Hi everyone
Just bought the book "remembering the kanji" and have just begun reading it, when I realised that there are no japanese phonetics attached to the kanjis you learn about. Is this ideal for wanting to learn the language and kanji readings?
The book gets lots of praise, so I assume I'm going at it completely wrong, but I really can't wrap my head around the idea that the kanjis only have the English translation while missing out on the japanese phonetics. Am I supposed to look up the kanjis while reading/practice them and if so, is google translate good enough for that or are there better alternatives?
Edit: thanks for all the responses and inputs. I'll skip RTK for now and work with genki instead.
