I wish it would go into more detail about how 青い both means green and blue

Sadly I feel this would confuse a beginner and it doesn't really try to setup any reasoning for why both are 青い

Blue isn't always blue

Teaches some basic vocabulary while clarifying what is blue. Some of it is what native English speakers would call green.

Blue is sometimes green

I learned something new. I didnt knew that blue is not always blue. Sometimes traffic lights, vegetables/plants and fruits are called blue but are in fact green.

Good for reviewing basic vocabulary. Not entertaining or heavily grammar dependent.

I found this information on https://jisho.org/search/%E9%9D%92

Blue is green, but only in certain circumstances!

A fun little read. Forced me to look up why some things are considered "blue". Made sure I'm paying attention to dictionary definitions.

in case you're confused: 青 means blue in most cases, but green "mostly in compound words and in ref. to fruits, plants and traffic lights"　（jisho)
