Learning Japanese is very difficult to learn within a short period of time, especially with Kanji. Your best route is to first learn the basics, starting with Hiragana, then Katakana. Once you have a grasp on those two, you can slowly work your way into Kanji, which is one of the harder ones to learn.

How many kanji characters used please answer from someone Japanese?
Im not Japanese, but in Japanese the amount of charaters (Im refering to Kanji not Kana) you depends on your grade. In first grade there are 80 characters to learn, in second grade that doubles to 160. In total the first 6 or 7 grades cover about 2,136. These are known are Jyouyou Kanji or everyday Kanji and are used quite often in everyday situations. After that there is Jinmei kanji which are used in names. But before anyone trys to learn learn kanji they should learn Kana FIRST. Their are 2 main types of Kana. Hiragana and Katakana. Hiragana is used for Native Japanese words and names. Katakana is used for Foreign names and Borrowing in the Japanese language. Both of these are used to learn how to pronounce Kanji and even be used instead of Kanji sometimes (e.g. when a young child is reading or writing) Both Kana sets have about 42 characters each. Their are times when kana is written on top of kanji or to the right of it (depending on the direction of the text) this is known as Furigana.

What does the Kanji symbol mean?
Kanji is not just one symbol. It's a group of characters that make up the Japanese written language. Along with kanji, there is also katakana and hiragana. If I'm not mistaken all three of these combined form what is called Kana or "Japanese symbols", which is basically the Japanese "alphabet", though this is rather oversimplified. Kanachart.com is just one of many online references where you can see and learn a few of the ''thousands'' of Japanese characters. There is also Romaji. This is where Japanese words are spelled out more or less phonetically using the Roman (our) alphabet. In Romaji: * one - ichi * two - ni * three - san * four - yon * five = go The function of Kanji is tell to the reader what's the main idea of a word, verb etc. You use Kanji to write the main part of a word, and Hiragana to write its declinations and variant parts. In Japanese, to be totally fluent in Kanji, you need to know 2,000 of them. Each Kanji has different readings (some may have Chinese and Japanese readings). The right reading depends of the rest the word, or by context you can guess.

How will you know if a Japanese kanji site is showing you the right kanji?
A lot of kanji overlap, either on meanings or pronunciation. A good site will show you the word, and then a rough English equivalent. If it doesn't, the best thing to do is use one that goes both ways E->J & J->E and re-type in the word you were given.
How do you read Japanese?
To read Japanese, you need to learn three writing systems: kanji, hiragana, and katakana.

Practice and exposure to the language are essential for improving your reading skills.
