Even for me, I don’t much like reading romaji and wince at the textbooks with it, mostly because of the large number of homophones in Japanese, I simply don’t know what I’m looking at if it doesn’t have Kanji giving the hint. But if I already have the word in my head, I’m quite happy to type it in. I don’t know proper romaji either (I know, there’s more than one method), it’s mostly “what I type in to Wanikani to get it to work, but without typing the single N twice”. Sorry anyone else had to see it!

Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet but there’s a conjugation app for Android. It has explanations on how to conjugate and tests you on basically anything you want.
It’s pretty simple but good for brute-forcing conjugations into your brain.
Especially Japanese the Spoken Language, which invented its own romanisation system. That one shoots straight through “wince” and well into “cringe”.

Aye.
For example, Jay Rubin’s book “Making Sense of Japanese” has some great content in it but the Romaji just makes it a little bit of a slog for me.
