That depends. I can fluently speak Mandarin, and read and write it too. I'd say I know about over 2,000 in Chinese. But in Japanese it has different readings. For Japanese, the Kanji that I have mastered the readings for are about 200~. Well, I've written some basic sentences in Japanese with Kanji, but that's all. I've also started printing the lyrics that I set in front when I sing using some Kanji(it used to be romaji then only hiragana) so I could remember the reading faster. I'm trying to do this in a conveniently as possible since I have less time because of school. I've been studying since the beginning of summer, and I'm doing worse than I should, but I'm really trying, hopefully I'll get 20 or so memorized this Thanksgiving break.
