So I caught wind of AJATT and now I'm using RTK instead of KD. The book explains that learning the meaning and writing of the kanji should be separated from pronunciations/compound usage, and that's cool, but I seem to have missed the part on AJATT where khatz explains where we should pick up kanji pronunciations/compound usage? Is it through immersion, separate study, what?
