Kanji…to learn it or not to learn it – that is your question. Learning to read Kanji at a level equivalent to a native Japanese speaker does take a considerable amount of effort, commitment and most of all time. If you are wanting to read a Japanese newspaper or get to level where you can enter a Japanese university, then you are on very long road to Kanji proficiency.
Being able to read Kanji has numerous benefits and I certainly recommend learning Kanji if you desire to speak Japanese. I often tell new students of Japanese to think about learning Kanji in terms of a very beneficial learning process rather than just a means to be able to read Japanese.
