Looking for tips on practical study strategies for kunyomi/onyomi..
I hadn’t orginially set out to learn kanji but i decided to work it into my studies.. my overall vocab is still quite small, but my comprehension of meaning is good for what ive studied… that being said i need to have a practical method for learning as memorization is not my strong suit.. 1 to 1 isnt terrible but 10 to 1 just isnt going to happen.. so an example of practical in my mind is to study in a way that i will use the info.. for example, i can read 今日 as きょう because i know the word today, not because i know the kunyomi/onyomi for 今 or 日.. but knowing the kanji for today is a way that i will use it practically in the future.. however, my quizes test me on all of the kunyomi/onyomi for the kanji in my curriculum, which im not doing well on..
What is your most practical method/advice? Will my kunyomi and onyomi understanding expand as my standard vocab expands?? And should i be less bothered by my lack of progress untill i have a larger standard vocab???
