How would you deal with things like Japanese and English, where the source and target languages are awfully apart?

French, Italian and Spanish all share the same root and English borrows a lot of words from the three of them (plus the alphabet and the indo-european origin).

I'm planning to test German, which also has big differences in language structure.

I expect the app still works well for reinforcing vocabulary, but less well for demonstrating grammar.
