Learning Kanji WELL

How do you all learn kanji?

I usually make flashcards with the kun/om on the back and then separate cards for vocabulary with compounds.

Do you have any strategies to learn both how to write the characters and learning the readings?

Yeah, I read your post, and I disagree. The only essential tool for learning kanji is to write. I have been doing that for a really, really long time (read: Since I was old enough to hold a pencil).

PS: Even if you only learn the jouyou kanji, there's still going to be lots of stuff you can't read. But if you're content having the literacy of a child, that's cool too, I guess.
