Romaji to go with Kanji?

When I search for a word, how can I see the Romaji version?
Because if I learn that "田" is "rice field" I would also like to write the Romaji version so that I can practice/remember how to say it!

Thank you

If you search with "[hashtag]romaji" (except write a real hashtag... if you do it on the forum it just functions as text markup) it will show the kana as romaji.

But in the grand scheme of things, kana only takes days or weeks to learn, so you might as well learn it if you want to learn kanji.

as the previous reply suggested, you should try learning kana! it may seem like a lot, but it’s actually very easy once you get the hang of it. personally, i learned and memorized the readings of kana using duolingo. i found that it was very helpful for that. i had already learned both hiragana and katakana within a week’s time. so, i highly suggest using duolingo to learn how to read kana. but just take note, it starts to become extremely difficult to follow once it moves on to kanji. as you’d expect, an app like that isn’t really thorough enough to teach something that complicated in an efficient manner. there are most certainly better ways to learn kanji, so if you decide to use duolingo for learning/memorizing hiragana and katakana, i suggest finding another means of learning kanji. but let me tell you, knowing kana is very worth it!!
