studying kanji, any tips/methods

so I think I've been doing okay so far in learning grammar and maybe a bit of vocabs but I'm STILL torn on how I should go about with kanji and am struggling to progress. Would it be better to start with the basic radicals within N5/N4 and slowly build them up to understand the roots better? or would simply learning vocabs WITH the kanji be a better choice?

also! is it ideal to learn all the readings (all onyomi, kunyomi) of a kanji as a beginner 😂 or is that something that's okay to pick up as I go through more words…

  1. Dont memorize kanji

    Memorize vocab

    Kanji are just spelling

    Learn kanji components if you like, to the degree its helps distinguish similar characters, but its secondary to vocab

  2. I just learn them with my vocab, adding the meaning of each Kanji in a compound to my notes. Easiest way to do it and you even memorize vocab better if you know the underlying meaning.
