im still a bit confused on onyomi and kunyomi. I know that onyomi is Chinese reading and kunyomi is Japanese. However; I'm not sure whether to read a kanji by onyomi or kunyomi.

As a general rule of thumb, you use kunyomi when it's just one kanji by itself, and onyomi when it's a compound word (made with more than one kanji). Of course, there are exceptions, but this applies most of the time. Pay close attention to the vocabulary and you will soon get a feel for it.
