Hey guys! I've only started a few months ago, progressing slowly. Already finished with Hiragana/Katakana, currently going through Tae Kim's stuff.

My problem is with the kanji. My current method is as follows: Encounter a new kanji while studying grammar -> Look it up on jisho.org and kanjidamage -> learn and write all the radicals that make it up, then the kanji itself.

The thing is, that I find it really hard to remember the different on/kun readings, as opposed to the meaning and the writing.

I wanted to use Anki, but Rikaisama's import tool only adds　kunyomi and it's a pain in the ass to do it by hand.

Should I just switch to a different method that has a pre-made deck, or just go and make my own paper flashcards?

Thanks in advance.
