So with Heisigs method, the general goal is to be able to see a Japanese sentence and be able to read it in English, then later learn how to actually read it?


Why would you even want to do that? It's really not that hard to just learn the Kanji along with the readings and sample sentences. I don't even bother trying to learn all of the readings, but just learn from examples.

How does it even work when you learn things like 新 for 'new' and later 聞 for 'listening' or something, how do you even know what 新聞 is?
