My one concern is, I'm learning to read Japanese kanji as if they are symbols that need to be translated to English, and I haven't the faintest clue how any of them would be pronounced... This may not be a problem, but when I encounter hiragana or katakana, they are spelling out words, that I may or may not know the kanji for, but I still wouldn't be able to discern the meaning. Is this alright? Is this a problem that will be ironed out in a later stage of the process? Am i misunderstanding something? I'd appreciate any help, one could offer.
