I have always found trying to memorize Chinese characters to be mind numbing boring and tedious. SRS just doesn’t keep my attention long enough for it to work. I have always thought that it would be easier if I took some interesting book written in Chinese and tried to read it by looking up what I don’t know (almost everything) and then at some point, I would stop needing to look up characters that I have already seen.
Unfortunately, this only works when I know which characters correspond to words in a Chinese sentence, but when looking at an arbitrary Chinese sentence, I just don’t know whether a character is a word on its own or part of a larger word. I can cheat by using a tool like the form on the following site, but I have no idea how to do this on my own:

With an English text, like this post, you can easily identify the words due to the spacing, but there is no such thing in a Chinese sentence. How do people learn to identify what is a word in a Chinese sentence?
