I'm learning Japanese, I firstly studied through the pimsleur japenese level 1-3 and then researched through various sites and e-books, and already have a average-good knowledge of the Kana, but I'm having some trouble understanding the Kanji, I've understood how it is supposed to work but I'm unable to find some good ebooks or sites about full kanji tables and easy steps to memorize it as well as drawing it.

any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

dont the japs learn it by rote learning? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rote_learning


Quote:
The system is widely practiced in schools across India, Pakistan, China, Singapore, Japan (where rote learning is fundamental in learning to read and write kanji from a young age)


which basically means shit loads of repetition. good luck you are a brave one.

I study japanese at university and couldn't find a single useful online ressource for learning kanji. I would rely on books, e.g.:

http://www.amazon.de/Langenscheidt-Kanji-Kana-Langenscheidts-japanischen/dp/3468493886/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209060327&sr=8-3

(unfortunately it's german, but I'm sure there a plenty of english books)

I would say it's very difficult, nearly impossible, to learn the joyoo kanji without a real teacher...(Personal experience)
