I'm not quite sure if this is the right board to post this on, but I have begun to learn japanese (well have been learning for about 3 months now) and I have used Hacking Japanese Supercourse/Anki Flash/Japanese Podcast 101. But anyway as I'm learning how the kanji look and their meaning, I realized I have not learned the pronunciation of them, nor was told to. Is that expressly important or can I for-go that and just keep with learning their meanings and such?

>Tldr;
>I have learned the meanings of roughly 1500 kanji (and more to come)
>Should I also learn the pronunciation?

The problem with kanji readings is that their readings are used rather arbitrarily. They're like -ough.

So the readings of -ough are "oo," "uff," "oh," or "off." So here's an uncommon word -ough word: brougham. The readings alone don't really help, do they? You basically need to just know words themselves, not readings.
