Learning Kanji 2016/5/3 01:15
How i can learn kanji? If there is a website for this please tell me. And how many letters(kanji) i have to know for reading like a Japanese? (And the most important thing is writing!, it seems hard)
Thanks!

My native language is English and have been studying Japanese for 7 years. In my opinion use Anki its a downloadable program that gives you flash cards of kanji and you can download it onto your mobile phone so you have no problems fitting in some kanji into your day. For reading the newspaper there is a standard 2000 characters they use so in a nutshell if you learn all the 2000 kanji you will be able to read a newspaper and most reading material.

Hope that answers your question. Good luck.

wanikani is a really good webapp for learning kanji. i have been using it regularly for about 6months and my kanji level is around JLPT n4 already.

only downside is the subscription fee but it's under $10/month which to me feels very worthwhile.

That 2000 letters mean Jouyou kanji(常用漢字) only.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_j%C5%8Dy%C5%8D_kanji
But not enough remembering only Jouyou kanji for real daily life in Japan.
Kanji history/culture are very long still mixed old style letters a lot.

Use dictionary sites also Kanji quiz apps and vids on YouTube.
