I have a question about RTK. I’ve been reading different peoples’ views on using this; some positive, some negative, but I’d like to ask you people here since a lot of you seem to use it.

Is it really the best/quickest way to learn Kanji? I assume it’s strictly for being able to write kanji from memory and basically know what it means? I’m hesitant on this method because it doesn’t teach you the readings… and that’s really why I like Koichi’s approach to teaching Kanji, because I get all (or most) of the readings along with the meaning.

I’ll admit I started on it probably a month ago, but not knowing the readings to the kanji I was learning really bugged me a lot.. so I stopped.

Do you use any other methods alongside RTK that helps with learning readings (besides this website, of course)? I’ve tried looking up various things, but I never can tell what would be reliable or not a complete waste of time.

Oh, I guess that was two questions.
