Learning Japanese as a hobby, I've learned all the kana and like 30 kanji (first 2 lessons in Heisig's book I think).

I went to Tae Kims guide to learn basic japanese grammar and it heavily uses Kanji. I know you can understand the lessons without knowing the kanji but should I be doing Kanji/leaning words before tackling grammar?

Should I be learning some Kanji, Words, and Grammar all at the same time?

Everything at the same time. Have you never learned any language before? I thought this was basic knowledge.

Do kanji through Heisig's first book, then learn readings of said kanji by finding example sentences/words. Continue to review kanji.

No I haven't learned a language before. It was never required when I went to High School and never took one in College.

So, should I be learning the kanji that Tae Kim puts up at the beginning of his lessons before doing his lessons? I heard that if you do that it fucks up learning the kanji the Heisig way.

Nothing, but idiots who think foreigners should learn a language the same way natives do will tell you otherwise.

How do natives learn the Kanji? Just curious.

Download firefox and use rikaichan. Learn the grammar and the readings at the same time. Try not to peek using rikaichan all the time but try and remember. Take something like kanjidicks or kanjidamage whatever it's called now to study kanji. Take 5 or 10 kanji and some grammar rules a day. In the weekend test yourself. End of the month, test yourself for everything you've learned that month. Take more kanji if everything goes smoothly. You will run out of grammar pages but you will have to check back regularly if you are reading texts, which you should.

The same way we learned the English language.
