I'm not saying it's bad to have romaji, especially for anyone who is a newly beginner at Japanese or just people who aren't interested in learning the language. But I find that having Romaji takes away from the learner's ability to recognize Kana. This is because as a native English speaker when I first started out, I had the tendency to look at the Romaji then Kana or Kanji. Considering that it is literally the first step into learning the language, by using Romaji it defeats the purpose of exposure and repeatability. I would rather have Japanese teaching content to provide Kanji, Kana, and the meaning, in that order. Am I the only one who thinks this?
