>>13036781>there's no point in ignoring that part of learning Japanese if I'm going to learn it, right?Sure there is.
To learn faster.
If you're learning the kanji for every word you learn then you're learning at minimum 2 words for each actual word.
Though in practice you also need to learn the Chinese reading so really it's 3 words for 1.
That means that you're taking 3 times as long at minimum to learn 1000 words as someone else.
If you just care about listening and reading Japanese then there is no point in learning kanji, as most of the time it will either have the kana readings on the side or you can just copy and paste it into a translator.
