After getting adapted speed reading and speaking one can see the magic.

 Let’s take an example of新聞

It is read as “Shimbun” (しんぶん) and the meaning is “Newspaper”

Now even if you have learned both Kanji (新) as “Atarashii” and (聞) as “Kiku”, You have to again learn it as a combination of 新聞. So rather than going the difficult way, let’s start learning it as a vocabulary.

Also, if you should even don’t learn it as a vocabulary, but read it as a sentence 4-5 times likeわたしは日本語の新聞が難しくてわからない。

It will not only help you greatly master the vocabulary but it will also increase your speed of reading.

Also, if you speak it loud while reading, it will enhance your listening skills.

There are people who take 2-3 years to achieve an advanced level in the Japanese language by studying very hard. And there are people who do it in less than 1 year studying by a practical approach. Now the choice is yours.
