorize over 100 kanji by tomorrow.

I’m a bit confused by the use of まで and the translation of “by”. My understanding based on previous lessons is that to indicate a deadline, one should use までに. Could someone clarify the nuance here?

Sorry for the late answer! :bowing_man:

Yes, you are completely right, it is an error on our side. I have fixed the sentence to use までに instead :slight_smile:

Sorry for the inconvenience! :bowing_man:
Cheers!
