Yes, learn words not characters! The hardest barrier to that is the lack of spaces. I wrote https://pingtype.github.io https://pingtype.github.io to add spaces, pinyin, literal and parallel translation so I can read interesting text (song lyrics, Bible) instead of just textbooks. It also has a keyboard which uses radical decomposition, but usually it's easier to copy paste the input.
