1. Is there a mobile set up to read Japanese? This whole, copy the word then look it up on jisho thing is tedious

2. I am having a lot of trouble understanding the usage and difference between やむを得ない and ざるを得ない, can someone please clarify for me?

3. Does anyone know of a list or Anki deck that contains a cross reference of KKLC to Kanji In Context numbers? I have both books, and would like to more easily jump between them, and ideally reference them from an Anki deck.

   Also, and this is just an Anki question, if I set a KKLC number in a KKLC deck as the top field, can I append the KiC number into that same deck from a TSV overlay? I’ve never tried it, but it makes sense in my head.

4. Was wondering about this:

   > こんなすてきなものは、この世に二つとないに決まっている。

   I’m not sure exactly the function of having two に particles in the last part is, grammatically, but I think this means something like, “as for this wonderful thing, it is certainly the most unique thing in the world”

   But IDK, I’m having some trouble with it.

   CONTEXT: Someone has a magical tea set, and they have been having meetings with all sorts of people when they make tea. These meetings have been very fulfilling and enjoyable.
