Well I tend to watch some of my favorite shows dubbed in Japanese, like Gravity Falls and South Park. I also tend to read manga in Japanese. It's a lot easier when they have those hiragana side characters next to the Kanji. Also, my first VOCALOID, Luka, came with a manual that listed hiragana and katakana characters and showed the phonetics she used to say them. It was pretty easy to figure out how to read them because the Japanese VOCALOID phonetics are pretty straight forward. (See: Japanese Phonetics)

Aside from that do a lot of research, perhaps pick up a textbook or Kanji guide and study, study, study! :3
