Learning vocab - jkun666 - 2011-09-08
Hey guys, just a quick question from a beginner.
When learning vocab, do I learn the kanji or just the hiragana? ie 見る or みる?

I don't understand your question though.. After Heisig you should not learn like 'usual' kanji and vocabulary separated. They go hand in hand.

I was a bit confused but this makes sense.

you also need to know the sounds as well
i met up with a japanese person and she said something like "この店は混んでいるね”
i didn't recognize 混んでいる verbally, but after trying to clarify, i realized it was a word that i already knew if i saw it written down but wasn't used to hearing it.
that was kinda embarrassing
