Is it needed to learn romaji in order to read and write Japanese?
Sentron12
Nope! Some courses will probably mandate it, but you certainly don't need to learn it. Japanese people will mostly write in romaji for the purpose of helping out people they're working with who mainly speak English, I'm pretty sure. It wouldn't hurt, and it's pretty easy, but you certainly don't need to make it a point to learn it.
If you mean "mandatory", no.
Japanese don't use romaji if they can avoid it.
Practically speaking, it's only useful for foreigners who can't read Japanese (for train signs, road signs, etc.)
To learn to read and write in Japanese you need to study kanji, hiragana, and katakana.
The only real use for romaji in studying Japanese is for beginner level textbooks and translating dictionaries.

You can start from the Japanese 1st grade level, then to the 2nd grade level, and work yourself upward that way. Search Google for "Japanese 1st grade kanji" or something similar.
