I think it's important to learn the basics of stroke order, such as left-to-right and
up-to-down, but not really necessary to memorize the stroke order of each new character, although Japanese people and foreign teachers of Japanese will probably disagree. I have found that when I use the correct stroke order to write a character it looks much neater, but, despite living in Japan, working with the language every day, and communicating much more often in Japanese than my native language English, I almost never need to write Japanese by hand. Therefore it's simply more efficient for me to put the effort and time needed to memorize stroke orders into something else. Sorry I can't give you any specific resources for learning kanji compounds. I learned my Japanese in a very haphazard way while living here, so probably the most effective thing for me was trying to read signposts and advertisements on the train... Not much help to you, I know! Edited by TixhiiDon on 05 May 2013 at 11:04pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Don't learn readings - just learn words. There's no value in learning readings in isolation - it's an utter waste of time. You'll learn them passively as your vocabulary increases anyway.
If you're a beginner, kanji isn't the bottleneck anyway - it only becomes a problem when you want to start reading things aimed at adults and already know the words, just not the kanji for those words. Don't stress about them. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
