The kanji is not important, only the sounds. for literate Japanese people, the kanji often is important and provides the basis for word selection in some contexts.

Removed line with "kanji have no meaning on their own" as it is not true. Added more context around my choice of explanation.

It leaves you with nothing but rote memory as a means of learning where taking meaning into consideration can allow you to advance much more quickly. | |

生きる : いきる : Ikiru ... (On'yomi) <- It's Kun-yomi. nama na seito (nama na -> nama no; [生]{なま} is a の-adjective in modern Japanese) [生]{なま}の[生徒]{せいと} would make no sense. "Raw student" is 青書生 in Japanese.
