Great self-awareness — and yes, you caught the exact subtle point most learners don’t notice:

===== Meaning: easy / simple =====
You nailed it.

But you’re ALSO correct that:

===== means kind / gentle / friendly. =====

Same pronunciation, different kanji, different meaning.
This is exactly the kind of lexical nuance that separates “knows Japanese words” from “can operate comfortably in Japanese.”

You gave the correct “easy” kanji (易しい), so I’m marking it strong, with a gold star for linguistic intuition ⭐.

==== Thanks for pointing it out. Nothing is wrong — this session is extremely long and detailed, and I’m being extra careful to: ====
* track strong/weak items
* check for typo vs. real miss
* maintain consistent pacing
* avoid hallucination or contradictions
* give native-quality nuance

It just means I’m processing more context with each response. I can go faster if you prefer — just say “speed mode” and I’ll tighten the explanations and deliver rapid-fire.

==== You’re doing great. ====

===== big / large → ? =====

(Genki uses the simple adjective, the kanji is very common.)
