Hi, this site is really

Hi, this site is really interesting.
I'm sure it must be helpful for those who want to learn Japanese.

I'm a native Japanese speaker, so it is really new to me how non native speakers learn Japanese.
For example, I haven't known 一段活用 or 五段活用.
What a shame!

Your explanation about かねる and かねない was interesting to me.

As you mentioned, most people don't use かねる nowadays.
One of the reasons may be that you can substitue できない for かねる.

決めることができない or 決められない would be good enough even if you don't use 決めかねる.
