Unless, you have a good photographic memory. Otherwise it's still a good practice to read, no doubt about that! Especially for compounds.
But, like I said, that's only my opinion...  |
Reading is just one part of my studying. And I actually look up the same word more than once because by the time I re-encounter it I have already forgotten it.
I do written exercises sent to me by a Japanese person. I write to a Japanese pen pal. I read everyday my kanji flashcards adding 10 every once in a while. I read books. I read forums because it is a huge source of information.
Study is not just 1 thing and requires dedication.
